Israeli intelligence has told U.S. officials about a reportedly "specific" Iranian plan to assassinate President Donald Trump, U.S. outlets have reported. The Secret Service has urged a mid‑trip swap from the newly gifted Qatari 747 to an older Air Force One jet, and federal subpoenas have been served on New York Times reporters in a leak probe.
The New York Times reports federal subpoenas compel reporters to testify before a Manhattan grand jury, amid tensions over press freedom and Trump’s use of government power. Subpoenas are described as an escalation in efforts to scrutinize leaks and force testimony, with the DOJ insisting reporters are not targets. The event follows Trump’s NATO-related travel and remarks about security risks.
Nearly 1 million holders have lost about $3.81 billion by end of June on President Trump’s memecoin, while the former president reports a $636 million payout from crypto ventures, including WLFI, as scrutiny grows over crypto promotions tied to his campaign.
Trump has voiced support for cryptocurrency and launched Trump Accounts, while Strategy has sold Bitcoin, eroding the firm’s never-sell thesis and pressuring Bitcoin prices amid broader crypto turbulence.
