- TRUMP DEFENDS NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISER MIKE WALTZ AFTER LEAK, SAYS HE’S ‘LEARNED A LESSON’: President Donald Trump defended National Security Adviser Mike Waltz following the accidental inclusion of The Atlantic‘s editor-in-chief in a group chat discussing military plans.

Despite calls for resignations, the administration downplayed the severity of the incident and promised an investigation into the use of the Signal messaging app.
- TRUMP ADMINISTRATION PAUSES SOME GREEN CARD APPLICATIONS IN AGGRESSIVE VETTING PUSH: The Trump administration has halted the processing of certain green card applications, citing concerns over fraud and security threats.
