President Trump fielded questions on Iran, Zohran Mamdani, the SAVE America Act, immigration, Max Miller, oil prices, Todd Blanche and the weaponization fund, the MLB, the reflecting pool and Jeanine Pirro, who he said “choked” and left him “very disappointed.”

Trump said the Iran talks were going on "right now." He described the talks as a "last chance," later saying: "I want to give them every last chance before decapitation."

Full quotes to come.

Pool was escorted out of the Oval Office at 2:39PM.
