President Donald Trump has acknowledged that he cannot run for a third term, citing constitutional limits, despite his interest in staying in the White House. Speaking aboard Air Force One, Trump said, "I'm not allowed to run. It's too bad." His comments came after House Speaker Mike Johnson stated it would be impossible for Trump to keep serving as president. Johnson explained that the 22nd Amendment prevents a third term and changing it would be a lengthy process. Despite this, Trump has repeatedly mentioned the idea of staying in power, even distributing "Trump 2028" hats as souvenirs.

President Donald Trump has told House Speaker Mike Johnson he won't be spending $4.9 billion in congressionally approved foreign aid, effectively cutting the budget without going through the legislative branch. The Republican president is using what's known as a pocket rescission — when a president submits a request to Congress to not spend approved funds toward the end of the fiscal year, so Congress cannot act on the request in a 45-day time frame and the money goes unspent as a result. It's the first time in nearly 50 years a president has used one. Trump's move has drawn backlash in the Senate. The fiscal year draws to a close at the end of September.

The State Department says it's investigating whether Harvard University will remain part of a government program that allows foreign nationals to take part in cultural and education exchange programs. The move Wednesday is the latest in a series of inquires by the Trump administration targeted the Ivy League school. Harvard already has filed a lawsuit challenging $2.6 billion in federal funding cuts. And the school accuses the administration of waging a retaliation campaign after Harvard rejected demands from a federal antisemitism task force in April. The State Department isn't saying why it's investigating Harvard's eligibility to take part in the Exchange Visitor Program.

Top Trump administration officials came to Capitol Hill to brief lawmakers about President Donald Trump's decision to bomb three Iranian nuclear sites. CIA Director John Ratcliffe, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Dan Kaine are expected to give the classified briefing to senators on Thursday. It comes as questions swirl in Congress about the effectiveness of the attack and what's ahead for America's military involvement in the Middle East. Also, senators are weighing their support for a resolution affirming that Trump should seek authorization from Congress before launching more military action against Iran.

Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump is in the rare position of having to defend someone else's controversial comments. Trump said Wednesday running mate JD Vance is "strongly family-oriented" when asked repeatedly to explain Vance's history of criticizing childless Americans. Trump's latest defense of his vice presidential pick came more than two weeks after he announced Vance's selection. Since the announcement, Trump's team has been confronted with multiple reports of the Ohio senator's controversial statements that have made his rollout among the most turbulent in recent history. A senior Trump adviser says there has been "zero conversation" about replacing Vance as his running mate.
