The process is far from settled as the White House weighs options ahead of midterms; Jennings—a CNN contributor and longtime Mitch McConnell adviser—would be evaluated for both his public persona and behind-the-scenes work, but officials say the decision is not imminent and Trump is taking time to decide.

Prosecutors Probe Alleged Post-Presidency Display of Classified Map on Trump Plane

Federal prosecutors examined whether Donald Trump showed a classified map to people on a post-presidency flight, including Susie Wiles, in a January 2023 briefing memo; the memo described it as a potential second instance of displaying a classified map and noted it was not charged as a separate count because its timing did not meet the definition of national defense information, as the broader probe into Trump’s handling of classified materials—centered on Mar-a-Lago—continues, with documents and flight witnesses under scrutiny.
