WH Condemns ‘Systemic Demonization’ of Trump; Latest Iran Offer Being Discussed | NTD Good Morning (April 28)

Press secretary Karoline Leavitt held a press conference on Monday, saying that the White House Correspondents’ Dinner shooting is now the third major assassination attempt on President Donald Trump in the past two years.

The White House also condemned elected officials and some media for what it calls the systemic demonization of Trump, saying it leads to political violence. Trump also called on ABC and Disney to fire Jimmy Kimmel after the host referred to the First Lady as an “expectant widow.”

Trump met with his national security team on Monday to discuss the latest Iranian peace proposal. According to reports, Iran offered a mutual reopening of the Strait of Hormuz, but postponed discussion about Iran’s nuclear activity. Secretary of State Marco Rubio on Monday told Fox News that the main problem in discussing peace with Iran is that not even the Iranians themselves really know who’s in charge.

The Supreme Court is taking up a major human rights case on Tuesday, one with big implications for foreign nationals living in the United States. The plaintiffs are Chinese nationals living in the country who allege that tech company Cisco designed, built, and maintained a surveillance system that the Chinese Communist Party used to track their activities in China and persecute them for practicing the spiritual discipline Falun Gong. They claim that aiding and abetting such violations is itself a violation of international law. But Cisco says the law applies only to entities or individuals who directly commit the violations.
