Donald Trump abruptly kicked the press out of the Oval Office during a bizarre Saturday appearance with Joe Rogan—right as reporters began asking tough questions about Iran. This comes as Iran announced it is fully closing the Strait of Hormuz again, turning ships back and even firing on some vessels that refused orders to retreat. Iran is also rejecting Trump’s claims about negotiations, calling them “false,” and warning it’s prepared to resume war if its terms aren’t met.

Statement on Claims of Food Shortages aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln and USS Tripoli: Recent reports alleging food shortages and poor quality aboard our deployed ships are false.

The Atlantic published a "bombshell" on Director Patel tonight that every real DC reporter chased, couldn't verify, and passed on. Here's reality. Since being sworn in, Director Patel has taken a grand total of 17 days off — half as much time off as Comey and Wray — and he spends twice as much time in the office as either of them ever did. The so-called "intoxication incidents" The Atlantic breathlessly reports have happened exactly ZERO times. Under his tenure: 67,000 arrests nationwide. Violent crime arrests up 112%. Murder rate down 20%. 1,800 criminal gangs dismantled. 2,200+ kilos of fentanyl seized — enough to kill 178 million Americans. 300 human traffickers arrested. 6,200+ missing children recovered. 1,700 online predators arrested — a 490% increase. 8 of the Top Ten Most Wanted captured, double the previous four years combined. 1,000+ agents redeployed from DC bureaucracy back to field offices chasing criminals. The Atlantic's "reporting"? Fabricated stories about "breaching equipment" that was never requested. Intoxication claims with not a single witness willing to put their name on one. A paragraph — I'm not kidding — about the FBI Store not carrying "intimidating enough" merchandise. Every serious DC reporter passed on this. Sarah Fitzpatrick and Jeffrey Goldberg printed it anyway. Lawsuit is being filed.
