Stay up to date with live coverage of the Trump administration and national politics Wednesday as Russia defies Trump and insists it has not made any concessions to end war and the “criminal illegal alien” of Karoline Leavitt’s nephew was nabbed by ICE.
A crazed gunman shot two National Guard troops in an “ambush”-style attack — leaving them in critical condition — just blocks from the White House on Wednesday, according to law enforcement sources and officials, who shortly after confirmed that the suspect was in custody.
Russia shot down President Trump’s claim that the Kremlin had already agreed to some concessions on ending the war in Ukraine — as Moscow blasted innocent Ukrainians with fresh drone strikes overnight.
Multiple Russian officials insisted it was too premature to speak about accepting any peace plan and that Moscow wouldn’t agree to anything that didn’t fully meet its demands.
Meanwhile, the mother of White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt’s nephew has been detained by federal immigration officials in Massachusetts.
Trump does not have any public events scheduled today. He traveled to Palm Beach, Florida for the rest of the week.
