A week after President Donald Trump took the extraordinary step of ordering his Department of Justice to launch an investigation into former Homeland Security cybersecurity director Christopher Krebs, the onetime Republican official is speaking out.

And promising to fight back.

Attorney and author Shan Wu is writing in the Daily Beast that President Donadl Trump is demanding the power to prosecute individuals and whole groups of people alike without either the benefit of court or legal language.

Trump is using executive orders at “a record-breaking” pace to “further personal grievances” that are untethered to the law,” says Wu. This includes his presidential memoranda accusing his own former officials, Miles Taylor and Chris Krebs, of crimes including, in the case of Taylor, treason — which carries a potential death sentence.

President Donald Trump on Wednesday continued his assault against the American judicial system in a social media post where he strongly criticized a federal judge who handed the White House a legal defeat yesterday.

“Can you believe it? A Judge ruled against us on 530,000 Illegal Migrants (that Joe Biden flew over the Border in his program to transport Illegals into the Country by airplane) saying that they can’t be looked at as a group, but that each case has to be tried individually,” Trump wrote Wednesday in a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform.

California is suing the federal government over Donald Trump's on-again-off-again tariffs, the governor and attorney general said Wednesday, claiming the American president does not have the right to impose them.

The move marks the strongest pushback yet against a tariff roll-out that has sent global stock markets into meltdown, and left businesses across the US fretting about uncertainty.

CNN conservative Scott Jennings sparked an on-air clash with Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) as the two found themselves on opposite sides of the brewing debate over the deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia – and the Democratic efforts to retrieve him.

The heated exchange unfolded Wednesday on CNN’s “The Arena” as Jennings, a longtime GOP strategist, continued to insist that the Maryland father deported to an El Salvadoran mega-prison by President Donald Trump last month did not have a legal right to remain in the United States.

A dismayed Chris Servheen is raising the alarm about what’s become of federal scientists who have kept watch over the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem’s grizzly bear population for the last 55 years.

The group of research biologists and technicians, known as the Interagency Grizzly Bear Study Team, are being hamstrung at best and arguably dismantled, he told WyoFile. For decades, until his retirement in 2016, Sevheen worked closely with the study team while coordinating grizzly bear recovery for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.

Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) is repairing connections with liberal allies by blocking the confirmation of Trump’s nominees for top New York federal prosecutors.

“Donald Trump has made clear he has no fidelity to the law and intends to use the Justice Department, the U.S. Attorney offices and law enforcement as weapons to go after his perceived enemies,” Schumer said in a statement. “Such blatant and depraved political motivations are deeply corrosive to the rule of law and leaves me deeply skeptical of … Donald Trump’s intentions for these important positions.”

The savings that have come from cuts in government staff and funding were being tracked online, but there was a substantial change in the numbers overnight, a new report said.

Before President Donald Trump was sworn into office, he and tech billionaire Elon Musk promised Americans they would cut $2 trillion in government spending to reduce the deficit.

The international trade war unleashed by Donald Trump’s massive set of tariffs on China is starting to present a growing dilemma for U.S. soybean farmers – and it could come at a political cost to the president.

That’s according to a new report in the Atlantic, which detailed Wednesday how Trump’s tariffs not only have the ability to weaken soybean production in the U.S., but also could “turbocharge deforestation in the Amazon” in the process.

U.S. District Judge James Boasberg has the tools to proceed with criminal contempt charges against President Donald Trump's administration — and can also enforce a sentence if they are found guilty, a legal analyst said Wednesday.

Slate senior writer Mark Joseph Stern addressed Boasberg's ruling regarding the government's response to his court order.

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) accused the Trump administration of blatantly lying about the whereabouts of wrongfully deported immigrant Kilmar Ábrego García on Wednesday.

After touching down in El Salvador to inquire about García's whereabouts, Van Hollen said that he was not able to see García nor even to have a phone call with him.

Two members of the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA) have been let go by the Trump White House, including one who was appointed by Trump during his first administration, according to a report from Reuters.

Tanya Otsuka and Todd Harper, who are both Democrats, were removed on Tuesday. They released separate statements on their termination.
