Breaking UpdateTrump Says He Is Cancelling Jay Clayton's Senate Confirmation HearingIn a lengthy post on his Truth Social platform early Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced that he is cancelling the confirmation hearing of Jay Clayton, his nominee to serve as director of national intelligence, and that Bill Pulte, the loyalist Trump picked to serve as acting DNI, will remain in the post for now.Trump accused Republicans of working with Democrats to "remove very fair, and talented" Pulte in exchange for getting the Democrats to vote to extend the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act.The president said that Republicans "moved so fast" to set up the Clayton hearings that Pulte would be gone before he even served a day as acting DNI and before Democrats voted on FISA.Besides, Trump added that getting James M. McDonald confirmed to the role of U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York is not a done deal and that he does not want to take "Clayton away from the great job he is doing until [McDonald] is in place.""Therefore, to add a slight bit of intrigue but, for the Good of the Nation, and the People of our Country, I will not approve FISA without THE SAVE AMERICA ACT going along with it," Trump said."Regarding the approval of our Great Patriot, Jay Clayton, we are cancelling the Senate Hearing RE: DNI today, and will not be going forward until Jamie McDonald is approved to be U.S. Attorney," Trump continued. "In the meantime, Bill Pulte will remain as the Acting Director of National Intelligence."Latest Live UpdatesFormer U.K. Minister Says He Could Challenge Starmer Next WeekBritain's former health minister, Wes Streeting, said he would be prepared to trigger a Labour leadership contest to replace Keir Starmer as prime minister as soon as next week, urging a speedy end to the "uncertainty and paralysis."Streeting, who has said he has the backing of the 81 Labour lawmakers needed to trigger a challenge, told BBC Newsnight late on Tuesday he thought a contest should be initiated sooner rather than later.But Starmer, speaking at the G7 summit in Evian, repeated on Wednesday that he would fight to stay in his job if a formal challenge was launched against his leadership."If there is a challenge, I intend to fight in any challenge to my leadership," Starmer said."I don't think there should be a challenge, because I think that is a bad thing for the country."The Labour Party is waiting to see if Andy Burnham, the Greater Manchester mayor, can win a local election in Makerfield on Thursday to return to parliament, where he would become the frontrunner in any challenge to Starmer.Streeting, who quit last month in protest at the prime minister's record, said he wanted Starmer to take "time to reflect over the weekend and I think we should see where we are then.""I would prefer the PM to take a decision on his own terms rather than leave it for me or Andy or anyone else to trigger a contest ... We can't carry on with this uncertainty and paralysis."In a further blow to Starmer's authority, the highly respected defense minister, John Healey, resigned last week, accompanied by a scathing critique of Starmer's record in allocating funds to increase defense spending.Trump Arrives Late For G7 Meeting, Jokingly Tells Fellow World Leaders 'I'm The Boss'President Donald Trump on Wednesday joined the G7 working session late, entering the room a few minutes after the meeting got underway."I'm the boss," Trump jokingly said before taking his seat next to French President Emmanuel Macron.As the press was being escorted out of the room, Trump told journalists: "Would you like to stay for the meeting?
