Speaking publicly for the first time, members of the targeted unit offered CBS News a detailed account of the attack and its harrowing aftermath from the perspective of those on the ground. The members CBS News spoke to disputed the description of events from Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who described the drone as a "squirter" " in that it squirted through the defenses of a fortified unit inside Kuwait.

Haitian man Rolbert Joachin " who the US Department of Homeland Security said was granted a protected visa under the Biden administration in 2022 " has been charged with first-degree murder after allegedly beating a mother with a hammer outside a gas station in Fort Myers on April 3. The president described the brutal attack as "one of the most vicious things you will ever see" as he shared unblurred CCTV of the incident on Truth Social.

Speaking at a press conference in Hungary's capital, Budapest, on Wednesday, Vance said he would help the incumbent prime minister in his election campaign and praised Orbn ahead of the April 12 poll. According to Polymarket, Orbn has odds of 28 percent of winning the upcoming election, down from 35 percent on April 5. According to betting platform Kalshi, the incumbent prime minister has a 30 percent chance of victory. On April 5, he was said to have a 33.3 percent chance of winning the vote, so his odds have dropped by some three percentage points in five days.

Blaze founder Glenn Beck declared it would be "the biggest scandal of my lifetime, maybe in the last hundred years." Republican members of Congress like Anna Paulina Luna and Thomas Massie championed the story, saying it was proof the deep state was behind January 6th. The story quickly fizzled. And instead of receiving a Pulitzer, the Blaze was forced to backtrack. It retracted its story on December 4. As for Baker, he was fired on Wednesday morning, as the publication faces the possibility of a massive libel judgment over the story.

Iranian media reported on Tuesday that heavy damage was inflicted on a Tehran synagogue in an overnight airstrike targeting an Iranian military leader. "Reports were received that a nearby synagogue was also damaged in the strike. The IDF regrets the collateral damage to the synagogue and emphasizes that the strike was directed at a senior military target within the regime's armed forces," the IDF said in a statement about the strike. The strike is still reportedly under review and the IDF said it took measures to avoid civilian casualties. Video verified by the News Corp-owned Storyful showed a Jewish leader walking amongst the rubble of the synagogue.
