In a surprise announcement on Thursday afternoon, Department of Justice Inspector General William Blier is initiating a review of his department over complaints that the release of the entire Jeffrey Epstein files is not in compliance with the law signed by Donald Trump.

Posted on the DOJ’s website, Blier stated, “The DOJ Office of the Inspector General (OIG) is initiating an audit of DOJ’s compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act. Our preliminary objective is to evaluate the DOJ’s processes for identifying, redacting, and releasing records in its possession as required by the Act.”

Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) called out Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick after he misrepresented his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein.

During a Thursday hearing before the House Appropriations Committee, Dean noted that Lutnick falsely claimed he had never spoken to Epstein again after a single meeting in which his wife was present.

U.S. border czar Tom Homan at a right-wing Turning Point USA event faced questions about immigration agents killing Minnesota resident Alex Pretti.

At a TPUSA event on Thursday, host Benny Johnson invited members of the audience to ask Homan questions. One young man demanded "accountability" for Pretti's killing.

Pro-MAGA news network Real America's Voice pulled the plug on host Gina Loudon after she blamed the rising costs of fuel on President Donald Trump's war in Iran.

On Thursday, co-host David Brody asked Loudon to comment on Trump's decision to order the U.S. military to fire on small Iranian boats, possibly breaking a fragile ceasefire agreement.

Acting Navy Secretary Hung Cao once feared that "witchcraft" was taking over the country and called himself "African American" because he lived in Africa for a period.

After Secretary of the Navy John Phelan was fired this week, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth promoted Cao to fill the position temporarily despite controversial comments uncovered by FactPost. The report included allegations that the Vietnamese-American once asked for a KKK mask with slits cut where eye holes would be.

Donald Trump’s dabbling in crypto financial instruments is leaving a bad taste in the mouths of investors who bet on the president’s enthusiasm, only to have their pockets emptied.

According to a report from Politico, the $TRUMP memecoin has crashed 95 percent from its January 2025 peak, leaving retail investors devastated, while Trump, his family and other insiders have cashed in to the tune of approximately $320 million.

According to Politico's Declan Harty, "Eleven months ago, a gala dinner for major investors in the cryptocurrency token set off a buying frenzy from MAGA-loving crypto traders, outrage among Democrats and a headline-grabbing protest at the event. But a similar event planned for Saturday at Mar-a-Lago is highlighting a growing disenchantment with Trump's crypto ventures."

Trump's memecoin is overwhelmingly held by two entities: an affiliate of the Trump Organization and a company run by Bill Zanker, a longtime Trump business partner –– both collect fees on the memecoin's trading.

In yet another sign that things are not going well despite all his predictions that the war with Iran is about to come to a close, Donald Trump is threatening more violence in the Strait of Hormuz where the Middle Eastern country has the upper hand.

The war, which the president claims the US has already won, has now been raging since the beginning of March and, despite White House announcements of a ceasefire, it continues with constant skirmishes.

During an appearance on MS NOW on Thursday morning, Cook Political Report Senior Analyst Dave Wasserman delivered grim news to the Republican Party, with the midterm election only seven months away.

Speaking with co-hosts Joe Scarborough and Willie Geist, Wasserman claimed there is little at the moment that is going their way with an unpopular president and an unpopular war dragging them down to new low approval depths.
