Trump 2nd term live updates: Dan Bongino named as deputy FBI director

House Speaker Mike Johnson, during his appearance at CPAC, praised the Department of Government Efficiency's work to cut spending but downplayed the idea to use some of its savings to send checks to the public.

He said the idea, which Trump discussed on Wednesday night, doesn't align with conservatives' core principles of "fiscal responsibility."

"We have a $36 trillion federal debt," he said. "We have a giant deficit that we're contending with. I think we need to pay down the credit, right? That's what I think we need to do." Johnson said.

Earlier Thursday, White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller, when asked about the timeline for the proposal, said it was going to be worked out through the reconciliation process in Congress.

During a fireside chat with Rob Finnerty of Newsmax at CPAC, House Speaker Mike Johnson was asked if he sees another funding bill for Ukraine.

"Look, there's no appetite for that," Johnson said, shaking his head in uncertainty and asking the audience: "What do you think?"

The CPAC spectators then booed the possibility of additional funding going overseas.

"We have to bring [the funding] to an end," Johnson added. "And I can tell you that our European allies understand the necessity of this as well. It drug on too long. By some estimates, Russia's lost 700,000 troops, maybe more. The Ukrainians have suffered great losses. We have to bring an end to the conflict. President Trump's exactly right. It's time for it to end, and he is the brute force. I think that can make that happen."

President Trump hosted a reception at the White House on Thursday to mark Black History Month.

When he walked on stage, he was joined by Tiger Woods, who Trump called "one of the greatest golfers in the world."

Woods was wearing the Presidential Medal of Freedom awarded to him by Trump in 2019. The medal is the highest honor the president can bestow on a civilian.

The Trump administration has moved up the expiration date for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haitians and the program is now set to expire in August 2025, according to a memo obtained by ABC News. The program, which allows Haitians to temporarily live in the United States due to credible fear in their home country was set to expire in February 2026 after former DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas extended the designation in 2024.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will have to decide whether she will extend the program by June 4, or let it expire and subject over 500,000 Haitians in the United States to possible deportation in August.

The status of Haitian migrants became a flashpoint during the 2024 campaign, after Vice President JD Vance and President Donald Trump spread false rumors that migrants were stealing and eating people's pets in Springfield, Ohio.

Haitians have had TPS protections for over 15 years, according to the DHS memo.
