CNN anchor Abby Phillip on Wednesday flagged what she described as "the most telling sign" that President Donald Trump's administration is trying to hide something about the strikes it conducted against alleged drug boats.

Phillip opened her nightly show, "NewsNight," with a montage of shifting claims made by administration officials about the boat strikes. She said the comments made by Secretary of State Marco Rubio were the "most telling" because they showed the administration knows it needs to stick to a pre-determined narrative about the event.

FBI insiders revealed on Wednesday that they are being pressured by officials to open an investigation into six Democratic lawmakers who created a video that seemed to make President Donald Trump furious, according to a new report.

Bloomberg Law reported on Wednesday, citing three sources familiar with the matter, that FBI agents in the bureau’s domestic terrorism unit are being pressured by officials in Washington to investigate the Democratic lawmakers who made a video telling military members they do not have to follow illegal orders.

President Donald Trump raged at a governor whom he derided as a "sleazbag" on Wednesday for declining to free one of Trump's allies from prison.

Earlier this week, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis' office directed state prison officials not to comply with a request Trump made for Colorado to relinquish custody of convicted felon Tina Peters. Peters, 70, is serving a nine-year sentence for her role in leaking passwords for Mesa County, Colorado's election system to right-wing actors in regards to Trump's attempt to overturn the 2020 election.

Sen. Chris Murphy (D-CT) tore into President Donald Trump's recent string of pardons for powerful and well-connected criminals and criminal defendants — and suggested there is something much more sinister going on below the surface.

Specifically, he argued to MS NOW's Chris Hayes on Wednesday, there is a whole lobbying network at play that has set up a cash-for-pardons pipeline to the White House.

Political analysts and observers bashed Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday after he claimed an Inspector General report on his conduct during Signalgate exonerated him.

Hegseth's tenure as Defense Secretary has been embroiled in scandal since it began. One of the most egregious scandals occurred in April when Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor of The Atlantic, was mistakenly added to a group chat on the encrypted messaging platform Signal, where multiple Trump officials discussed a bombing campaign against Houthi rebels in Yemen. The instance became known as Signalgate.

President Donald Trump has issued a full pardon to Tim Leiweke, a media executive who co-founded the Oak View Group, according to CNN on Wednesday.

The move is notable as, unlike many other controversial Trump clemencies for rich and well-connected people, this pardon is for a charge brought by his own Justice Department earlier this year.

Rep. Nancy Mace (R-SC) delivered a one-word response to a report that she is mulling whether to resign from Congress as she runs for governor in South Carolina.

The New York Times reported on Wednesday that Mace was considering resigning from her seat over how GOP leadership treats women. Mace has publicly broken with President Donald Trump and the GOP over their handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. She has also told people close to her that she is planning to reach out to Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) about retiring early, according to the report.

A conservative columnist on Wednesday slammed President Donald Trump's economy during an interview on Fox News.

Byron York, a columnist for The Washington Examiner, discussed Trump's economy during an interview on "The Ingraham Angle" with host Laura Ingraham. He noted that the economy is one area where the Republican Party is not addressing a lot of people's concerns, and that could be bad news for the party in the midterms.
