The President's Daily Brief

In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:

• We’ll kick things off with the fallout from Hezbollah’s exploding communication devices. The companies behind the technology are scrambling to distance themselves from the attack on the terrorist group, denying any involvement.
• Later, we’ll look at how these events in Lebanon come at the worst possible time for Secretary of State Antony Blinken, who’s in the Middle East this week, still holding out hope for a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel.
• Plus, new revelations about the attempted assassination of former President Trump, as the Secret Service admits agents failed to search the outskirts of his Florida golf course—where the alleged assassin was hiding.
• And in today’s Back of the Brief: The U.S. military has deployed 130 soldiers and mobile rocket launchers to an island in Alaska’s Aleutian chain, responding to increased Russian military activity, with planes and vessels nearing American territory.
