New York Times White House correspondent Jonathan Swan, who co-wrote the best-selling book Regime Change with colleague Maggie Haberman, told CNN Friday that none of President Donald Trump’s top advisers have a “clear idea” on how to end the war with Iran. During Trump’s Thursday night primetime address on his election security claims, the president only briefly mentioned the war while talking about how he rebuilt the military. “I built it during my first term and, unfortunately, we’re forced to use it now,” Trump said. “We won in Venezuela, which is now working with us to produce millions and millions of barrels of oil. We are likewise winning big in Iran, and you will see the fruits of that labor very, very shortly. America is back and doing really well.” CNN’s Wolf Blitzer said to Swan, “In his address last night, he spoke about the war with Iran for less than 30 seconds, even though he spoke for nearly a half an hour, mostly on election interference and all of that. What do you think?” “Well, it’s very clear he wants to get out of this war,” Swan said. “It did not turn out the way he thought it would, which was a quick collapse of the Iranian regime. He’s been looking for a way to get out, and we’ve had these endless cycles of a deal is imminent. A deal happens. There’s dispute over the deal. Bombing resumes and and rinse, repeat, rinse repeat, rinse repeat. I’ve spoken to a number of his advisors, and no one seems to have a clear idea of the way out of this war.” The New York Times reported Friday that the U.S. “appeared to expand its attacks” against Iran late Thursday, “with Iranian state media reporting that strikes had hit two bridges in the coastal town of Bandar Khamir, as well as a railway junction about six miles west of Bandar Abbas, a port city near the strait.” The report added, “There was no immediate comment from the U.S. military.”The post Jonathan Swan Says None of Trump’s Top Advisers Have a ‘Clear Idea’ How to End Iran War first appeared on Mediaite.

Gavin Newsom’s (D) wife was briefly left speechless when asked about the US Department of Justice probe into her and her husband’s finances. In her first interview on the DOJ probe, Jennifer Siebel Newsom told MS NOW’s Stephanie Ruhle on Money, Power, Politics with Stephanie Ruhle, that the investigation is a “fishing expedition.” “I mean, this is typical Trump fashion. Go after your enemies. And so you’d have to ask the DOJ,” she said, before plugging her latest documentary. But Siebel Newsom wasn’t as smooth when asked about reports that the DOJ investigation began under former President Joe Biden’s administration. There was about six seconds of silence as Siebel Newsom simply blinked several times, before responding: STEPHANIE RUHLE: The Trump administration has been using the Department of Justice. It’s no surprise to launch investigations and prosecutions of people that the president sees as his political opponents. But is it true that this investigation started during the Biden administration? JENNIFER SIEBEL NEWSOM: You know, I don’t know the details. I do know that, you know, Trump was coming after my husband when back when Biden was, was president and Biden was running for the presidency. And I thought it was ironic. So, look, I this is, this is a fishing expedition. And I think what you’re saying is that it’s just been going on for a long time. My husband is Trump’s most outspoken critic, and he’s the GOP’s biggest you know, I don’t know. They’ve always targeted my husband. And whether it’s the GOP themselves or, you know, their media empire with Rupert Murdoch and the like, we’re just, you know, kind of sitting ducks in that regard because they think that my husband’s aspiring for the presidency and they want to silence him, and therefore they go after his wife and those close to him. Federal prosecutors in Sacramento opened a probe of former Gavin Newsom aide Dana Williamson last year, under the Biden administration, but the governor was not implicated in that investigation. Williamson pleaded guilty to fraud and other charges in May. Watch above via MS NOW.

- JUST IN: Mullin Threatens ‘Prison Time’ For State Officials Not Cooperating ...Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin threatened “prison time” for state election officials who refuse to cooperate with the Trump administration’s “SAVE program” to secure elections. SAVE stands for “Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements” and is part of the SAVE America Act that President Donald Trump has pressured Republicans to pass, even though Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has said he does not have enough support to pass it. Mullin reiterated during a press conference Friday President Donald Trump’s claims about election vulnerabilities made during Thursday night’s primetime address to the nation. “President Trump drew selectively from documents his aides published online to insinuate that U.S. elections have been compromised for years and that government officials had suppressed the evidence,” wrote The New York Times. A reporter from the conservative Daily Caller asked Mullin, “Can you ensure that the midterm elections will be secure?” “First of all, great question, thank you,” Mullin began. “When we start talking about can we can we ensure that the that the midterm elections are going to be secure? Yes, we absolutely can build confidence in the American people, but the states have to do their part.” Mullin continued: I will tell you, if the states that choose not to participate with the SAVE program and they choose not to participate in securing the elections, we will make sure that we make those states a priority to look at who voted in their states and hold them, the election officials, accountable. If the election officials, once we gave them the information they need to secure their elections and they chose not to, then those individuals can also be held accountable by fines, by penalties, and even, depending on how far it goes, prison time. The White House published their stance on “election integrity,” including Trump’s dubious claims, on a web page posted on Friday.

- Fox’s Peter Doocy Reports on Trump’s ‘Next Step’ In Iran Following Situa...Fox News chief White House correspondent Peter Doocy joined anchor John Roberts on Friday and detailed a recent Trump admin meeting on the possible next steps the U.S. military may take against Iran. “To the White House, and correspondent Peter Doocy — he’s on the North Lawn. Good morning, Peter,” Roberts began. “And John, we are finally seeing in real time what President Trump was briefed about in the Situation Room a couple days ago, when he had the national security team there to try to figure out next steps to deal with the Iranians. The next step here is bombing bridges and roads, hoping to isolate the IRGC from resupplying the key to the Strait of Hormuz: Bandar Abbas,” Doocy reported before playing a quick clip of Trump this week, saying: We are likewise winning big in Iran, and you will see the fruits of that labor very, very shortly. “And it’s true that the Iranians have had their hands full with American attacks, so they are now trying to enlist one of their terror group proxies, the Houthis, to shut down a pinch point of the Red Sea called the Bab el-Mandeb Strait. Experts say even a few small attacks can be severely disruptive to global shipping, and activating a terror group represents another way the Iranians are violating that memorandum of understanding,” Doocy continued. After a short clip from White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, Doocy concluded: And when you look at the decisions the Iranians are making — they had the opportunity to unfreeze accounts and lose sanctions if they just left things alone in the Strait of Hormuz. They decided that it was not worth it to them. Controlling the Strait of Hormuz is basically priceless, and that is why they are now trying to get one of their terror proxies to control another strait, John. “In terms of being priceless, they are discovering now just how expensive it is to try to close the Strait of Hormuz. Peter Doocy for us at 1600 Pennsylvania. Peter, thank you,” Roberts added, ending the report.

- Trump Rages About ‘Deranged’ Reflecting Pool ‘Vandals’ in Wake of Bonker...
(AP Photo/Andrew Harnik) President Donald Trump raged about D.C. reflecting pool “vandals” on Truth Social Friday morning in the wake of an explosive response to his bonkers election speech. “The Reflecting Pool, so badly damaged by Deranged Vandals, has been emptied as the massive slash gets repaired,” Trump wrote. “We got it through the great July Fourth Weekend. What kind of animals would do such a thing? We are looking for a Vandal Proof material, but such a thing should not have been necessary. The Scum in Court will hopefully be prosecuted to the MAX. President DJT” The Washington Post reported no evidence of a “massive slash” this week, instead finding seven places where the lining peeled away along the seams. Experts told WaPo that the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool’s lining likely peeled away because the material was installed incorrectly. Regardless, Trump’s post was a head-scratcher after the furious backlash caused by his election fraud claims in Thursday night’s prime-time address.The post Trump Rages About ‘Deranged’ Reflecting Pool ‘Vandals’ in Wake of Bonkers Election Speech first appeared on Mediaite.
