He could approve its release or block it. Either outcome will sting him.

The bureau's history of abuses shows what could happen if Trump's campaign against it succeeds.

Despite his fear-mongering over crime, the president recently promised to help ex-prisoners "get a second chance at life." Can he deliver?

By approving the release of the Nunes memo, the president undermined his own defense against allegations in the Russia investigation.

A federal court ruled that the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is constitutional, but the case appears headed to the Supreme Court.

As a candidate, he promised to erode the Justice Department’s independence and prosecute his political enemies. Now he's delivering.

The attorney general's recent claims about crime rates don't hold up to scrutiny.

The special counsel wants to interview the president, but that doesn't say much about what the Russia investigation has or hasn't uncovered.

Liberals hope the Russia investigation or a wave midterm election sweeps the president from office. Here's why that probably won't happen.

The administration's new report on international terrorism is full of misleading numbers and glaring omissions.

The president accused two FBI agents of betraying the United States. The Founding Fathers would disagree.

Trump wants to end the Obama-era immigration program, but the courts are resisting him yet again.

Trump is forcing hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants to leave the U.S.—and he can, thanks to Congress.
