Jon Stewart criticized conservative outrage over Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show on his show, while Republican Congressman Andy Ogles called for an investigation into the performance, according to Variety and Time. The show, which many fans lauded, drew criticism from conservatives, including former President Donald Trump, who called it "absolutely terrible," according to Time.
The controversy surrounding Bad Bunny's performance stemmed from his political outspokenness, including his condemnation of Immigration and Customs Enforcement at the Grammy Awards the previous week, according to Time. Kid Rock also weighed in, stating he "didn't understand any of it" and faulted the NFL, as reported by Variety.
Meanwhile, in other news, Ghislaine Maxwell's attorneys said she might be willing to speak if President Trump offered her a pardon, according to Time. Maxwell, convicted of sex-trafficking and related charges, pleaded the fifth in a deposition before the House Oversight Committee on Monday. Trump has come under scrutiny over his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, and Maxwell's attorneys believe she could clear his name if granted clemency.
In a separate development, a court decision handed the Trump administration broad authority to lock up millions of immigrants, according to Vox. The decision by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, a court dominated by MAGA Republicans, gave Trump a dangerous new weapon, according to Vox senior correspondent Ian Millhiser.
