Former first lady Dr. Jill Biden said on Monday that she does not think the federal government will be as involved with women's health investments and research as it used to be.

Biden spoke at the Milken Institute Global Conference in a discussion about the think tank's new Women's Health Network, of which she has been named chair. The initiative will promote research and investments for women's health, according to a press release from the Milken Institute.

"I think this is really an opportunity for business, for private equity to, you know, it doesn't seem like the federal government is really going to be as involved as they were, in -- so we need to look at this as a challenge, but also as an opportunity. And I think we all have a part to play in every aspect of this," Biden said when discussing what excited her about the initiative.

Biden was seemingly referencing federal government cuts, which have heavily hit health research initiatives as well, although she did not call out the White House or any figures by name. The White House has defended government cuts, including to health research, as meant to reduce waste and fraud.

Biden later said that some of the opportunities she sees as ways to impact women's health in the U.S. are to break down "silos" between data that researchers have collected, as well as to get more women enrolled in clinical trials.

The Trump administration faces two new lawsuits from a coalition of state attorneys general who are trying to stop the recent cuts to the Department of Health and Human Services and the president's halt to offshore wind leasing.

The pair of lawsuits -- filed in federal courts in Rhode Island and Massachusetts -- are the newest legal challenges against the Trump administration filed by a group of Democratic state attorneys general.

"This administration is not streamlining the federal government; they are sabotaging it and all of us," Attorney General Letitia James said in a statement.

A group of 19 attorneys general filed a lawsuit in Rhode Island District Court to challenge Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s attempt to fire 10,000 employees. The AGs argue the cuts to the Department prompted "severe, complicated, and potentially irreversible" harms, including shutting down laboratories devoted to testing infectious diseases, missing vaccine deadlines, and abandoning ongoing experiments.

The second lawsuit, filed by 17 attorneys general in Massachusetts District Court, challenges the president's moratorium on offshore drilling he signed on his first day in office.

President Trump was asked to respond to criticism from the Catholic community on the AI-generated image of Trump dressed as the pope that Trump and the White House shared on social media.

"I had nothing to do with it," Trump said after claiming Catholics "loved it."

"Somebody made up a picture of me dressed like the pope, and they put it out on the internet. That's not me that did it. I have no idea where it came from. Maybe it was AI. But I know nothing about it. I just saw it last evening," he said.

The image was shared on Trump's own Truth Social account, as well the official White House X page. When pressed on that fact, Trump replied, "Give me a break. Yeah, it was -- it was just, somebody did it in fun. It's fine."

President Trump was asked on Monday to elaborate on his proposal over the weekend to implement steep tariffs on movies produced outside the U.S.

"We're going to meet with the industry," Trump said in the Oval Office. "I want to make sure they're happy with it. Because we're all about jobs, that's all."

A White House spokesman said on Monday that there has been "no final decisions on foreign film tariffs," when asked about Trump's social media post over the weekend in which he said he was authorizing agencies to begin the process of instituting a 100% tariff on any movies coming into the U.S. that are produced in foreign nations.

"Although no final decisions on foreign film tariffs have been, the Administration is exploring all options to deliver on President Trump's directive to safeguard our country's national and economic security while Making Hollywood Great Again," said White House spokesman Kush Desai.
