The Justice Department released a letter allegedly written by Jeffrey Epstein Monday that it then quickly removed from its website — and its contents, some critics say, “directly implicates" President Donald Trump.

The letter was postmarked “just days after Epstein died” in 2019, according to the progressive media company MeidasTouch. It was addressed to Larry Nassar, the convicted serial sex offender who was sentenced to 60 years in prison for abusing hundreds of children and young women.

Remarks made by President Donald Trump on Monday when asked about the latest release of Jeffrey Epstein files raised eyebrows on MS NOW Tuesday.

On “Morning Joe,” the co-hosts ran a clip of the president, flanked by Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, stating, “They’re asking me questions about Jeffrey Epstein. I thought that was finished.”

Prosecutors considered placing sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in a cell with a Donald Trump superfan who was convicted of mailing pipe bombs to the president's enemies, according to newly released documents.

The Justice Department posted online thousands more files Monday evening related to the government’s case against Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s accomplice in sex trafficking. The Washington Post managed to download the full set before they were taken down without explanation.

President Donald Trump went off on the New York Times once again in an early morning attack Tuesday — this time without even specifying what the newspaper did that set him off.

After being quiet on Truth Social all Monday, just after midnight he warned the Times “must be dealt with” at some future time.

Rep. Joyce Beatty (D-OH) filed a lawsuit Monday seeking to force the removal of President Donald Trump’s name from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, arguing that the move violated federal law and the Constitution.

The lawsuit, filed in D.C. federal court, names Trump and several loyalists he appointed to the Kennedy Center’s board as defendants. Beatty contends that the board’s vote last week to rename the Washington, D.C., cultural institution was illegal because only Congress has the authority to change the center’s name.

The Washington Post's editorial board on Monday bashed what it called President Donald Trump's "biggest broadside yet" against wind power.

On Monday, the Interior Department announced it halted all leases for offshore wind projects. The announcement followed months of attacks by Trump against wind energy. The move was condemned by environmental groups and even some of the president's allies in Congress.

The Trump administration's plan to shut down a key weather research agency in Boulder, Colorado, is running into opposition — from Republicans.

According to NOTUS, "Republican Reps. Jeff Hurd, Jay Obernolte, Brian Fitzpatrick, and Jack Bergman joined Democrats, including Rep. Joe Neguse and Sens. Michael Bennet and John Hickenlooper, in a letter to Congressional appropriators Monday asking them to ensure sustained funding for the Colorado-based National Center for Atmospheric Research. Eighty lawmakers from both the Senate and the House signed the letter."

The Wall Street Journal editorial board weighed in on Monday over the rapidly accelerating collapse of the Heritage Foundation.

A longtime haven for far-right legal scholars and the birthplace of President Donald Trump's Project 2025 agenda, Heritage has been in freefall ever since its president, Kevin Roberts, defended Tucker Carlson's interview with neo-Nazi Nick Fuentes, triggering a mass exodus of scholars who revolted over the organization's flirtation with antisemitism.

President Donald Trump is planning to recall 30 diplomats from posts that are typically left in place following a presidential administration because they are considered "apolitical" and replace them with MAGA loyalists, according to a new report.

The Guardian reported on Monday night that the diplomats would not be fired, but instead would be reassigned to other posts. The report added that the move is part of the Trump administration's goal of uprooting the "deep state."

Colorado-based shoemaker Crocs, Inc. slapped the Trump administration with a $54 million lawsuit, claiming the president overstepped his authority with emergency tariffs that have cost the company hundreds of millions over the last two consecutive quarters.

The footwear giant filed the suit Friday in the U.S. Court of International Trade in New York City, naming U.S. Customs and Border Protection, the U.S. Department of Treasury, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative, the Denver Business Journal reported. Trump administration officials, including Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, were also named in the action seeking $54 million in tariff refunds.
