In just four minutes, President Trump said any murders in Washington,
d C. Should warrant the death penalty. While tatting the
National Guard intervention in d C. Trump said, if anybody
does murder someone in the nation's capital, they get capital punishment.
He then called it a very strong preventative measure. Trump

on President Trump's threat to send the National Guard to Chicago.

also urged residents to protest peacefully if troops are deployed.

Federal Reserve Board Governor Lisa Cook is challenging the President's
attempt to fire her. According to an attorney for Cook,
Trump has no authority to remove her, and the firing
lacks any factual or legal basis. Cook's removal follows Justice
Department criminal investigation into the Board governor after she was
accused of making false statements on home mortgage applications. A

(01:07):
federal judge is dismissing a Trump administration lawsuit against every
federal judge in Maryland.

Speaker 1 (01:12):
Lawsuit stems from a standing order that limits the government's
ability to quickly deport immigrants. Justice Department attorneys argued that
the judge had no authority to issue such a blanket order,
but the latest ruling determined that filing a suit against
the judges was not the correct avenue to challenge the order.

Speaker 2 (01:29):

and the judiciary. President Trump says he wishes Taylor Swift
