NATO Ambassador Matthew Whitaker appears on CNN with Jake Tapper to discuss the recent 2026 NATO assembly in Ankara, Turkey. Tapper asks Whitaker about the New York Times report on Airforce One and subsequent DOJ subpoenas, and Whitaker doesn’t take the bait, “not in my purview.” WATCH:

Its certainly refreshing to watch strength in real time – refusal to take the bait, closing down the hoped for narrative.
Iran wants to drag war into midterms to hurt Trump politically: Joe Concha-
Fox News contributor Joe Concha said Sunday that Iran wants to prolong the war into the turbulent midterm election season in an effort to hurt President Donald Trump politically.
To extend the conflict, Concha suggested Tehran may be misleading the U.S. about its intentions regarding a peace deal.
“All they want to do is get to November because they know this hurts the president politically. They want to stretch this out as long as possible,” Concha said. “They’ll tell us one thing and then do another.”
Concha predicted that Democrats could retake the House while Republicans maintain control of the Senate in the midterm elections.
Under such a scenario, Trump could face repeated impeachment efforts from House Democrats, Concha said.
“They’ll impeach Trump in perpetuity, and they’re not going to look good in terms of not solving problems, only settling debts,” Concha said.
“So you’re going to have a split, sort of, government at this point,” he added.
Whittaker belongs in the cabinet. If true, as rumors say, that Patel is planning on leaving, this is one man I would consider to take his place.
