Trump weighs cabinet-led briefings as Leavitt departs

Trump is weighing a plan to have Cabinet officials host White House press briefings for an undetermined period after Karoline Leavitt leaves at the end of August, with several contenders floated (Elizabeth Pipko, Alina Habba, Scott Jennings, Anna Kelly, Tricia McLaughlin). Leavitt remains a trusted adviser, and Trump has often acted as his own spokesperson, while the traditional briefing schedule has been sporadic. Semafor first reported the plan, and CNN notes the jockeying among allies for a replacement and the lack of urgency in naming one.

Trump taps Camp David for Iran talks as pressure grows

President Donald Trump convened his Cabinet at Camp David for a roughly three-hour session amid mounting pressure over Iran, opting for a woodsy, informal setting and red diner mugs over formal White House pomp. He offered few specifics on a concrete Iran strategy beyond saying he’s “going big,” while some officials praised his leadership, and the gathering drew on Camp David’s diplomatic history without signaling a definitive plan to end the war.

AI Chief Joins Cabinet as UK Dismantles Tech Dept

UK appoints Kanishka Narayan as AI minister with a seat in the cabinet even as the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology is scrapped and its responsibilities are spread across other ministries. The move elevates AI policy while removing a dedicated tech secretary after Liz Kendall’s dismissal, prompting scrutiny from industry figures who stress maintaining tech foundations, energy for data centers, and managing AI’s impact on jobs while accelerating public-sector AI adoption.

Burnham forms new Labour cabinet, reshaping senior posts

Andy Burnham has unveiled his first Labour cabinet after taking over from Sir Keir Starmer, naming John Healey as chancellor, Louise Haigh as Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster and first secretary of state, Ed Miliband as foreign secretary, Shabana Mahmood as home secretary, Yvette Cooper as health secretary, and Pat McFadden as work and pensions secretary; Haigh will also run a new Number 10 North unit to rebalance power to regions. Burnham says the line-up shifts power away from Whitehall, aims to reform utilities and housing, and keeps Labour’s pledge not to raise core income tax, VAT, or National Insurance.

Germany raises terror threat to high as intel flags potential attack plans

Germany has raised its national terror threat level from abstract to high after intelligence indicated a surge in potential attack plans, warning that attacks could occur at any time. The move accompanies plans to expand the powers of intelligence agencies throughcabinet-backed reforms that could allow faster action in high-risk situations, including home searches in urgent cases while police retain arrest powers. The announcement comes ahead of a cabinet meeting to consider sweeping intelligence-law changes and follows recent deadly attacks, underscoring heightened security concerns.

Ukraine overhauls cabinet as Zelensky taps interim defense minister amid protests

Ukraine overhauls cabinet as Zelensky taps interim defense minister amid protests

Ukraine’s parliament approved Zelensky’s cabinet reshuffle, naming Serhiy Koretsky as prime minister and reappointing key ministers while also appointing Yevheny Khmara as interim defense minister—triggering protests after Mikhailo Fedorov declined another role. Kyiv’s ongoing drone campaign against Russia’s energy and logistics infrastructure continued, including strikes around the Azov Sea and occupied Crimea, as Moscow seeks gasoline from India to compensate for refinery losses. ISW says Ukraine’s long-range strikes are degrading Russian air defenses and logistics, pressuring energy infrastructure and SLOCs, while Russia maintains missile and drone campaigns against Ukrainian targets. Separately, Russian elites are moving assets abroad amid expropriation efforts, and Poland warns of Russian surveillance of NATO Baltic defense exercises as part of a broader Phase Zero effort.

Adorni was scrutinized for lavish private travel and real estate purchases, and he admitted to buying dollars on the black market and hiding $500,000 in savings—claims he says are earned legitimately, including cryptocurrency investments. The fate of his replacement remains unclear.

Trump Masks Bruised Hand After Hospital Visit at Cabinet Meeting

At a cabinet meeting, President Donald Trump, who will turn 80 next month, appeared with a badly discolored bruise on his right hand and used makeup to conceal it while gesturing; the bruise has persisted for months and followed his visit to Walter Reed Medical Center for a routine checkup. White House aides have attributed the marks to aspirin use and frequent handshakes, even as scrutiny of his physical and cognitive health intensifies ahead of the 2026 cycle. Trump has publicly boasted about cognitive tests, arguing he remains mentally fit, while polling shows growing public concern about his health and fitness to lead.
