The 79-year-old president's attendance necessitated enhanced security throughout New York City, and ticket holders waited in line for hours to get inside Madison Square Garden and watch parties were canceled outside the arena, but Trump was spotted nodding off as the New York Knicks saw their 13-game postseason win streak snapped by the San Antonio Spurs.

On Friday, NBC News reported that the Pentagon had raised its counterintelligence threat level on Israel to “critical” – its “highest level” – amid concerns that the Middle East nation was “ramping up its spying on the U.S.” The White House dismissed the report as entirely “false,” and claimed the source of the information – two U.S. officials and one former official – did not “have any knowledge of what’s going on.”
