Episode 24
7am: Overnight, Iran says its nuclear facility – the country's largest enrichment site – has been hit in an airstrike. On Friday, President Trump said he was considering winding down military presence in the region. However, MS NOW reports the administration has doubled the number of United States troops deployed to the region. Josh Lederman, fellow at the Center for International Security Studies, and Alan Eyre, Former Senior U.S. Diplomat, join "The Weekend" to discuss.
8am: Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard contradicts Trump's claims about the war with Iran, including on whether Iran's nuclear program posed an imminent threat, even as the White House used that as justification. At two separate hearings this week, she said it's not her job to assess threats. John Brennan, Former Director of the CIA and MS Now Senior National Security and Intelligence Analyst, joins "The Weekend" to discuss.
9am: Meanwhile – questions remain if U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi will comply with the committee's subpoena to answer questions about the investigation. House Democrats stormed out of a last-minute closed-door briefing with Bondi this week. They say they were enraged by her refusal to commit to testifying under oath. Democrats also pressed Chairman James Comer on whether he'd compel Bondi's testimony or seek to hold her in contempt, but Comer does not seem interested in that. Sen. Jeff Merkley joins The Weekend to discuss the latest on the Epstein investigation.
