"I do not see a scenario where Donald Trump spends one minute in jail."

"I would be surprised if we see a sentence of incarceration... [Trump] has no criminal record, it's a nonviolent crime."

"[T]here's no guarantees [Judge Merchan will not sentence Trump]."

"He could go to jail."

"I believe, if convicted, a sentence of incarceration is warranted and justified."

The judges "would likely sentence him to a term of incarceration."

"[I]t is substantially likely Judge Merchan will sentence Trump to jail or prison time."

"I think he almost definitely will receive a prison sentence... I could see Judge Merchan sentencing him to 24 months in jail."

Will Donald Trump Be Jailed or Incarcerated Before 2030?

"No, we're not thinking about nuclear weapons."

"We have no intention of obtaining these weapons at all."

"Iran doesn't have nukes, isn't building nukes, and hasn't made the decision to build nukes."

"Iran doesn't have a bomb, and doesn't appear to be trying to make a bomb."

"They are definitely going for a nuclear weapon there is no question."

"They can have [a nuclear weapon], you know, in a matter of months, I would say."

Iran could produce a nuclear weapon "within a few months, less than a year."

Will Iran Possess a Nuclear Weapon?

The White House formally submitted an $87.6 billion supplemental spending request to Congress on Wednesday, with roughly $67 billion earmarked for the Pentagon to cover costs from the U.S. war against Iran, known as Operation Epic Fury.

The White House formally submitted an $87.6 billion supplemental spending request to Congress on Wednesday, with roughly $67 billion earmarked for the Pentagon to cover costs from the U.S. war against Iran, known as Operation Epic Fury.

The Pentagon's share of the request includes $21 billion for munitions, $17.3 billion for operational costs, $12.1 billion for classified programs, $5.1 billion for cybersecurity and autonomy, $2.4 billion for drones and $1.5 billion for fuel costs.

The supplemental request also includes $11.1 billion in farm assistance, $1.4 billion to address the Ebola outbreak in Central Africa and $1 billion toward the renovation of Penn Station in New York City.

Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Roger Wicker said he "fully" supports the request, while Sen. Patty Murray, the top Democrat on the Senate Appropriations Committee, said she would not "rubberstamp tens of billions more for this disastrous war of choice."

The supplemental request is significantly lower than the roughly $200 billion the Pentagon had initially floated earlier in the year. The request faces an uncertain path in the Senate, where legislation requires 60 votes to advance and most Democrats have said they oppose funding the war.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth briefed House Republicans on Wednesday about the Pentagon's funding needs. The White House is seeking up to $1.5 trillion in total defense spending for fiscal year 2027, a roughly 50 percent increase over current levels.
