Husain said it made sense, since the president is the "most powerful man in the world." Carlson scoffed at the description. "I don't think he's the most powerful man in the world," Carlson said. "I have held him directly accountable, it's his fault, he's the U.S. president, he was elected. That's his job, and a huge part of the job is resisting pressure from outside forces."

"The new Air Force One is perfectly safe for the President's travels, but will receive additional upgrades and enhancements in the fall which will take approximately one month to complete," White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt said in a statement to CBS. "During that time, the President will fly on the old Air Force One." Mr. Trump said Sunday that his new Air Force One will be sent off for defensive upgrades after some reports raised questions about its security capabilities.

Iran had pressed the Houthis to close the Bab el-Mandeb gateway to the Red Sea if the U.S. continued to attack Iranian power infrastructure. In their statement, the Houthis' armed forces said they were declaring "a maritime embargo against the criminal Saudi enemy, based on the equation of an eye for an eye', effective immediately..." They said the decision was in response to what they called "an unjust and oppressive siege" imposed on Yemen by the Saudis.

While Trump said in his Thursday speech to the nation that he had ordered the FBI, the CIA, the Department of Justice and the Office of the Director of National Intelligence to investigate what he calls an official cover-up of China's activities, there's so far been no mention of Beijing as a target of that probe or others. DOJ said in a statement that it's "following through on the president's directive," but declined to comment whether its investigation will extend to Chinese election meddling. The FBI, ODNI and CIA did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

On Saturday, the secretary of defense took to X to repost the news of the military personnel killed and injured on Friday. "Godspeed, heroes," Hegseth, 46, declared. "Their sacrifice only stiffens our resolve." In response, Greene, 52, sent a scathing message of her own. "Sacrifice?? What the f"k are you talking about??" she wrote on X. "They did not willingly sacrifice themselves." Greene " who resigned from Congress in January 2026 and announced she was done supporting the Republican Party " continued: "They were killed because of the war you, Trump and the admin, are waging on behalf of a FOREIGN COUNTRY, Israel."

Police said the attack, which took place on Monday at Valley Fair Mall in West Valley City in the state of Utah, appeared to have been motivated by religious hatred. In a court affidavit released on Tuesday, investigators said the suspect "targeted the victim because of the victim's religion" and warned that he posed "a substantial danger to the public if released based on his violent actions, ... ideologies and pre-planned mass casualty events".
