Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: First up—disturbing new reports out of Iran suggest the regime may have deployed chemical agents against protesters, raising serious questions about how far Tehran is willing to go to crush dissent. Later in the show—we break down the latest developments from Minneapolis, where a Border Patrol agent shot and killed a man during an immigration crackdown, fueling renewed calls for federal law enforcement to leave the state. Plus—trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine, and the United States wrap up with leaders projecting optimism, but little tangible progress toward ending the war. And in today’s Back of the Brief—President Trump claims a secret weapon he dubbed the “Discombobulator” was decisive in the raid that captured Venezuela’s Nicolas Maduro.
