President Donald Trump blamed "fake news" after learning that rumors had circulated about his death.

During a White House event on Tuesday afternoon, Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy asked Trump about the "big viral social media trend."

Behind the scenes, one of President Donald Trump’s top nemeses is scoring major victories and leaving the president on the defensive. The Atlantic reported Monday the details of a highly organized, remarkably effective “legal resistance” to Trump’s ongoing efforts in his second term.

Former ethics czar, impeachment prosecutor, and frequent thorn in Trump’s side, Norm Eisen, “has pursued more than 100 legal matters” against Trump, according to the report.

Any hope that Donald Trump and his inner circle may have had about dispelling rumors about his health suffered a setback on Tuesday morning after the president was interviewed by conservative CNN contributor Scott Jennings.

In a snippet of the interview Jennings posted to X, the president sounds nasal and congested as he complained about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

President Donald Trump has abruptly canceled funding for a massive project in deep-red Indiana, leaving many of his supporters feeling confused and hurt.

Sen. Joni Ernst (R-IA) announced Tuesday that she won’t be seeking a third term in a video posted to social media, setting the stage for a contested Senate seat in the state of Iowa which, while not considered a swing state, has historically been competitive.

“After a tremendous amount of prayer and reflection, I will not be seeking re-election in 2026,” Ernst said in a video message, posted on the social media platform X. “This was no easy decision; I love my state and country.”

Republicans in the U.S. Senate are frustrated with Democrats' delaying approval for President Donald Trump's political appointees to his government.

U.S. President Donald Trump vowed to "do something" after Russian President Vladimir Putin flouted his latest two-week deadline on the war in Ukraine.

In an interview with conservative radio host and CNN contributor Scott Jennings, Trump said he was "very disappointed" in Putin.

President Donald Trump's agenda for America was brutally parodied in an Atlantic newsletter by columnist Alexandra Petri, who portrayed it as the expiration of a "trial period" for America's freedom and public services.

"We understand that over the past 250-odd years, you have come to rely on the services provided by the U.S. of A.: postal delivery, representative government, edible food, clean water, lifesaving vaccines, and no kings — ever, guaranteed," she wrote. "Well, 250 years of free is enough. Now we demand $TRUMP coin."

Conspiracy theorist Alex Jones blew up on air after one of the hosts on his InfoWars platform quit.

In an announcement on Monday, host Owen Shroyer said that he was leaving Jones' operation because his boss had suggested he was "too anti-Trump."

President Donald Trump teased a major announcement on Tuesday afternoon, but the Pentagon accidentally spoiled the surprise by posting the news ahead of him—then quickly deleting it.

Dave Brown, deputy managing editor for Politico, noted that Trump lost both the element of surprise and the impact of his "Oval Office announcement slated for Tuesday afternoon." Instead, the story broke early when the Defense Department’s website inadvertently published a link to the upcoming livestream with the caption “U.S. Space Command HQ Announcement.” The reference was later removed.

A decision by former Fox News host and current U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro to no longer prosecute some gun crimes in Washington, D.C., was roundly trashed on MSNBC on Tuesday morning as both “insanity” and an invitation for chaos.

The Department of Justice vowed that the U.S. military would "remain in Los Angeles" after a federal judge ruled that President Donald Trump had illegally deployed troops to the city.

In a ruling on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said that the administration had "violated the Posse Comitatus Act" by deploying 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to Los Angeles.

A federal judge's order on Tuesday invalidating President Donald Trump's deployment of the National Guard to keep order in Los Angeles amid protests against his deportation policy has triggered a flurry of legal analysis.

The order, issued by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco, is stayed from taking effect for 10 days to give Trump time to appeal the decision — but it contains scorching rejoinders against the president's use of military power. Breyer, the brother of retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer, said Trump was effectively using the military as an illegal "national police force" and violated the Posse Comitatus Act, the federal law that prohibits the military from domestic civilian law enforcement.
