On February 17, 2026, President Donald Trump said he did not believe Iran wanted to “deal with the consequences of not getting a deal,” signaling pressure ahead of U.S.-Iran nuclear talks in Geneva. Trump said he would be indirectly involved while envoys Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff attend negotiations mediated by Oman. He stressed a preference for diplomacy but ordered a U.S. military buildup in the region, warning of “steep” consequences if talks fail. Iranian officials describe willingness to negotiate conditioned on sanctions relief. The comments came amid heightened tensions, recent naval incidents and resumed IAEA engagement with Tehran.

On February 3, 2026 President Donald Trump said the Justice Department’s recently released Jeffrey Epstein files “fully clear” him of any wrongdoing, declaring “nothing came out about me” and urging the country to move on. The DOJ had disclosed millions of pages under the Epstein Files Transparency Act after an internal FBI/DOJ review found no incriminating “client list” or evidence to predicate investigations of uncharged third parties. Critics — including lawmakers and survivors — say heavy redactions and missing records leave serious questions, and they continue to press congressional oversight and calls for fuller disclosure and accountability and transparency now.

President Trump, asked aboard Air Force One about reports that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and her top aide Corey Lewandowski are in a romantic relationship, said, “I don’t know about that. I mean, I haven’t heard that. I’ll find out about it, but I have not heard.” The alleged affair — which both deny — has been described as the “worst-kept secret” in Washington. Reporting says the pair frequently traveled together on government aircraft and provoked internal DHS disputes over staffing and resource use. A department spokesperson called the coverage “salacious, baseless gossip.” Media accounts include pilot and travel anecdotes reported by news outlets. (rollcall.com)
