President Donald Trump erupted in a profane outburst at the G7 Summit in France when asked to compare his Iran agreement with former President Barack Obama's Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, or JCPOA.

While sitting beside Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, Trump claimed Obama bribed Iran with $1.7 billion in cash flown on a Boeing 757, falsely stating Iranians mocked Obama. He asserted his deal was superior, though he has refused to disclose its details publicly.

President Donald Trump's administration admitted to Congress that Iran was still directly involved in financing terrorist activity, at exactly the same time the president was planning to give them money, Punchbowl News reported on Wednesday.

According to the report, the State Department "told Congress that Iran’s oil exports are a primary revenue source for the regime’s funding of terrorist activities — just hours after the United States and Iran electronically signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) to lift oil sanctions."

Elections attorney Marc Elias laid bare on MS NOW's "The Weeknight" the chilling reason why President Donald Trump is so desperate to put far-right partisan loyalist Bill Pulte in charge of the Office of the Director of National Intelligence. Specifically, he argued, it's all a bid to seize control of elections — something some other legal experts have also speculated.

This comes after Trump blew up today's planned hearing for the nomination of Jay Clayton to serve as DNI on a permanent basis, which was interpreted by both parties to mean he wants Pulte in charge at least for a temporary period.

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.

Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) won Georgia's Republican Senate primary Tuesday night with President Donald Trump's backing, defeating former football coach Derek Dooley (R-GA).

Collins now faces Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) in what experts predict will be one of the country's most contentious Senate races.

The widow of a flight test engineer killed in Monday's B-52 bomber crash at Edwards Air Force Base says her husband knew the aircraft was having problems in the days before the deadly flight.

Monday’s deadly plane crash in California killed all eight of its passengers, including Defense Department contractor Jeromy Smith, who flagged the B-52’s technical difficulties days prior, according to KTLA.

Conservative former Naval War College professor and writer for The Atlantic, Tom Nichols, had a blunt assessment of President Donald Trump's pie-in-the-sky dreams for the Iran war, as the president goes all in on a deal to end it that makes Iran considerably stronger than before everything started and left many of his own supporters furious.

MS NOW's Melissa Murray showed him a clip of Trump justifying the deal on the world stage, saying, "The alternative would be a worldwide depression. We run out of reserves in about four weeks. You know, there are reserves all over the world. And we would really run out. And there would be a time when you couldn't get it. And you would've seen bedlam."

President Donald Trump floored onlookers on Wednesday after he dismissed a reporter's question about the bombing strike on an Iranian girls' school more than three months ago that left about 175 people dead, many of whom were children.

Trump was asked during a press conference at the G7 Summit in Evian-les-Bains, France, whether he would hold anyone in his administration accountable for the strike. Trump's ambivalent reply left some political analysts and observers stunned.

Former Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff Miles Taylor warned President Donald Trump's preference for authoritarian leaders over democratic allies has evolved from a personal quirk into consequential national policy.

In his op-ed for The i Paper, Taylor traced the pattern to Trump's 2018 G7 disruption in Canada — where he arrived late, lectured allies, disavowed a joint communiqué, and called for Russia's reinstatement — and argued Trump's mood swings have upended the world order.
