President Donald Trump is expected to nominate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche for the role as early as Wednesday night, CNN's Kristen Holmes reported, citing a source familiar with the decision.

Blanche has been serving as the acting AG since Pam Bondi was ousted in April. Blanche, who is Trump's former defense attorney, has overseen several high-profile events, including the attempted creation of a $1.776 billion fund to pay people who claimed they had been wrongfully prosecuted by the government.

Fans of President Donald Trump's Make America Great Again movement melted down on Wednesday after one of the president's foes teased his "Republican takeover plan" to the media.

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY), who recently lost his primary election to a Trump-endorsed candidate, told TMZ DC on Wednesday that he spent time in Costa Rica with former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, and the two discussed "what life is like on the outside" of the Trump movement. He also noted that the two former Trump supporters had discussions about "where the Republican Party is going in the future," but added that he can't share details of that plan at this time.

MAGA radio host Megyn Kelly sounded off on CBS News chief Bari Weiss during a new episode of her show over the decision to fire veteran journalist Scott Pelley.

Pelley was let go from CBS News on Tuesday "for cause," according to a letter obtained by NBC News. In the letter, CBS executive Nick Bilton said Pelley had shown contempt for the organization when he accused senior leadership of "murdering" the acclaimed show "60 Minutes" by firing journalists and producers.

President Donald Trump's White House is growing increasingly concerned about the president's standing after the House of Representatives took a key vote on Wednesday, according to a new report.

CNN's Kristen Holmes reported that there is a "huge amount of concern" among the several Trump officials she spoke with about their level of concern following the House's vote to throttle Trump's war powers. It was a staggering vote, marking the first time many Republicans publicly stood against Trump on a key issue for his administration.

Dr. Mehmet Oz, the administrator of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, befuddled an analyst on Wednesday by making several wild claims about President Donald Trump's health during the daily press briefing.

Oz was asked by reporters about why Trump gets multiple physicals per year when most other people only get one. His answer raised eyebrows.

President Donald Trump showed off a surprising size chart during a press gaggle in the Oval Office on Wednesday, leaving onlookers stunned.

Trump held up a chart comparing the size of the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool renovation project underway to famous skyscrapers such as the Willis Tower in Chicago, the Empire State Building, and One World Trade Center in New York. The chart was titled, "Our Pool is Bigger than Skyscrapers."

A former federal prosecutor warned on Wednesday that President Donald Trump is hiding the enormous cost of his most heinous scandal right under the noses of Americans.

Harry Litman, a former deputy assistant attorney general, argued in a new Substack essay that Trump's "[lurching] from scandal to scandal like a drunken sailor" had effectively distracted the American public from his intensified bombing campaigns in South America. He added that the strikes have not only killed close to 200 people, but also "violate the law and bring our country into disrepute."

The House of Representatives has voted to limit President Donald Trump's war powers in Iran.

House Democrats had been introducing such resolutions again and again to put pressure on Republicans, who had been consistently voting them down. However, this time, just enough Republicans crossed the aisle to pass the measure, with four GOP lawmakers joining in a 215-208 vote.

Joe Rogan used a wide-ranging conversation with screenwriter Joe Eszterhas on Wednesday to unload on the Trump administration's immigration enforcement — warning that a militarized, unidentified police force on American streets sets a dangerous precedent regardless of who's in power.

"It is a very slippery slope when you give people — and they're trained for seven weeks — this militarized police force that has no identification on the streets," Rogan said on an episode of The Joe Rogan Experience. "That's a precedent that you might like when it's for a cause that you support, but that could easily be for a cause that you do not support."

President Donald Trump lashed out again at CNN's Kaitlan Collins on Wednesday during a press gaggle in the Oval Office after she asked him about whether his so-called "anti-weaponization" fund is dead or just on hold.

Trump's Department of Justice sought to establish the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund as part of a settlement between the Trump administration and the IRS over a 2019 case involving Trump's leaked tax returns. The fund was intended to pay people who claimed they were wrongfully prosecuted by the government, and has faced significant bipartisan criticism after some of the president's allies said they would seek restitution.

Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner's latest scheme to buy a private island in Albania astounded two political analysts on Wednesday.

This week, Trump and Kushner unveiled their plans to buy a 1,400-hectare private island and build a resort for the ultra-wealthy. The Albanian government approved plans for the project last year, which is expected to cost in the neighborhood of $1.4 billion, according to reports. However, Albanian authorities opened a corruption investigation into the project on Monday because of the overlap between Kushner and Trump's businesses and President Donald Trump's political role, Politico reported.

Thousands of Albanians have taken to the streets — and the internet — to rage against a planned luxury resort linked to Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner, with protesters demanding the government cancel the project and chanting "Ivanka, go home."

The flashpoint is a proposed €4 billion ($4.7 billion) development — described by Prime Minister Edi Rama as an "extraordinary investment" — on Sazan Island and the protected Vjosa-Narta coastal wetlands in southern Albania. Ivanka described it in dreamy terms on a recent podcast.
