EXPLOSIVE WHITE HOUSE GAGGLE: In an unprecedented outdoor press conference moments ago, Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt dropped multiple bombshells that sent shockwaves through the gathered media. The Pentagon has launched a formal investigation into Senator Mark Kelly and other Democrat lawmakers for attempting to intimidate 1.3 million active-duty service members.
The investigation centers on a video released by Democrat senators encouraging military personnel to defy lawful orders from the Trump administration. “Senator Mark Kelly well knows the rules of the military and the respect that one must have for the chain of command,” Leavitt declared, her voice cutting through the cold air outside the White House. “All lawful orders are presumed to be legal by our service members. You can’t have a functioning military if there is disorder and chaos within the ranks.”
When pressed by reporters, Leavitt delivered a devastating blow to the Democrats’ narrative: “Not a single one of them since they’ve been pressed by the media—and I’ll give you guys credit for that—can point to a single illegal order that this administration has given down because it does not exist.”
The bombshells didn’t stop there. In a stunning development, a judge has thrown out indictments against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James, prompting immediate action from the Trump administration. “I know there was a judge who is clearly trying to shield Letitia James and James Comey from receiving accountability,” Leavitt stated. “The Department of Justice will be appealing very soon.”
When asked if Trump is now more determined to pursue justice against Comey and James, her response was unequivocal: “The President is more determined than ever to see accountability in this country and to correct the wrongs of the weaponization of our justice system that we saw under the previous administration.”
The gaggle took a dramatic turn when a reporter shouted over her while she was answering another journalist’s question. The Press Secretary’s sharp response—”Excuse me, I’m answering a question… I turned and looked at you because you’re yelling”—demonstrated the tense atmosphere surrounding these explosive announcements.
On Ukraine, she revealed significant progress in peace negotiations, with “the vast majority” of a 28-point peace plan already agreed upon by Ukrainian officials. She fiercely defended the administration against critics, including Republican senators: “Any idea that the United States of America is not engaging with both sides equally in this war to bring it to an end is a complete and total fallacy.”
Her most pointed rebuke came for those opposing the peace efforts: “Maybe they’re profiting off of it. Maybe they benefit from it in some way, but nobody in this building benefits from war. We want to see this war come to an end.”
She also confirmed that Trump had an hour-long “very positive” call with Chinese President Xi Jinping this morning, focusing on trade deals and improving relations. “We are pleased with what we’ve seen from the Chinese, and they feel the same way,” she reported.
On Venezuela, she maintained strategic ambiguity while confirming the administration views “the Maduro regime as being illegitimate.” The President has been “very satisfied with the successful strikes against narco terrorists and foreign terrorists that are illegally trafficking drugs towards the United States.”
Perhaps most telling was her comment about NYC Mayor Ritchie Torres, who had previously made inflammatory statements about Trump: “Talk is cheap, and I think that the President is going to judge Mamdani by his actions… The fact that the President is willing to meet with somebody who said those types of things about him shows that he really is interested in being a president for all Americans.”
The gaggle concluded with her addressing healthcare reform, confirming that “healthcare is a topic of discussion that’s happening very frequently and robustly inside the West Wing right now” with a major proposal coming soon.
This outdoor press gaggle will be remembered as the moment multiple investigations were confirmed, the deep state’s protection was challenged, and the Trump administration demonstrated it will not back down from pursuing accountability. The Pentagon investigating sitting senators for undermining military command, the DOJ appealing partisan judicial interference, and continued progress on ending wars—all announced in one explosive session.
The message was clear: the days of escaping accountability are over. Whether it’s Democrat senators undermining military order, partisan judges protecting the deep state, or the weaponization of justice—the Trump administration is moving full speed ahead with investigations and appeals.
Watch the full gaggle for every explosive moment, including the tense exchange with the shouting reporter and her forceful defense of the administration’s actions.
