Trump 2nd term updates: Trump attends the Super Bowl

As he met with Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba in the Oval Office, President Donald Trump was asked about the Time magazine cover showing Elon Musk behind the Resolute Desk.

Trump first swiped at Time by asking if they were "still in business" -- despite receiving their "Person of the Year" award in December and called it an honor -- before going on to praise Musk and his staff.

"Elon is doing a great job. He's finding tremendous fraud and corruption and waste," Trump told reporters. "You're seeing it with the USAID but you're going to see it even more so with other agencies."

Trump continued to allege, without evidence, that USAID is spending money fraudulently.

Trump on Friday shared a photo of him standing next to Elon Musk and Tucker Carlson.

The men are standing in the colonnade next to the White House Rose Garden in the West Wing. Musk and Carlson are wearing oversized MAGA hats, and all three men are giving a thumbs up.

Musk on Thursday shared a photo where he was wearing the oversized hat in the Oval Office.

The International Criminal Court said it "condemns" Trump's executive order to impose sanctions on the court's officials.

"The Court stands firmly by its personnel and pledges to continue providing justice and hope to millions of innocent victims of atrocities across the world, in all Situations before it," the court said in a statement.

A joint statement endorsed by 79 of the 125 countries that are States Parties to the Rome Statute that established the court offered "unwavering support for the independence, impartiality, and integrity of the ICC."

In his executive order, signed Thursday, Trump claimed the court has "engaged in illegitimate and baseless actions targeting America and our close ally Israel."

Senate Democrats are launching an investigation into reports that Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency infiltrated the Department of Education and gained access to federal student loan data.

In a letter to Acting Education Secretary Denise Carter, 16 Democrats, led by Sen. Elizabeth Warren and Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, ask for information about whether Musk and his team have been provided access to the National Student Loan Data System, among other things.

"The federal government’s student loan database contains highly sensitive information for millions of borrowers, including Social Security Numbers, marital status, and income
information," they wrote.

"It is not at all clear that DOGE officials meet the strict criteria that would allow them to access this sensitive information protected by federal law—or whether DOGE officials have gained access to other sensitive ED databases as part of their efforts to “reform” the agency," they added.
