As President Trump visits Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar, Yemen’s Houthi leaders issue a stark warning to Gulf states against aligning with Washington. Mohammed Ali al-Houthi called on Arab leaders to stand with Palestine and remember America's history of abandoning allies like the Shah of Iran. Despite a U.S.-mediated truce, Houthi leaders vow to continue retaliatory strikes in defense of Gaza. The UAE welcomes the Oman-brokered ceasefire for boosting regional trade, but tensions remain high with Israel striking Yemen following Houthi attacks. The group remains defiant and distrustful of U.S. promises.

Trump is at the center of a political and legal storm after confirming plans to temporarily use a $400 million Boeing 747-8 — dubbed the “Flying Palace” — reportedly offered by Qatar’s royal family. Trump claims the ultra-luxurious jet is a “gift, free of charge” to the U.S. government while the new Air Force One fleet faces delays. However, Qatari officials deny it’s a personal gift to Trump and say the deal remains under review with the U.S. Department of Defense. Critics, including top Democrats, warn the arrangement may breach the Constitution’s Emoluments Clause and raise national security concerns over foreign influence.

Federal prosecutors will pursue the death penalty if Luigi Mangione is convicted of Murdering UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson. Mangione is accused of killing the executive to send a political message and ignite widespread opposition to the healthcare industry. The DOJ has filed a formal “notice of intent to seek the death penalty,” backed by Attorney General Pam Bondi. Prosecutors say Mangione deliberately targeted a high-profile victim to maximize impact. His defense calls the government’s move “barbaric” and politically motivated. Mangione will plead not guilty to a four-count indictment, including firearm-related Murder.

Trump’s administration has referred New York AG Letitia James for criminal prosecution, alleging she committed mortgage fraud by misrepresenting her primary residence and falsely listing her father as her husband. The explosive claims come as James continues to pursue legal action against Trump. Critics call it poetic justice, pointing out James previously charged Trump for similar offenses. Legal experts say the documents appear “damning,” raising questions about whether James followed the same legal standards she holds others to. The DOJ has not yet responded.
