A Day of Testimony in Washington: Immigration Enforcement and Accountability
Journalist and author Brian Karem sits in for Mary as to break down a major day of hearings and breaking news out of Washington.
On Capitol Hill, top officials from the Department of Homeland Security faced more than three hours of sharp questioning during a House Oversight hearing on immigration enforcement. Testifying before lawmakers were Todd Lyons, Rodney Scott, and Joseph Edlow. We take a close look at some of the key moments — and lowlights including pointed exchanges from Eric Swalwell, Lou Correa, Dan Goldman and more.
We also turn to the second major hearing of the day, where Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick appeared before a Senate Appropriations subcommittee. What began as a routine appearance quickly veered into questions about Epstein and Lutnick’s previously undisclosed ties to the convicted sex offender. It was a busy, revealing day in Washington and we’re breaking it all down on Mary Trump Live for Tuesday, February 10, 2026.
Brian J. Karem is an American journalist, author, and veteran political analyst known for decades of reporting on national politics and defending press freedoms.
