Trump's Meeting With Republicans Went Off the Rails - Adam Kinzinger



Trump went to Capitol Hill expecting a show of unity. Instead, it turned into a shouting match with members of his own party.

According to multiple reports, Trump spent a closed-door meeting with Senate Republicans attacking GOP senators who broke with him over Iran. One Republican senator says Trump even told him to "sit down" during the confrontation. Adam Kinzinger breaks down what happened behind closed doors, why several Republicans changed their votes just hours later, and what it reveals about loyalty, pressure, and power inside today's Republican Party.

Plus: Trump says he personally pressured a federal prosecutor during California's gubernatorial primary, raising new questions about presidential involvement in election matters. The U.S. Postal Service faces legal scrutiny after testimony about withholding mail ballots under a Trump executive order. And NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte visits the White House, using public praise to keep the alliance together as tensions over Iran continue to grow. - 06/25/2026.
