Center
Senator Dick Durbin (D-IL), ranking member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, says he won't presume the committee will "rubber stamp" Jamie McDonald's nomination for US attorney in Manhattan after President Trump put Jay Clayton's DNI confirmation on hold. Sen. Durbin says Trump "pulled the rug out" from Senate Republican leadership, criticizes Bill Pulte as one of Trump's "most loyal soldiers" and says he is "very concerned" by allegations of corruption in the Trump administration. He speaks with Kailey Leinz and Joe Mathieu on the late edition of Bloomberg's "Balance of Power." (Source: Bloomberg)

The G7 “Bending Itself Around Trump” Shows the U.S. Is Still on Top
It started with Trump walking in and saying, "I'm the boss." When reporters later asked about the warm reception he received from European leaders, he responded, "I think they know I was right," then added, "Now all of a sudden, they all want to be involved." President Donald Trump arrived at the 52nd G7 Summit in Évian-les-Bains, France, on Monday with an Iran ceasefire deal already announced, stayed for the full three days, signed the leaders' declarations, and left declaring the gathering a "Great Success" on Truth Social.

Erin Burnett throws Trump's past Iran claims back in his face: 'Exact same talking points'
CNN host Erin Burnett threw President Donald Trump's previous criticisms of former President Barack Obama's Iran deal back in his face on Wednesday, noting that Trump was now using the same talking points that he rebuked Obama for using. Trump has described Obama's Iran deal, known as the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action (JCPOA), as giving away too much money to the Iranian regime and not preventing the regime from obtaining or developing a nuclear weapon. Burnett noted that those criticisms sound like an apt description of the deal Trump just signed with the regime over the weekend. "Now, after all of Trump's criticism of Obama and the way that Trump talked about that money, he's now using the exact same talking point, the exact same one as Trump's agreement with Iran could unfreeze more than $100 billion in frozen assets, double the amount that the Iranians got under Obama. Double!" Burnett said during the opening segment of her show, "Erin Burnett OutFront." Over the weekend, Trump announced that his administration had agreed to a deal that would immediately reopen the Strait of Hormuz while the administration continues negotiations to end the war with Iran. However, that deal has been sharply criticized for providing Iran with billions of dollars up front in exchange for a promise to negotiate over thornier issues, like the country's nuclear program, at a later date. The deal reminded Burnett of Trump criticizing Obama for dropping "pallets of cash" in Iran. "Can we just pause for a second and remember him talking about the pallets of cash and all of those things, and mocking that very same argument? And now here we are. It is stunning," she said.

Sen. Smith: Bipartisan Doubts on Trump's Iran Deal
Senator Tina Smith (D-MN) says Republicans and Democrats on Capitol Hill are skeptical of President Trump's agreement with Iran, noting that many of her colleagues feel it "doesn't seem" like a good deal. She says for her, the biggest questions remain around the Strait of Hormuz and tolls in the area. When asked about the Fed's signal that rate hikes could be coming this year, she says it's "absolutely the right thing" to be cautious in the face of inflation. She speaks with Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz on the late edition of Bloomberg's "Balance of Power." (Source: Bloomberg)
