President Donald Trump signaled he’s in no hurry to make a deal with Iran and rejected Tehran’s latest proposal, as the U.S. military facilitates the transit of more oil through the Strait of Hormuz. The Islamic Republic had reportedly offered a seven-day ceasefire, during which it would fully reopen the strait and resume nuclear talks. In return, the U.S. would lift its naval blockade, unfreeze Iranian assets, and end sanctions on its oil exports. “They want to make a deal and I think that’s fine,” Trump told reporters outside the White House on Saturday, saying Iran is “losing so badly.”...

WASHINGTON — The Kennedy Center’s board moved Thursday to rename the area around the iconic performing arts center the “President Donald J. Trump Plaza” and to add Trump’s name back onto the building’s facade — after a federal judge ordered its removal. Trump’s allies on the board pushed through the changes during a meeting that lasted more than two hours, after Democrats including Rhode Island Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse and Ohio Rep. Joyce Beatty objected to Trump’s plans to renovate and rebrand the aging facility. Trump, who chairs the board, participated virtually in part of the meeting and pushed back on...

Second Amendment advocates scored a significant legal victory Thursday after the Justice Department declined to immediately appeal a federal court ruling that struck down longstanding federal permitting requirements for suppressors and short-barreled firearms. U.S. District Judge James Wesley Hendrix of Texas ruled that key provisions of the National Firearms Act could no longer be justified under Congress' taxing authority after Republicans eliminated the law's $200 tax on suppressors and short-barreled rifles last year. The Trump administration allowed Hendrix's order to take effect after midnight Thursday instead of seeking an immediate stay or filing an appeal. The decision marks a major...

Rep. Andrew Clyde House Republicans @Rep_Clyde 🚨 BREAKING: I’ve received confirmation from the Trump Administration that the DOJ will NOT appeal our historic court victory against the NFA. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT TRUMP and Attorney General Blanche, for delivering the most significant Second Amendment win in OVER 90 YEARS!

Tensions are boiling inside the Department of Justice regarding President Donald Trump's appointment of an inexperienced prosecutor to handle explosive cases against his political enemies – including James Comey and Letitia James. Interim U.S. Attorney Lindsey Halligan for the Eastern District of Virginia forged ahead with convening a grand jury against former FBI Director James Comey, despite having little to no support from Attorney General Pam Bondi's team. Other reports suggest that the DOJ didn't want to go after Comey yet because they were more focused on landing charges for disgraced former Trump National Security Advisor John Bolton, whose home...

Donald Trump has signed an executive order to rename the Department of Defense as the Department of War.

WASHINGTON (TNND) — President Donald Trump is planning an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) cage match that will reportedly take plan on the White House lawn.

The victims of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking operation told NBC News’ Hallie Jackson Wednesday that they had no knowledge of President Donald Trump doing anything inappropriate in relation to the deceased pedophile’s operation. Speculations surrounding Trump’s relationship with Epstein have drawn attention on Capitol Hill and the press following the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) conclusion that Epstein had not possessed a client list and its decision to not publicly release all of the documents relating to the sex offender’s criminal case. The victims told Jackson on “NBC News Now” that they had not heard or seen Trump do...

The FBI recently raided the home of John Bolton, Donald Trump’s former national security adviser-turned-outspoken Trump critic, seizing documents allegedly tied to classified material. From Bolton’s role in the Trump administration to prior warnings from a federal judge about his handling of sensitive information and why the DOJ under Biden dropped its earlier investigation, Victor Davis Hanson unpacks the full backstory behind the raid on today’s episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.”

It was one of those. It was either in Nantucket or the Vineyard, and invited Epstein to go, and I believe that’s when he met Prince Andrew’.” This mention of Lady Rothschild is not in the least surprising, since we’ve known for some time that she was also the one who introduced Epstein to lawyer Alan Dershowitz:

Before she allegedly took her own life exactly four months ago today on April 24th, Virginia Roberts Giuffre was the most famous of all Jeffrey Epstein victims. She was a woman that fought in the justice system, and got the trifecta of financial reparations: from Epstein, from Ghislaine Maxwell, from Prince Andrew. Giuffre knew where the bodies were buried – and now, from beyond the grave, she will have the last word.

Amid all the other things that have rattled the deep state -- notably the search and seizure of evidence from Trump-hating John Bolton's residence and office -- President Trump has quietly shut down the 'five eyes' intelligence arrangement between the English-speaking countries -- the U.S., the U.K., Canada, Australia, and New Zealand, rocking the deep-state's overseas allies, too. The comity is over. Which makes sense, given that these countries are now electing leftists, not moving in tandem with the U.S. on the policy front. It was one thing for Ronald Reagan and Margaret Thatcher to pool intelligence about a common...

Hey Republicans, it’s time to get out the shovels and dig a very deep hole. Then bury forever the stench and false innuendo coming from the Jeffrey Epstein case. Especially now that the dead monster’s cohort, Ghislaine Maxwell, has told the Justice Department that she never once saw President Trump “acting inappropriately in any way” and that he “was never inappropriate with anybody” despite a long association with Epstein. Those should be the final words of the sordid saga and give the GOP the confidence to stop runnin’ scared on the subject and drop its foolish obsession with the case....

Maxwell said she never saw President Donald Trump or former President Bill Clinton receive massages or act inappropriately.The Department of Justice released transcripts and audio recordings from its interview with Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, in which she said the convicted sex offender did not keep a client list.TODD BLANCHE: So there's been a lot of conversations about whether Mr. Epstein maintained, like, a list of people, like a book of famous people that he knew. Like a, it's called a black book or a client list or a list.Did you know of the existence of any such list?GHISLAINE MAXWELL:...

The late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s convicted accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, told Justice Department officials last month that President Trump was “never inappropriate with anybody” in the time the disgraced financier and future commander in chief were friends.

In the interest of transparency, @TheJusticeDept is releasing the complete transcript and audio of my proffer of Ms. Maxwell. The transcript and audio are linked below. https://www.justice.gov/maxwell-interview
