Graham Secretly Questioned Trump’s Iran Negotiators, Prefers Rubio to Lead

A documentary on the late Lindsey Graham reveals him privately doubting Trump’s Iran-negotiation team, saying Kushner and Witkoff were too conflicted and that Rubio should lead talks with Iran. The footage, gathered by Alex Holder for Lindsey’s Game, spans years and includes Graham’s March remark that the war could end in weeks and his frustration with a June memorandum with Iran, offering a rare posthumous glimpse of his views on Trump’s diplomacy.

Congress Grills Trump Iran Deal Officials in First Unified Briefings

Democrats and Republicans pressed Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff in the first all-member briefings on President Trump’s Iran deal, seeking clarity on potential oil-sanctions relief and Iran’s prospective revenue. Officials said the memorandum of understanding is meant to kick off negotiations toward a final agreement to curb Iran’s highly enriched uranium and reduce leverage over the Strait of Hormuz, while noting talks would involve allied partners and address concerns about a reconstruction fund and financial benefits to Tehran.

Qatar Investment Authority Acquires Park Lane Hotel in $623M Deal

Qatar Investment Authority, the sovereign wealth fund of Qatar, has purchased the Park Lane Hotel in New York City for nearly $623 million from Steve Witkoff's company. The fund's acquisition is part of its ongoing expansion into the New York real estate market. The future plans for the property are currently unknown. Witkoff had originally intended to convert the hotel into high-end condos but put the project on hold due to market saturation. The sale comes after a series of legal issues and failed attempts to sell the property at a higher price.
