President Trump just told me, in a brief phone call, that Benjamin Netenyahu did not defy him by launching an attack on Iran on Sunday night. The missles were "already on the way" he told me before the two leaders spoke. "They had already gone" he said

We have a “lid” as they say at the White House.It’s time to go home. The press pool will not be called on again today. No sign of Trump, so I couldn’t point my boom mic at him as the duty radio pooler. Most unlike the president to be so camera and mic shy

I missed the White House Correspondents Dinner because I was in London at the BBC #CastFest. I’m both relieved to have missed a frightening experience and regretful that I wasn’t there to report the story

🚨NEWS: I spoke with Trump by phone earlier today: we discussed the upcoming royal visit, whether Sir Keir Starmer can recover following strained US-UK relations over the last 2 months of war with Iran, and what his social media threats against Iran really mean. 🧵👇

ON STARMER: I asked about a recent social media post in which he said Sir Keir Starmer had time to recover - Trump said that if he opened the North Sea for drilling and strengthened his immigration policies the PM could recover. "If he doesn't, I don't think he has a chance."
