President Trump on Sunday went off on NBC's Kristen Welker, defending January 6 Patriots against her vicious smears and eventually storming off the set. Welker repeatedly attacked the President over his $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund, which was created in exchange for Trump dropping more than $10 billion in legal action against the federal government for leaking his tax returns and weaponizing the justice system against him. The fund was recently scrapped in a backroom deal with Senate Republicans in exchange for ICE and Border Patrol funding. The post WATCH: “Look at the Tapes!

The United States was issued a dire threat Sunday after a wave of Israeli airstrikes pounded Lebanon’s largest city earlier the same morning with supposed backing from the Trump administration, threats that may materialize as major attacks on U.S. bases and assets in the Middle East.As Washington and Tehran continue to negotiate terms to end the ongoing Iran war, a key sticking point has been Israel’s bombardment of Lebanon, which since early March has killed more than 3,400 Lebanese and injured over 10,200. Iran has demanded that Israel halt its bombardment as a condition to end hostilities.And yet, despite multiple attempts by Trump to force Israel’s hand and end its bombardment of its northern neighbor, Israel has defied the president, and has since expanded its military siege of Lebanon, including with the reported use of white phosphorus bombs, which is a potential war crime.“The naval blockade against the Iranian nation and today's U.S. green light to the Zionist regime turn American and regime bases and assets in the region into legitimate targets,” said Iranian Parliament Speaker Mohammad-Bagher Ghalibaf on Sunday, according to Axios reporter Barak Ravid. “Our armed forces are ready as always.”Last week, Trump admitted to hurling expletives at Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in a phone call over Israel’s refusal to halt its bombardment of Lebanon, telling The New York Post he was “a little bit perturbed” at Israel’s defiance.🚨Iranian speaker of parliament and chief negotiator Ghalibaf: "The naval blockade against the Iranian nation and today's U.S. green light to the Zionist regime turn American and regime bases and assets in the region into legitimate targets.

Israel struck Beirut's southern suburbs Sunday in retaliation to a Hezbollah missile attack on northern Israel, Israeli officials said.Why it matters: Iran threatened last week to launch a missile attack against Israel if it attacks Beirut. Such a move could unravel U.S.–Iran negotiations and reignite the war.Israel notified the Trump administration before the strike, a U.S. official and two other sources with knowledge tell Axios.Driving the news: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the strike answered Hezbollah missiles fired at northern Israel earlier Sunday, which the Israeli military says it intercepted.Israeli officials said the Beirut strike targeted a Hezbollah command center in Dahieh — a Shia district known as a Hezbollah stronghold. At least two people were killed and a dozen wounded, according to Lebanon's state news agency. Threat level: A senior Iranian lawmaker publicly threatened retaliation.Ebrahim Rezaei, a member of the Iranian parliament's national security committee, wrote on X that Iran "will give a decisive and painful response to the Zionist regime's attack on Dahieh."He told followers to "watch the skies" over Israel tonight.Behind the scenes: The Israelis told the Trump administration that Hezbollah's continued attacks on northern Israel violate a ceasefire, giving Israel the right to hit Beirut, the sources told Axios.The Israelis made clear they will continue hitting the Beirut every time Hezbollah launches attacks against northern Israel.The White House and the State Department didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Catch up quick: On Monday, President Trump put the brakes on Israel's plan to launch massive strikes on Beirut in response to Hezbollah's drone and missile strikes.Trump lashed out at Netanyahu in an expletive-laden call.After the call, Trump announced a partial ceasefire that included an Israeli commitment not to attack Beirut in return for Hezbollah stopping attacks on Israeli border towns.On Wednesday, Israel and Lebanon agreed to a full ceasefire, contingent on Hezbollah halting attacks and withdrawing its operatives from the area south of the Litani River in Lebanon.Hezbollah rejected the terms Thursday. Without Hezbollah's agreement, the ceasefire stayed "on paper."
Scott Pelley, the veteran broadcast journalist who was controversially fired by CBS News last week, revealed new “jaw-dropping” details Sunday about his last meetings before his ousting, one that included, he claimed, false accusations of physical abuse.CBS Executive Producer Nick Bilton – who was hand-picked by CBS News Editor-in-Chief Bari Weiss and reportedly vetted by David Ellison, a strong ally to President Donald Trump whose company owns CBS – met with Pelley and proceeded to do “something absolutely jaw-dropping,” Pelley told The New York Times in its report Sunday.“He pulls out his phone and begins reading a statement off his phone in a room full of 50 heartbroken people,” Pelley recalled Bilton doing, explaining the reasoning behind the mass purge of staff for the network’s “60 Minutes” program. “The callousness, the tone deafness of that, you could hear the groan in the room. They put out a big spread of bagels like we were all going to feel better.”In a follow-up meeting immediately preceding Pelley’s firing, Tom Cibrowski – president and executive editor of CBS News since last year – leveled a shocking allegation against Pelley, who had been with CBS News for nearly four decades.“Tom accuses me of physically abusing Nick Bilton. This is a lie,” Pelley told the Times. “I didn’t come within 10 feet of Nick Bilton. In my life, I have never put my hands on anyone in anger. And when he was caught in that lie, he said, ‘well, OK, I take that back.’ And I said, ‘great.’”Pelley continued: “So I’m thinking that the meeting’s going to carry on. We’re going to have a long conversation. Very quickly after the meeting began, Tom Cibrowski said, this conversation is over. I was stunned. I didn’t have a 60-minute stopwatch in that room. I don’t know how long it lasted really, but I think it was about 10 minutes.”Pelley said that he left the CBS News office out of frustration, and later the same night, he received an email informing him of his termination “for cause.”
The promised end of President Trump’s “anti-weaponization” fund won’t necessarily stop the Department of Justice (DOJ) from making payouts to those who argue they’ve been wronged by the government and who are instead eyeing new pathways to access federal money. After acting Attorney General Todd Blanche said the controversial fund would “not be moving forward,” Sen. Lindsey…
