Despite the White House’s pressure, Hungary will not stop importing Russian oil and gas, according to Foreign Minister Péter Szijjártó.

Former President Donald Trump is publicly expressing frustration with U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi over the lack of progress in initiating criminal prosecutions against several of his political adversaries, including Adam Schiff and Lisa Cook. Trump has made repeated posts on Truth Social demanding Bondi take action based on unsubstantiated allegations of mortgage fraud, led by William Pulte, a Trump appointee at the Federal Housing Finance Agency, and a special prosecutor.

This public directive caught many senior officials within the Justice Department and White House off guard, with some perceiving it as a mistakenly public private message.
