Legal analyst Lisa Rubin said that her jaw dropped when she heard Secretary of State Marco Rubio response when asked whether the United States has been in touch with El Salvador about the Maryland father wrongfully deported there.

"I'd never tell you that," Rubio said about facilitating the return of Kilmar Ábrego García. "And you know who else? I would never tell a judge, because foreign policy belongs to the president and the executive branch. Not some judge. We'll conduct foreign policy appropriately if we need to, but we won't discuss it, and no one can make us discuss it because that's how foreign policy works."

President Donald Trump held another cabinet meeting Wednesday, and CNN's Mark Preston tried to measure his support for embattled defense secretary Pete Hegseth.
