Story summary
On September 26, 2026, the White House restricted CNN reporters from joining the press pool on Air Force One amid increasing bad news for President Trump. Key issues included a prosecutor's resignation over misconduct in the Broadview Six case, allegations of financial mismanagement at the Kennedy Center involving $1.4 million, and 69% of Americans disapproving of his handling of the war with Iran. Additionally, Rubio revealed that Trump invited Vladimir Putin to the G20 meeting in December, but fourteen senators have urged him to cancel this invitation due to concerns over relations with Russia. Meanwhile, Trump reportedly plans to resume bombing Iran after the midterms and is seeking a "fundamental change" in Cuba's government.
