Summary

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: • First up—Ukraine brings the war to Moscow in dramatic fashion. A massive drone attack struck multiple targets across the Russian capital, including a key oil refinery, as new reports suggest Russia's air defenses may be burning through interceptor missiles at an unsustainable rate. • Later in the show—Xi Jinping launches a sweeping new purge inside the Communist Party, punishing nearly one million officials as he tightens his grip on power. • Plus—new reporting reveals the U.S. military prepared a plan to send ground troops into Iran to seize Tehran's enriched uranium stockpile before President Trump reportedly put the operation on hold. • In today's Back of the Brief—Toronto police say a network of hired gunmen may be behind a string of attacks targeting synagogues, Jewish institutions, and even the U.S. Consulate.
