President Donald Trump blamed "bad people" for an unflattering portrait of him that was hung in Colorado's state Capitol building.

After complaining about the portrait on his Truth Social platform, he took to Newsmax to air additional grievances.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth denied that he had shared "war plans" after accidentally texting secret military information to a reporter ahead of a strike on Yemen.

During a rant on an airport tarmac Wednesday, Hegseth suggested he had been acquitted of wrongdoing after The Atlantic described his text messages as "attack plans" instead of "war plans."

Fox News correspondent Jacqui Heinrich grilled White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt after the Trump administration accidentally shared secret war plans with a journalist from The Atlantic.

During Wednesday's White House briefing, Heinrich wondered why Leavitt had insisted that nothing on the leaked chat was classified when it included information like weapons systems and strike launch times.

Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) suggested that Steve Bannon's network, Real America's Voice (RAV), Newsmax, and Fox News could receive federal funding to offset tax dollars provided to PBS and NPR.

During a Wednesday hearing before the Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE) subcommittee, Burchett posed the question about federal funds for conservative outlets.

Rep. Chrissy Houlahan (D-PA) blasted Trump administration intelligence officials after secret military plans were shared with a journalist from The Atlantic.

During a Wednesday House Intelligence Committee hearing, Houlahan revealed that she had planned to ask about foreign threats until news broke about the leaked war plans against Yemen.

Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA) mocked Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's (R-GA) hearing aimed at defunding PBS and NPR.

During a Wednesday hearing on Delivering on Government Efficiency (DOGE), Garcia noted that Republicans were more concerned about agencies for public broadcasting than Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth sharing secret war plans with a reporter.

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo and Rep. James Comer (R-KY) agreed that PBS and NPR should be defunded after a reporter's microphone accidentally brushed President Donald Trump's face.

During a Wednesday segment on Fox Business, Bartiromo told Comer that Trump had called for the public broadcasting agencies to have their funding revoked.

Law professor Alan Dershowitz, a defender of President Donald Trump, insisted Republican attempts to impeach judges ruling against the Trump administration were "not constitutionally permissible" and would eventually fail.

During a Wednesday interview on Real America's Voice, Dershowitz was asked about Trump allies who want to impeach U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg and other members of the judiciary for blocking parts of Trump's agenda.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) threatened to "pound" and "beat" Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-TX) in a presidential race over protests against Elon Musk, the billionaire administrator of President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency.

During a Tuesday interview with Real America's Voice host Eric Bolling, Greene insisted that Crockett owed Musk an apology for participating in protests against his Tesla automobile company.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was trashed online after claiming that no "war plans" were discussed when a journalist for The Atlantic was included in a secret war-planning chat about recent strikes on Yemen.

"Jeffrey Goldberg is well-known for his sensationalist spin," Leavitt wrote Tuesday on X after Goldberg's report in the magazine, which describes war planning he was privy to on a Signal chat with Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and others.

Fox News host Will Cain, a former colleague of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's "Fox & Friends" days, praised Trump administration officials after a journalist from The Atlantic accidentally received secret war plans against Yemen.

"If it was accidental, and we'll wait to see if this was accidental, it is incredibly concerning that this information would be shared over the Signal app with the journalist included," Cain acknowledged on his Monday show. "But the bigger takeaway for me is it's an insight, a transparent insight into the thought process and dialogue of our national leaders."

President Donald Trump lashed out at The Atlantic magazine after top secret war plans were shared with a journalist from the outlet who was somehow added to a Signal chat group of defense officials.

On Monday, Jeffrey Goldberg, the editor-in-chief of The Atlantic, revealed that he had been included in the secret chat group discussing strikes against Yemen earlier this month.

President Donald Trump appeared to forget the name of the second lady of the United States ahead of her visit to Greenland later this week.

At a cabinet meeting on Monday, Trump was asked about Usha Vance's upcoming trip to the Danish territory.
