Trump’s mysterious ‘diddling’ threatens to cripple entire industry: GOP lawmaker

A mysterious ploy by President Donald Trump to combat soaring prices of an American kitchen staple may very well cripple an entire industry, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) warned Tuesday during an appearance on Fox Business.

Ground beef prices in the United States have continued to soar amid a severe cattle shortage exacerbated by a recent screwworm infestation that some critics have blamed on the Trump administration for axing screwworm monitoring programs, with some Americans ditching ground beef altogether.

Trump's 'mafia state' move exposed the rotten core of his latest oil deal: expert

President Donald Trump just pulled off what one political expert described as a "mafia state" type of move that revealed the rotten core of a deal he allegedly struck with a foreign country over its oil reserves.

Betancourt was previously under investigation on corruption charges until Trump's former attorney, Rudy Giuliani, persuaded the first Trump Department of Justice to drop its probe.

Ex-Trump lawyer flags 'significant' move John Roberts made against the White House

One of President Donald Trump's former attorneys flagged a "significant position" the Supreme Court took in its most recent ruling to allow the Trump administration to continue building the White House ballroom for now.

Ty Cobb, who served as special counsel in the first Trump administration, told CNN's Erin Burnett on "OutFront" that Chief Justice John Roberts "eviscerated" the Trump administration's position in his blistering dissent. The dissent also showed that Roberts is willing to use his seat as an "impediment to Trump if and when he can, and when the Constitution permits it," Cobb added.
