Congressional Democrats are investigating the disappearance of millions of dollars that major corporations pledged to President Donald Trump's planned presidential library through legal settlements, questioning what happened to the funds after the original receiving organization was dissolved.

Sens. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), along with Rep. Melanie Stansbury (D-NM), sent letters Monday to executives at ABC, Meta, Paramount and X seeking information about the status of settlement commitments totaling at least $63 million, reported the Washington Post.

CNN host Abby Phillip silenced a MAGA columnist on Tuesday's broadcast of "NewsNight" who was defending recent comments from two GOP lawmakers that Phillip described as "anti-Muslim bigotry."

Phillip and Lydia Moynihan, a correspondent at The New York Post, got into a heated back-and-forth during a panel discussion about recent anti-Muslim remarks from two GOP lawmakers and Speaker Mike Johnson's (R-LA) refusal to condemn them. Earlier in the day, Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) posted on X that "Muslims don't belong in American society." Those comments followed Rep. Randy Fine's (R-FL) remarks about the "Islamification of America."

Attorney General Pam Bondi has moved into military housing after facing growing threats from cartels and irate Americans, according to a new report.

The New York Times reported on Tuesday that Bondi moved out of her Washington, D.C. apartment and moved into a military base in the area. The report noted that Bondi has been facing numerous threats since the Trump administration's decision to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolás Maduro in January. At the same time, a growing number of Americans are increasingly frustrated with Bondi's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files, according to the report.

One of President Donald Trump's allies in Congress left political analysts aghast on Tuesday after making a startling admission during a Fox News interview.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) joined Jesse Watters on "Jesse Watters Prime Time," where the two discussed the ongoing investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein's ranch in New Mexico. The 7,600-acre property, known as Zorro Ranch, was mentioned in multiple allegations against Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell. It was recently sold to a Trump ally named Don Huffines, a Republican state representative in Texas.

President Donald Trump's latest pick to become the nation's next surgeon general just hung "a big warning sign" on her nomination, according to one analyst.

Two weeks ago, Casey Means testified before the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions committee, which is tasked with determining whether her nomination can move to a full vote. At one point in the hearing, Means seemed reluctant to acknowledge that the flu vaccine is safe and effective, which Johnathan Cohn of The Bulwark argued in a new article suggested that Means was "tailoring her statements to avoid political blowback."

New ethics charges filed against President Donald Trump's "attack dog" could expose another one of Trump's allies, according to one expert.

On Tuesday, the D.C. Office of Disciplinary Counsel formally accused Ed Martin, Trump's pardon attorney at the Department of Justice, of ethical violations over threatening letters he sent to Georgetown University's law school regarding its diversity policies. What Martin is being accused of in the letter could also apply to another one of Trump's favorite prosecutors, U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro in Washington, D.C., former federal prosecutor Harry Litman suggested during a new podcast interview.

Matt Gaetz, a former MAGA lawmaker and ally of President Donald Trump, was stunned on Tuesday after learning who had been selected as the new Supreme Leader in Iran.

Mojtaba Khamenei, the 56-year-old son of the late Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, was selected by Iran's Assembly of Experts as the country's next leader. Khamenei has been described by experts as "his father on steroids," and the New York Times described the new Khamenei's reign as a "show of open defiance to Iran’s attackers."

A legal expert appeared astonished on Tuesday by a new report that President Donald Trump's hand-picked prosecutor in Miami is struggling to indict one of the president's political foes.

CNN reported on Tuesday that U.S. Attorney Jason Reding Quiñones in the Southern District of Florida and officials in Trump's Department of Justice have been pushing to indict former CIA Director John Brennan over his involvement in the 2016 investigation into Russia's interference in the general election. However, that push has been thwarted by weak evidence against Brennan, CNN reported.

President Donald Trump was brutally mocked by political analysts and observers on Tuesday after he announced a new oil refinery would open in Brownsville, Texas.

Earlier in the day, Trump claimed that his administration had attracted a new $300 billion investment from an Indian oil company, Reliance, to build a new refinery. However, some analysts and observers noted that Trump appeared to take credit for an investment announced under the previous Biden administration.

President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday that the U.S. is opening the first domestic oil refinery in the last half-century.

Trump claimed in a new post on Truth Social that the refinery will be located in Brownsville, Texas, and will be built using funds from a more than $300 billion investment deal struck with an Indian oil company called Reliance.
