Political commentator Jess Craven joins Don to unpack the latest developments and what could happen next.

A federal judge has placed limits on the Trump administration's search of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's home, raising serious questions about the Justice Department's aggressive investigation.
According to CNN, federal investigators are examining allegations involving immigration documents and Omar's citizenship history.
But a federal magistrate judge intervened, restricting how investigators could access certain materials because of constitutional protections afforded to members of Congress.
Don breaks down the explosive developments, the investigation targeting Omar, and what this latest confrontation could mean for the Trump administration, congressional protections, and the rule of law.

Donald Trump is making headlines for all the wrong reasons. From promising Americans $5,000 checks and handing out presidential pardons at campaign rallies to making bizarre claims about Social Security, the President's latest appearances are raising serious questions.

And in Charlotte, North Carolina, a disturbing police scandal: Officers are facing possible termination over alleged racist text messages, including reports of a competition to see who could pull over the most Black drivers.

Donald Trump is used to fighting his enemies. But E. Jean Carroll fought back and beat him in court. Twice.
In this powerful conversation, Don speaks with acclaimed filmmaker Ivy Meeropol, director of Ask E. Jean, a new documentary about the woman who took on Donald Trump and won two landmark civil cases.
In 2023, a jury found Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming Carroll, awarding her $5 million. In 2024, another jury ordered him to pay $83.3 million in a separate defamation case. Meeropol takes us behind the headlines to explore Carroll's extraordinary fight for justice, the personal cost of challenging one of the most powerful men in the world, and why her story matters now more than ever.
