President Donald Trump is trying to deport a Russian man who passed the U.S. screening process for asylum. The U.S. government has also taken away his son.

Aaron Reichlin-Melnick, a senior fellow at the American Immigration Council, posted an excerpt of a New York Times report revealing that the man fled to the United States after his wife was locked up for her political views.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced plans to ask a court to determine whether Democrats who fled the state to prevent Republican redistricting efforts had "vacated" their office.

After Democrats denied the Texas House of Representatives a two-thirds quorum for the second day in a row on Tuesday, Paxton released a statement on his intentions to have their seats declared vacant.

Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell "vigorously opposes disclosure of the grand jury materials" from her sex trafficking case, her attorney said.

In response to a Department of Justice request to unseal the grand jury materials, Maxwell's attorneys filed court documents on Tuesday, stating that her client would oppose the move.

President Donald Trump's administration has drawn up a draft of guidelines to block non-U.S. citizens from having children on U.S. soil and becoming citizens.

The Constitution details "birthright citizenship" in the 14th Amendment, saying that anybody born on American soil belongs to the nation. The Trump administration has tried to block that with an executive order.

President Donald Trump boasted that he had extracted a $600 billion "gift" from the European Union after threatening to impose 35-percent tariffs, but an economic analyst cast doubt on whether that money would ever be paid.

The president told CNBC's "Squawk Box" on Tuesday morning that he had cut tariffs against the EU to 15 percent in exchange for the payment, which he said could be invested in "anything we want," but CNBC's senior analyst Ron Insana told MSNBC's Ana Cabrera that Trump's tactics were too "vague" to tell if they're effective.

U.S. President Donald Trump gave a lengthy interview to CNBC on Tuesday and critics quickly pounced on the president for telling a large number of false claims on topics ranging from monthly jobs numbers to the price of gas to international trade agreements.

Toward the start of the interview, CNBC host Joe Kernen pushed back on Trump's claims that the Bureau of Labor Statistics had "rigged" job creation numbers against him and debunked a Trump statement that the BLS had covered up negative jobs data revisions under the Biden administration until after the November 2024 presidential election.

President Donald Trump is still reeling over last week’s ‘awful’ jobs report according to an anonymous White House official, who told CNN’s Alayna Treene Tuesday what specifically “set him off” regarding the report.

Published last Friday, the figures from the Bureau of Labor Statistics showed that only 73,000 jobs were created in July, far below the projected 115,000, while also revising job numbers from May and June to be 258,000 lower than initial assessments. Within hours of the report being published, Trump fired BLS Commissioner Erika McEntarfer, claiming the findings were “rigged.”

Conservative legal scholar Jack Goldsmith revealed that the U.S. Supreme Court relied on an incorrectly cited statute to justify its shocking birthright citizen ruling.

Goldsmith, a former United States Assistant Attorney General for the Office of Legal Counsel under the George W. Bush administration, wrote that the decision written by Justice Amy Coney Barrett contained a key error, as Slate legal reporter Mark Joseph Stern summarized.

President Donald Trump shouted from the White House roof to reporters asking questions on the ground in a bizarre impromptu press conference.

While apparently surveying the site for a new White House ballroom on Tuesday, Trump was seen wandering around the building's roof.

The Donald Trump Administration’s decision in late July to reverse course on a $6.2 billion funding freeze in education dollars came amid a swath of bipartisan backlash, though it's the pushback from local education officials in pro-Trump communities that may have moved the needle, argued reporter Toluse Olorunnipa Tuesday in The Atlantic.

“On the campaign trail, Trump’s promise to ‘send education back to the states’ was often greeted with applause, and the Supreme Court has allowed the president to go ahead with his plans to gut the Education Department,” Olorunnipa wrote.
