A former prosecutor in the Southern District of New York who worked under U.S. Attorney Jeffrey Berman pointed out that former Attorney General Bill Barr has zero knowledge about the investigation or prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein.

Barr appeared before the House Oversight Committee on Monday, where he claimed he didn't hear anything about President Donald Trump being in the Epstein files.

Right-wing conspiracy theorist and staunch Trump ally Laura Loomer took credit Tuesday for a major Trump administration move.

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard announced Tuesday that she revoked security clearances for 37 intelligence professionals who worked on the investigation into President Donald Trump's ties to Russia and provided information to congressional Democrats during Trump's impeachment trials.

Republicans continue to face off against their own voters, who are angry over the passage of the 2026 budget known as the "Big, Beautiful Bill" and Donald Trump's refusal to release the files over the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

Speaking to MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, political analyst and expert John Heilemann had little sympathy for lawmakers facing off against those back home in their congressional districts.

President Donald Trump has put congressional Republicans in a bad spot, according to one analyst.

The Trump administration has tried to outrun the Jeffrey Epstein files story for more than two months. During the campaign, Trump promised to release the files once elected. However, his administration has quickly pivoted and, to date, declined to release any new information about the files, which has nearly fractured Trump's MAGA base.

President Donald Trump and his administration officials have repeatedly suggested, with no basis, that former President Barack Obama committed a crime in pursuing an investigation of Russian interference into the 2016 presidential election — but even Trump has acknowledged that Obama probably can't be charged with anything because of Trump's own Supreme Court case establishing presidents have a presumption of criminal immunity for "official acts" carried out in office.

However, Sen. Eric Schmitt (R-MO) isn't quite willing to concede that just yet, explaining on the right-wing Chris Salcedo Show his own legal theory of how Obama could be prosecuted anyway.

Senators might make an example of one of President Donald Trump's most high-profile nominees, according to an analyst.

Joe Perticone, national political reporter for The Bulwark, reported Tuesday that Nick Adams, the social media personality Trump nominated to be ambassador to Malaysia, has "confounded" senators, with Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) saying Adams' nomination is "over the line."

Shouting erupted at a California Assembly hearing after a Republican member tried to delay the passage of a bill that would allow voters to redistrict the state in response to proposed gerrymandering in Texas.

During the Tuesday hearing on elections, the chair repeatedly cautioned Republican Assemblymember David Tangipa for creating delays by asking witnesses off-topic questions.

President Donald Trump was roasted online Tuesday after he bemoaned that museums only show the negatives of slavery.

Trump attacked "woke" museums for addressing the troubling history of the United States, particularly the kidnapping of people of color from Africa, their forced labor, and the torture and rape they endured.

CNN reporter Kristen Holmes was taken aback by President Donald Trump's angry Truth Social rant against the Smithsonian on Tuesday.

In the new tirade, Trump raged that "The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future."

President Donald Trump ranted on Truth Social that teaching about America's history of slavery is unacceptable.

"The Museums throughout Washington, but all over the Country are, essentially, the last remaining segment of 'WOKE.' The Smithsonian is OUT OF CONTROL, where everything discussed is how horrible our Country is, how bad Slavery was, and how unaccomplished the downtrodden have been — Nothing about Success, nothing about Brightness, nothing about the Future," claimed Trump.

President Donald Trump's administration has been "caught in a lie" about its massive cuts to government agencies, including the IRS, CNN senior reporter Marshall Cohen reported Tuesday.

Cohen cited the release of a report from the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration, which found that probationary IRS employees were terminated "without following internal procedures and considering individual performance."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a Tuesday press briefing that President Donald Trump is putting "tremendous public pressure" on Russia to end its war against Ukraine. Her example was "sanctions on India."

"Look, the president has put tremendous public pressure to bring this war to a close. He's taken actions as you've seen — sanctions on India and other actions as well," Leavitt said in a video posted by journalist Aaron Rupar. "He has made himself very clear that he wants to see this war end. And he has scoffed at the ideas of others that have been raised that we should wait another month before any meeting takes place. The president wants to move, and he wants to bring this war to an end as quickly as possible."

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt admitted Tuesday that crime statistics in Washington, D.C. had recently been "reconfigured" to support President Donald Trump's claims.

During a White House briefing, a reporter asked Leavitt to clarify what Trump meant when he vowed to rid Washington of "slums."
