House Oversight Chair James Comer on Tuesday wrote a blistering letter to the lawyers of Leon Black threatening to hold the billionaire Apollo Global Management founder in contempt of Congress. The threat comes after Black, who paid the late convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein tens of millions of dollars, refused to answer the panel’s questions about possible nondisclosure agreements he had signed with women tied to Epstein. Black has since produced one NDA after being subpoenaed by the Oversight Committee. Comer, in his Tuesday letter, said that was insufficient and demanded more of the documents while floating the contempt vote…

The US president’s clash with Seoul is part of a wider effort to reevaluate alliances and test what American protection is worth Only hours before the annual US-South Korean military exercise Ulchi Freedom Shield was due to begin, Donald Trump issued a statement that went far beyond another dispute over how much America’s allies should pay for their own security.On August 16, 2026, the US president announced that he had instructed the Pentagon to substantially reduce joint military exercises with the Republic of Korea, describing them as costly and arguing that such demonstrations of force were sending North Korea an…

Chinese state-run shipping companies COSCO and CMES have reportedly stopped trying to send their oil tankers through the Strait of Hormuz, which is menaced by Iranian terrorism, and the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, which is under threat from Iran’s Houthi terrorist proxies in Yemen.

The Supreme Court denied a request from President Donald Trump to reconsider his appeal of writer E. Jean Carroll’s $5 million lawsuit on Monday. The order on Monday comes after the Supreme Court declined to take up the president’s argument in June, per the Hill: The new, one-sentence order denies it again without comment or any noted dissents. Rehearings at the Supreme Court are virtually never allowed. Court rules prescribe that they’re only permitted when substantial, “intervening circumstances” take place. The Supreme Court in June declined to take Trump’s appeal regarding Carroll’s first defamation lawsuit against him, for which she…

Monday on MS NOW’s “All In,” Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) said President Donald Trump “is the real scofflaw vandal” in Washington D.C.. Raskin said, “Look, if Donald Trump can take a bulldozer to the East Wing of the White House, the next president could take a bulldozer to the West Wing of the White House. They could just burn the whole thing down if it’s up to the president. Look how ridiculous that is. That is not the law.
