Conservative podcaster and convicted criminal Steve Bannon received a call from presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump, a convicted felon, while he was live on air.

During his Monday War Room broadcast, Bannon interrupted an interview with Arizona Senate candidate Kari Lake (R) to take a call.

The first time Donald Trump fired somebody on "The Apprentice," the Trump Tower shook, he told writer Ramin Setoodeh for a new book.

The publication, "Apprentice in Wonderland," is set to be released this week, and Setoodeh revealed more information from the pages with an excerpt in the Washington Post.

Rudy Giuliani's Upper East Side apartment is back on the market as the former New York City mayor faces bankruptcy.

Giuliani originally listed the three-bedroom unit in 2023 for $6.5 million. Just three months later, he cut the price by $400,000. And then, earlier this year, the property was de-listed for unknown reasons.

Judge Aileen Cannon has been an ongoing source of frustration to Donald Trump's critics, repeatedly delaying the trial in special Jack Smith's Mar-a-Lago documents case and flatly rejecting his request for a limited gag order.

Ty Cobb, a former Trump White House lawyer turned Trump foe, has been especially biting in his criticism — telling CNN that Cannon is showing a "palpable bias" that goes way beyond "mere ineptitude."

The Trump campaign has a secret weapon in its war to win a bloc of middle eastern voters in the key swing state of Michigan — and her name is Tiffany.

That's according to a new report from the Associated Press about former President Donald Trump's struggle to overcome lingering outrage over the controversial Muslim ban he enacted as president.

A Republican congressional candidate shaved nearly a decade off his age on a dating website, according to a report Monday.

Pennsylvania state Rep. Ryan Mackenzie messaged women on Tinder in March 2020 claiming to be 29 years old, when he was actually 37, reported the Daily Mail.

According to Republican Party strategist Scott Jennings, for Donald Trump to be successful in his debate with Joe Biden on June 27, he needs to rein himself in, "stay over the target" — and let the president talk.

Sitting on a panel with Democratic strategist David Axelrod and CNN's John Berman, Jennings stated Trump's worst enemy too often is himself and he should let Biden take the lead — and possibly expose himself to new concerns about his age.

Fury over Speaker Mike Johnson's appointment of an extremist to the House intelligence Committee forced the return of an unlikely voice — his ousted predecessor Kevin McCarthy (R-CA).

McCarthy was among the Republicans who called Johnson last week seeking an explanation for why Rep. Scott Perry (R-PA) and Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-TX) had been named to the panel, which the former House speaker had worked to depoliticize, reported the Washington Post.

Former President Donald Trump has created a civil war within his own MAGA movement amid a crucial election year that could decide whether he ends up in the White House or the big house, the New York Times reported Monday.

His controversial endorsement snub of Freedom Caucus chair Rep. Bob Good (R-VA) has divided his loyal MAGA backers — known for their allegiance to the Trump party line — in a critical swing state in the upcoming election.

Former President Donald Trump delivered yet another all-caps rant on Monday demanding that the United States Supreme Court grant him full immunity from prosecution for any act he took while in office.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, Trump once again is hinting at using the DOJ to go after President Joe Biden should SCOTUS not grant his request for immunity, and he even suggested that he would be justified pursuing charges against political foes "for any reason."

On Monday morning CNN contributor Bakari Sellers laughed and attempted to give credit to Black GOP strategist Joseph Pinion who was blindsided with a supercut of Donald Trump making racist comments.

Brought on initially to discuss the former president's attempt to reach out to black voters, the Republican party strategist was then presented by CNN host Sara Sidener with a collection of clips from Donald Trump speeches where he made comments that drew criticism for their racist overtones.

After the clips were completed, Sidner pressed her Republican guest, "He said a lot of different things that really were upsetting to Black folks and white folks. How do you get over that?'

"I'll just say this," Pinion parried. "We're not in an election where you're saying this is the person who's perfect on race versus just the person who is terrible on race. I think that we like to whitewash away the racial gaps of the candidates when we believe in the underlying policies of that candidate. So whether it's Joe Biden talking about racial jungles 30 years ago and Kamala Harris having to remind people that that little girl on that bus was me or whether it's Joe Biden as recently as two years ago reminiscing about the good times he used to hang out in the cafeteria with all of those avowed racists in the United States Senate."

"Yes, there are plenty of comments that we can talk about from these presidents. There are people on the left I think that probably take more issue with the racial legacy of Donald Trump but most people, I think, are saying it is a pox on both houses," he added.

Given his chance to respond, Sellers laughed and offered, "Listen, I just listened to my good friend not actually answer your question and I thought the dodging was pretty good."

"I thought it was good, I thought your elocution was amazing," he continued while laughing. "Look, the fact is Donald Trump uses racism as political currency. To his point, this is baked into the cake of who Donald Trump is. I mean, we know Donald Trump is racist, so anytime you sit here and say, 'Look, that guy over there is racist, don't vote for him,' that's really not moving the needle."

A CNN panel on Monday contended that former President Donald Trump will only accept a vice presidential nominee who has absolutely no will of their own and who will allow themselves to be humiliated on the former president's behalf.

In discussing Trump's potential VP pick, ex-George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum made the case that Sen. J.D. Vance and North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum are too potentially independent minded to be the nominee.

Former George W. Bush speechwriter David Frum made the case on Monday that former President Donald Trump will blow what should be a very winnable election to President Joe Biden.

Appearing on CNN, Frum argued that Trump's narcissism is simply too great to allow the 2024 election to be a referendum in the incumbent, President Joe Biden.
