Jake Tapper offered a robust defense of CNN and his colleagues — including Kaitlan Collins — following a verbal attack from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt and state department official Dylan Johnson. They’re just showing the world what Iran looks like.”Tapper particularly took umbrage with the Trump administration’s response to the on-the-ground-reporting. “But the Trump administration apparently finds they’re reporting something to be attacked,” Tapper added. This week at the White House College Sports Roundtable, Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy attempted to ask Trump about Russia’s involvement in a possible retaliation from Iran. “It sounds like the Russians are helping Iran target and attack Americans now,” Doocy started before Trump cut him off.

China warns ‘flames of war’ spreading and calls on US to help manage differences ahead of Xi-Trump meeting
Adding a new layer of complication to the impending talks is now a rapidly escalating war in the Middle East. More than a week after the US and Israel launched strikes on Iran, the war has shown no signs of abating. Trump said on Friday that there would be no deal with Iran except “unconditional surrender,” without elaborating on specific demands. He said the two nations’ leaders have set an example in helping the bilateral relationship achieve overall stability despite turbulence.

Key 2020 election denier is still working to prove it was stolen — now from inside the White House
Five years later, he’s back on familiar ground — in Trump’s ear and focused on Fulton County. Olsen has access to Trump through his role and calls the president directly, sources familiar with internal White House deliberations tell CNN. “He’s just kind of doing his own thing,” one White House official told CNN. While White House officials say Trump could pursue an executive order related to voter ID if Congress does not pass the SAVE Act, there’s no indication yet that the White House is considering declaring a national emergency. “In my opinion, Texas AG Paxton had the courage to step forward when he recognized that something was seriously wrong with the election,” Olsen testified.
