American automaker Ford on Wednesday followed in the steps of General Motors in warning that President Donald Trump's tariffs are going to take a hammer to its bottom line.

News of Ford's guidance sent its stock shares diving by more than 2% in after-hours trading on Wednesday.

Longtime media analyst Angelo Carusone from Media Matters explained that Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino are making President Donald Trump's Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy worse.

The video is not of Epstein's cell, however. But the way Bondi explained it just made things worse, Carusone said.
