Fact Check: Trump deleted, then reposted Truth Social post about phone call with Putin
Claim: U.S. President Donald Trump deleted and reposted a statement on Truth Social about his phone conversation with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Rating: On June 4, 2025, U.S. President Donald Trump reportedly posted and deleted a Truth Social post about a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin. Numerous claims said the post appeared to show Trump revealing he spoke to Putin about Ukraine's recent drone attacks on Russian aircraft. A number of X claims said Trump deleted the following Truth Social post about his phone call with Putin, while others noted that he deleted and then reposted the message. (X user @AesPolitics1) Trump's apparently deleted post read: I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields. We also discussed Iran, and the fact that time is running out on Iran's decision pertaining to nuclear weapons, which must be made quickly! I stated to President Putin that Iran cannot have a nuclear weapon and, on this, I believe that we were in agreement. President Putin suggested that he will participate in the discussions with Iran and that he could, perhaps, be helpful in getting this brought to a rapid conclusion. It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time! Trump did indeed make the above statement on Truth Social and subsequently delete it. Around an hour after deleting the post, he posted it again. As such, we rate this claim as true. We found evidence of the deleted post on Trump's Truth and Roll Call. Both websites have dedicated archives of Trump's Truth Social account. (Screenshot via Roll Call) We found archived links to his now-deleted post, which he shared at 12:40 p.m. EDT on Truth Social. Around an hour after deleting the original post, Trump reposted (archived) the same statement on Truth Social: I just finished speaking, by telephone, with President Vladimir Putin, of Russia. The call lasted approximately one hour and 15 minutes. We discussed the attack on Russia's docked airplanes, by Ukraine, and also various other attacks that have been taking place by both sides. It was a good conversation, but not a conversation that will lead to immediate Peace. President Putin did say, and very strongly, that he will have to respond to the recent attack on the airfields.

It is my opinion that Iran has been slowwalking their decision on this very important matter, and we will need a definitive answer in a very short period of time! (Truth Social user @RealDonaldTrump) Trump and Putin's call occurred after Ukraine carried out a drone attack on Russian airfields, destroyed warplanes, on June 1. Per the above post, Trump warned of Putin's response to Ukraine's attack and said their phone conversation would not lead to immediate peace. According to Trump, Putin also said he would participate in discussions with Iran on their nuclear weapons. According to the BBC, Russian officials declined to confirm the country's response to Ukraine's drone attack. Trump's social media accounts and statements have been the subject of misinformation during the Russia-Ukraine war. Previously, we reported on the false claim that Trump called on Ukraine to compensate Russia for destroying its aircraft. Ibrahim, Nur.

'Slap In The Face!': Outgoing Capitol Police Chief Blasts Trump Over Jan. 6 Pardons
U.S. Capitol Police Chief J. Thomas Manger, who is set to retire from the force on Friday, slammed President Donald Trump for pardoning rioters convicted or facing charges for their role in the deadly Jan. 6, 2021, attack. 'It was, I think, a slap in the face to every police officer that was here,' Manger told CBS News' Scott MacFarlane in an interview shared Wednesday. Manger was initially pulled out of retirement to take the agency's top post after his predecessor, former U.S. Capitol Police Chief Steven Sund, stepped down in the wake of the deadly riot. Trump's Jan. 6 pardons on his first day in office included hundreds of his supporters who had been convicted of assaulting officers, roughly 1,000 nonviolent offenders and around 200 people accused of assaulting police with pending cases. A number of those pardoned have sincebeen rearrested. Manger told MacFarlane that the day Trump issued the pardons was 'probably one of my worst days in this job.' 'I think it sent a chilling message to every police officer in this country,' he said of the pardons. 'That you can be involved in some massive public disorder event and that you could have a politician later on decide that, well, I liked what this other — this side was doing, so we're going to pardon all these people.' He also hit back at conspiracy theories tied to the riot, some of which have been peddled by right-wing media figures and Republican lawmakers alike. 'For somebody to make up some story that, 'Oh, it wasn't that bad,' — it is just not true,' he said. Manger has previously weighed in on Trump's pardons of Capitol rioters, telling CBS News' Norah O'Donnell in January that he was 'concerned' officers would question why they had put themselves in harm's way because of the move. He also recently declared that he was 'extremely disappointed' that the family of Ashli Babbitt — who was shot and killed while attempting to get through a smashed glass door during the riot — reportedly received a settlementof $5 million from the government. Manger, in an interview with Roll Call, said matters on the force are 'better than they were when I started' although he still sees room for more improvement — including a need for additional funding to fulfill staffing goals. When asked about the 'biggest challenge' for the department moving forward, he stressed that officers should 'stay focused on the mission' and protect themselves from 'political influence.' When asked by HuffPost about Manger's remarks, the White House shared a previously released statement by press secretary Karoline Leavitt that the president 'campaigned on pardoning January 6th protestors, won the election with an overwhelming mandate, and delivered on his promise.'

Former Democrat Hill staffers challenge the aging establishment in Congress: report
With Republicans firmly in control of Washington following the 2024 elections and President Trump implementing his second-term agenda, Democrats find themselves not just out of power but at odds over what the party stands for. A new wave of candidates has emerged: not from outside the political system, but from within the Democratic establishment itself. According to Roll Call, at least four former Democratic congressional staffers are now running against long-serving members of their own party. These challengers say they were motivated by frustration with the Democratic leadership's lack of direction, ineffective communication, and failure to respond to Trump's political momentum. Jeffries Distances Himself From Democrat Trips To El Salvador As Border Security Debate Splits Party: Report Each of these candidates brings a unique perspective, but all share a common theme: the belief that the Democratic Party is no longer equipped to meet the moment. Read On The Fox News App Saikat Chakrabarti, the 32-year-old former chief of staff to Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, is taking on one of the most iconic figures in the Democratic Party: former Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Pelosi, who has not yet confirmed if she will seek a 20th term, faces increasing calls for generational change within her solidly blue district. Chakrabarti told Roll Call that he was disillusioned by what he saw in Democrat leadership. "The main thing my time in Washington taught me is that the current Democratic Party and its leaders are not at all prepared for what is going on right now," he said. Instead of taking on Trump strategically, he said, Democratic leadership was more concerned with bureaucratic details than national messaging. David Hogg Clashes With An Irate James Carville Over Democratic Primary Plan, Calls On Him To 'Win Elections' "The party thinks their main job is fundraising all day, and not fixing real problems for voters," he added. Jake Rakov, a 33-year-old former deputy communications director for Rep. Brad Sherman, is now running against his former boss in California's San Fernando Valley. Sherman, who has served in Congress since 1997, is among the more senior Democrats now facing internal challenges. Rakov said he decided to run after witnessing what he described as an outdated and ineffective approach to politics. "Looking after Trump won again and seeing [Sherman] use the exact same talking points that I helped draft for him back in 2017… he was still doing the same outdated things," Rakov said. "He hasn't been able to adapt." Sherman, for his part, dismissed the challenge, telling Roll Call that "nobody who's actually involved in the civic affairs of my district runs against me," suggesting Rakov lacks a connection to the community. In Illinois, 51-year-old Jason Friedman, once an intern for Sen. Dick Durbin, is now running to replace longtime Rep. Danny K. Davis, who at 83 is one of the oldest members of the House. Davis has not yet announced whether he will run for a 16th term. Though Friedman declined to be interviewed, he issued a statement warning about threats to democracy and economic stability from Trump and Elon Musk. His decision to run highlights growing restlessness even in safely blue districts like Davis's, where younger candidates are eager to offer a new direction. While most of the former staffers are challenging Democrats, Jordan Wood is taking on a well-established Republican: Sen. Susan Collins of Maine. Wood, previously chief of staff to former Rep. Katie Porter, is entering a tough race in a purple state where Collins has consistently won reelection. Wood's message echoes that of his fellow challengers: frustration with political stagnation and a desire to bring in new leadership. "I'm tired of waiting for the same establishment politicians to fix these problems," Wood told Roll Call, citing concerns about affordability and economic pressure on working families. These challengers reflect a broader generational divide within the Democratic Party. Roll Call reports that they are all under 40, except for Friedman, who at 51 is still younger than the House's median age of 57. While their targets vary, their critiques are consistent: long-serving Democrats are not communicating effectively, not organizing nationally, and not offering solutions that resonate with frustrated voters. Chakrabarti and Rakov both criticized the Democratic strategy of focusing solely on local races while the GOP builds a cohesive national message. "We need a national message; that's the way to defeat the far right," Chakrabarti said. "I don't think Democratic leaders like Pelosi believe it is possible to improve Americans' lives that dramatically, so we don't even try." While Republicans continue to refine their national messaging and build momentum under President Trump's leadership, Democrats are facing a credibility crisis within their own ranks. These former insiders challenging sitting members aren't merely a flash in the pan for 2026's early campaign cycle. They're a sign of a party deeply unsure of how to respond to conservative policy gains, economic concerns, and a rejuvenated Republican article source: Former Democrat Hill staffers challenge the aging establishment in Congress: report
