A federal judge has sharply criticized President Donald Trump's lawsuit over the leak of his tax returns, ruling that the case was filed for an "improper purpose." U.S. District Judge Kathleen Williams referred one of Trump's attorneys for possible disciplinary action, describing the lawsuit as an exercise in self-dealing because it targeted a federal agency under the president's own administration. The lawsuit ended in May with a settlement that created a $1.776 billion compensation fund for Trump allies and granted immunity from IRS audits. The fund was later abandoned. The judge's ruling does not reopen the case but raises questions about the conduct of the attorneys who filed it.

Five New York Times journalists have been subpoenaed to testify before a federal grand jury over their reporting on security concerns involving the new Air Force One. The subpoenas are tied to an investigation into how information about the aircraft’s security reached the newspaper. The reporters have been ordered to appear before the grand jury this week. Press freedom groups, including the National Press Club and the Committee to Protect Journalists, have criticized the move as a serious threat to journalism and the protection of confidential sources. The New York Times says it plans to challenge the subpoenas and is confident it will prevail in court.

The United States and Iran exchanged a new round of military strikes Tuesday, further escalating tensions and raising fears that the conflict could spiral into a broader regional war. The latest fighting came hours after President Donald Trump accused Iran of violating its agreement with the United States. Trump announced plans to reinstate a blockade targeting Iranian shipping and proposed a 20% fee on cargo moving through the Strait of Hormuz, one of the world's most critical energy corridors. U.S. forces launched a third consecutive night of strikes on Iranian targets, while Iran responded with attacks targeting U.S. allies across the Middle East. The renewed hostilities have effectively derailed an interim agreement that had been intended to pause the fighting, reopen the Strait of Hormuz and allow time for negotiations toward a permanent peace deal. The escalating conflict has renewed concerns about global energy supplies, pushed oil prices higher and increased fears of a wider war if diplomatic efforts fail.

President Donald Trump announced a new U.S. policy for the Strait of Hormuz, declaring the vital shipping lane will remain open "with or without Iran." In a post on social media, Trump said the United States would reinstate what he called the "Iranian Blockade," describing it as a measure that would prevent only Iranian ships and customers from entering or leaving the waterway while allowing all other nations to continue using the strait. Trump also said the United States would assume the role of "The Guardian of the Hormuz Strait," pledging to provide security for commercial shipping through one of the world's most strategically important waterways. As part of the proposal, Trump said the U.S. would seek reimbursement equal to 20% of all cargo shipped through the strait to help cover the costs of maintaining security. He said the process of implementing the plan would begin immediately. The announcement comes as tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate following days of military strikes and competing claims over control of the Strait of Hormuz, a key route for global energy supplies.
