As part of her opening statement before the Senate Judiciary Committee, Attorney General Pam Bondi paused, laughed and smirked when describing judicial efforts to rein in the Donald Trump administration.

After being introduced by Committee Chair Chuck Grassley (R-IA) Bondi listed off accomplishments during her tenure before closing by mentioning lawsuits filed against the administration, which she seemed to find amusing.

Conservative attorney George Conway, one of President Donald Trump's loudest critics since early in his first term, warned Monday that one person in the president's orbit may be steering him more than anyone else.

During a panel discussion on MSNBC's "The Weeknight," Conway urged viewers to pay close attention to White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller and suggested he may be the power behind the throne of Trump's second administration.

The threats and bullying that Donald Trump has successfully used against major law firms, educational institutions and media empires are increasingly falling flat when it comes to mayors of major cities, according to a report Tuesday.

According to a report from the Washington Post, no matter how the president blusters and menaces big city mayors, with a few exceptions, most of them are refusing to look the other way as ICE agents invade their communities and snatch suspected undocumented immigrants off the streets.

The U.S. Supreme Court declined to take up an appeal filed by convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, but President Donald Trump propped open the door to pardoning her Monday.

Trump was asked Monday whether he would consider freeing Maxwell, who's serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in grooming and abusing underage girls with the late Jeffrey Epstein. The president claimed ignorance of the matter but added that he would discuss her case with the Department of Justice – which stuck out to Republican strategist Lee Carter as a bit convoluted.

President Donald Trump fired off at former Justice Department attorney Jack Smith Tuesday following reports that he had monitored the communications of Republican lawmakers during his investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

“Deranged Jack Smith got caught with his hand in the cookie jar,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social. “A real sleazebag!!!”

For the first time since she appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee after Donald Trump nominated her to be Attorney General, Pam Bondi will face questioning on Tuesday at 9AM EST.

Bondi, a former Florida attorney general, was confirmed by the Senate in February on a 54-46 vote — with only Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) crossing the aisle for her — after she was substituted in by the Trump administration after the nomination of ex-Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) crashed and burned.

Chinese national Xinyue Lou is on trial this week, facing criminal charges for conspiracy after being accused of illegally funneling money to President Donald Trump for his 2020 re-election bid.

According to a Tuesday report from The New York Times, he did so in part for a photo with Trump — and was ultimately denied the opportunity because he was “not American.”

Hours before Attorney General Pam Bondi is scheduled to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee, a former high-ranking Department of Justice official accused her of implementing a “Trump-first approach” to running the DOJ.

In a column for MSNBC, Anthony Coley, who previously headed the DOJ’s Office of Public Affairs, accused the former Florida attorney general, who has long-time ties to the president, of implementing a "no-holds-barred, anything-for-Trump playbook has left the Justice Department in chaos.”

President Donald Trump mused about his eternal fate again during a news conference at the White House.

The 79-year-old president was asked about a new “America Prays” initiative by the White House that will mark next year's semiquincentennial by “inviting America’s great religious communities to pray for our nation and for our people."

Donald Trump is growing increasingly frustrated that some of the political initiatives of his second term are running into legal roadblocks — particularly as some of his judicial appointees are the ones running interference.

According to a report from Politico’s Kyle Cheney, Trump’s selections to the Supreme Court, Justices Amy Coney Barrett, Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch, have been reliably siding with him on a series of short-term wins via the so-called “shadow docket,” but he continues to suffer setbacks from district judges he nominated to the bench — including one he put in place recently.

A leaked White House draft memo suggests that the Trump administration is actively considering stiffing as many as 750,000 federal workers and denying them compensation while furloughed amid the ongoing government shutdown, according to an Axios report published Tuesday.

As many as 750,000 federal workers are projected to be furloughed for every day of the shutdown – now in its seventh day – according to estimates from the Congressional Budget Office.

The Oregon Republican Party is facing backlash after it shared a social media post about a planned military deployment in Portland using a fabricated image composed of photographs from South America.

The party's official accounts on Facebook, Instagram, and X claimed, "President Trump on Sunday deployed 300 California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon after a judge ruled that the Oregon National Guard could not be deployed to keep federal facilities and personnel in Portland safe."

President Donald Trump launched a scathing critique of the NFL's selection of Puerto Rican superstar Bad Bunny as the upcoming Super Bowl halftime show headliner, sparking renewed tensions between the artist and the former president.

In a Newsmax interview Monday, Trump expressed his bewilderment, declaring, "I don't know who he is, I don't know why they're doing it — it's, like, crazy!" He dismissed the selection as "absolutely ridiculous," suggesting the NFL was influenced by "some promoter they hired to pick up entertainment."
