Trump admin updates: US military is preparing for possible activation of National Guard in DC

Vice President JD Vance denied reports that he was meeting with top administration officials for a strategy session as the administration considers whether to release the Justice Department's interview with Ghislaine Maxwell.

"I saw it reported today, and it's completely fake news," Vance said during an appearance in the Oval Office with President Donald Trump.

Trump called the report "b-------" and a "hoax." The president also said that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche did not brief him on the Maxwell interview.

Trump was asked about Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy's decision to end federal funding for mNRA vaccine research despite it being a cornerstone of the president's "Operation Warp Speed" initiative that helped develop COVID-19 vaccines in his first term.

"You know, that was, now a long time ago," he said of "Operation Warp Speed," adding, "And we're on to other things."

Trump said that a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely going to happen soon but he dodged a question about whether a peace deal will be close.

Instead, he spoke about his foreign policy moves, such as the military strike on Iran. The president brought up a model of the new stealth bomber to demonstrate that event.

Apple CEO Tim Cook joined Trump at the Oval Office to announce the company's $100 billion U.S. manufacturing investment.

Apple said it would manufacture its components for its products, including glass. Cook presented a special glass ornament to Trump.
