Trump News

Political analysts and observers were astounded on Monday night after Vice President JD Vance's interview with Sean Hannity of Fox News.

Vance appeared on Hannity's eponymous show, where he was asked about the ongoing negotiations between the Trump administration and the Iranian regime to end the nearly 17-week-old conflict that has roiled the global economy. Hannity asked Vance if the U.S. would be allowed to inspect Iran's nuclear program going forward, and Vance's answer had some onlookers taken aback.

A foreign policy expert argued on Monday that President Donald Trump's "sham" deal with the Iranian regime reveals the president is really looking to "turn the page" on a war he started without resolving all of the hard problems he's left behind.

Over the weekend, Trump and Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced that the U.S. and Iran had reached an "agreement" that could end their 106-day conflict. The agreement stipulated that the two sides would sign it on Friday, and that tougher discussion about Iran's nuclear weapons program and the Strait of Hormuz would be put off for another day.

A legal expert was taken aback on Monday by reporting that revealed how Trump administration insiders pushed back on an extreme attempt to suspend habeas corpus.

Joyce Vance, a former federal prosecutor, argued in a new Substack essay that new reporting from Jonathan Swan and Maggie Haberman of The New York Times about an administration lawyer named Will Scharf who drafted a confidential memo outlining reasons why suspending habeas corpus would be problematic provides "detailed support for understanding this administration as a threat to democratic ideals."

Political analysts and observers swiftly fact-checked President Donald Trump on Monday after he made a false claim about the recent deal he struck with the Iranian regime that could lead to a future peace agreement.

Trump posted on Truth Social that reports of the U.S. "paying Iran 300 million Dollars is Fake News, put out by the Dumocrats!!!" That statement seemed to conflict with what Trump's vice president, JD Vance, said during an interview with Ed O’Keefe of CBS News on Monday morning that Iran "could have access" to a $300 billion reconstruction fund, if it meets the obligations of the Memorandum of Understanding that the two countries announced over the weekend.

One of the Trump administration officials who went all-in on President Donald Trump's far-fetched scheme of taking over Greenland pitched it as a bizarre way to rescue the Red Lobster restaurants, the New Yorker reported on Monday.

Trump has been obsessed with the idea of the United States buying or possibly annexing Greenland, a territory of the Kingdom of Denmark, ever since his first term. It's an idea that dates back to the 19th century, as Greenland is rich in resources and strategically important for military operations — but neither Greenlanders nor Danes have ever supported handing over the territory.

One of President Donald Trump's former spokespersons said during a CNN interview on Monday that the president's silence after former first lady Michelle Obama was verbally attacked during the "UFC Freedom 250" event on Sunday raises several red flags.

MMA fighter Josh Hokit spoke during a post-fight interview with Joe Rogan and shouted the false claim that "Michelle Obama is a man" to the crowd. The comment elicited mixed reactions, according to reports, and was widely condemned by Republicans and some of the president's allies, like Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy.

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. sparked outrage on Monday after he announced his department was investigating why a peer-reviewed medical journal pulled a study about vaccines leading to sudden infant deaths.

Kennedy posted a letter on his professional X account, arguing that the study was "of great interest to me." Kennedy cited the study in his policy to reduce the federal vaccine schedule for infants from 17 shots to 11. That policy has since been blocked by a federal judge, according to reports.

An economist flagged a gobsmacking detail about the recent deal President Donald Trump's administration struck with the Iranian regime over the weekend that had largely been overlooked.

Henrietta Treyz, director of economic policy at Veda Partners, told CNN's Jake Tapper on "The Lead" that the Trump administration seemed to be hurrying toward a deal with Iran to end the 106-day conflict. On Sunday, the two sides agreed to a deal that would allow the Strait of Hormuz to reopen, which some experts say could provide temporary relief from high energy prices.

President Donald Trump's administration came under fire on Monday after a new report revealed that it railroaded antitrust lawyers into approving a MAGA media deal that some observers said could harm consumers.

The Wall Street Journal reported on Monday that Trump administration lawyers were leaning toward challenging Paramount Skydance's proposed acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, which includes CNN. That was until senior leaders at the Department of Justice closed the investigation last Friday, saying the deal would be "good for competition," according to the report.

President Donald Trump has touted the framework to end his war with Iran as a great deal for the American people, and he and his officials have insisted Iran won't "get a dime" until they follow through on their obligations. But new reporting suggests Iran has already received money under the table.

According to a report from Israel Hayom, a month ago, the Trump administration secretly approved a deal where Qatar transferred cash to Iran in exchange for a promise of safe passage for Qatari ships through the Strait of Hormuz.

President Donald Trump's Justice Department gave the green light last week to a controversial mega-acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery, which includes CNN, by Paramount Skydance, a media giant with a Trump-friendly CEO. But reports suggest they may have rushed the process and ignored the opinions of career officials.

According to the Wall Street Journal, "A team of career lawyers who had spent months scrutinizing the deal was leaning toward recommending a lawsuit challenging it on the grounds that the combination of the two movie studios would be anticompetitive and violate antitrust law, the people said."
