A Louisiana sheriff is pulling no punches after he caught a private investigator who works for U.S. Sen. David Vitter's (R-LA) gubernatorial campaign recording his breakfast meeting in a coffee shop last week.

The Christian family behind the arts and crafts chain Hobby Lobby has been under federal investigation for years on suspicion of trying to import potentially illicit cultural artifacts from Iraq, The Daily Beast reported late Monday.

U.S. Sen. David Vitter (R-LA) in an interview published Monday accused the sheriff of Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, of arresting the senator's private investigator in order to embarrass him the day before the election.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump took a victory lap Sunday on Twitter, claiming that his fiery stump speeches convinced Ford Motor Company to move one of its plants from Mexico to the U.S.

But Ford burst that bubble in a statement Monday.

Former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-TX) said Friday that Congress should impeach President Barack Obama if he uses executive action to expand background checks to more gun purchases.

Gun owners feared President Barack Obama would use the "Jade Helm 15" military training exercise as cover for confiscating Americans' firearms and implementing martial law this summer. The exercise ended in September to little fanfare and without any guns having been confiscated.

But the underlying fear that Obama—and, now, Democratic presidential frontrunner Hillary Clinton—plans to confiscate Americans' guns hasn't gone away with the change in seasons. It's merely morphed and burst out into the mainstream after yet another mass shooting earlier this month at a community college in Oregon.

Democratic members of the House Select Committee on Benghazi announced Friday that they would continue to participate on the "partisan" panel after Hillary Clinton's marathon testimony.

Real estate mogul Donald Trump on Friday announced that he asked super PACs supporting his presidential bid to return all the funds they've raised—and challenged all other presidential candidates to demand the same.

House Select Committee on Benghazi Chair Trey Gowdy (R-SC), under siege from both Democrats and Republicans who've suggested the panel is pursuing a partisan investigation into Hillary Clinton, promised that new information would come out of the panel Thursday during the former secretary of state's high-profile testimony.

Yet the panel seemed to spend quite some time rehashing an old, debunked conservative conspiracy theory that Clinton deliberately blamed the attacks on a spontaneous protest in reaction to an anti-Muslim video before acknowledging that they were an act of terrorism.

Rep. Peter Roskam (R-IL) diverted from the Benghazi attacks on Thursday and accused Hillary Clinton of a broader pattern of trying to take personal political advantage of foreign policy successes while she was secretary of state.

Roskam went so far as to mockingly call it the "Clinton doctrine" in a biting exchange during Clinton's high-profile testimony before a select committee on the attacks.
