Venezuelan opposition leader Maria Machado joined Fox News’ Sean Hannity Monday night to shower President Donald Trump with praise in the wake of the attack on her own country that killed at least 80 Venezuelans — and critics pounced on what some described as the “deeply sad and pathetic” display.

Machado is among the most prominent leaders of the political movement opposed to Venezuelan President Nicholas Maduro’s government, and has been championed by conservatives as the clear successor to Maduro in the wake of his arrest by U.S. forces. Trump, however, poured cold water on the idea after saying Sunday that she didn’t have the “support or respect” among Venezuelans to lead the country.

President Donald Trump's former criminal defense attorney is raising ethical concerns from his current perch on a federal appeals court.

After Inauguration Day, Emil Bove jumped from being Trump's personal lawyer to a top position at the Department of Justice, and then ascended to the bench on the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals in September. Legal experts are concerned that his loyalty to the president remains undiminished, reported Politico.

President Donald Trump may have already undermined the pretenses under which the U.S. captured Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and flew him to the U.S. to stand trial on narco-terrorism and weapons charges, according to one expert.

Early Saturday morning, Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, were arrested by U.S. authorities at the Venezuelan presidential palace. Shortly after the arrest took place, Attorney General Pam Bondi unsealed an indictment accusing Maduro of being part of a cartel, possessing illegal weapons, and various drug crimes.

Mockery abounded on Monday night after the new favorite CBS News anchor of some MAGA fans stumbled during a live broadcast.

Tony Dokoupil, the new host of CBS Evening News, completely fumbled a transition between segments on Monday night, mixing up a story about Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ). He also steamrolled a health care expert during an interview.

Dan Rather, the former longtime anchor of CBS Evening News, tore into President Donald Trump on Monday night, calling the president an "unhinged, amoral man with a massive ego" after his brazen capture of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro.

In a piece for his news site, "Steady," Rather and his team penned a piece chiding Trump titled, "Fire, Aim, Read," and jabbing the president for not having "concepts of a plan," a reference to Trump's campaign claim admitting he didn't quite have a fleshed out health care plan of his own to replace the Affordable Care At.

CNN anchor Kaitlan Collins hit President Donald Trump on Monday with a devastating montage of his broken promises when it comes to his recent foreign policy moves.

During the opening segment of her show "The Source," Collins played a montage of Trump's recent statements defending his administration's decision to arrest Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and compared them to statements Trump made during his campaigns.

President Donald Trump isn't hiding his true motivations behind his controversial military intervention in Venezuela, despite a mountain of effort by his administration to claim it was merely a limited operation, according to a new analysis in The Atlantic.

Trump seized control of Venezuela, and his own vice president is now cheerleading the intervention despite penning an op-ed in 2023 titled "Trump's Best Foreign Policy? Not Starting Any Wars." Analyst Jonathan Chait on Monday called out the administration for hailing the Venezuelan takeover as "America First" policy.

A prominent legal expert skewered President Donald Trump's move to capture Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro over the weekend, a move that he described as an "inversion of our constitutional order." Even so, he warned there is little chance Trump or anyone involved in the operation will be held accountable.

Over the weekend, U.S. forces arrested Maduro and his wife, Cilia Flores, at the presidential palace and brought them to the U.S. to be prosecuted for narco-terrorism and weapons crimes. Maduro and Flores pleaded "not guilty" to the charges on Monday. They are being represented by Barry Pollack, a partner at the boutique law firm Harris St. Laurent & Weschler LLP in New York, who previously represented Julian Assange.

Political analysts and observers were left aghast after one of President Donald Trump's top advisors had a "bellicose" interview on CNN.

Stephen Miller, White House deputy chief of staff for policy, discussed the administration's recent actions to arrest Venezuelan dictator Nicolas Maduro and other foreign policy aims on CNN's "The Lead" with Jake Tapper on Monday. During the interview, Miller said the U.S. would continue its pursuit of occupying Greenland, a sovereign territory of the Kingdom of Denmark. He also would not rule out sending troops to other countries in South and Central America.

A prominent conservative analyst ripped President Donald Trump's administration on Monday for its "dorkiest" attempt to bully one of its political foes.

On Monday, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth announced that the Department of Defense was reducing Sen. Mark Kelly's (D-AZ) retirement pay as punishment for participating in a video with five other Democrats in which they told military personnel to be suspicious of orders from the Trump administration. Trump described Kelly's comments as "seditious" in a Truth Social post.
