Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, at Wednesday's briefing alongside Gen. Dan Caine, accused the American press of covering U.S. service member deaths in Iran for one reason only: to make the president look bad. The comment landed like a grenade in a briefing room that was already a stage with One America News Network and The Daily Wire called on first, and the BBC only summoned, per CNN's Brian Stelter, because Hegseth apparently liked anchor Tom Batemans tie.
DATE: Is the president aware of the significance of Budapest? In 1994, Russia promised, in Budapest, not to invade Ukraine if it gave up the nuclear weapons it inherited when the Soviet Union dissolved. Does he not see why Ukraine might object to that site? Who suggested Budapest? Thanks.
