Trump says he's spoken to Deputy FBI Director Dan Bongino amid resignation rumors

President Donald Trump was asked on Sunday if Dan Bongino was still his FBI deputy director amid the growing fallout over the Justice Department's decision not to disclose any more records from its investigations into deceased sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Multiple sources confirmed to ABC News earlier this week that Bongino had recently suggested to allies he may resign following days of growing outrage over a memo that stated the FBI and DOJ planned to make no future public disclosures related to its review of Epstein's case.

Speaking to reporters on Sunday, Trump said Bongino was in "good shape."

"I did, I spoke to him today, Dan Bongino, very good guy. I've known him a long time," Trump said. "I've done his show many, many times, and he sounded terrific, actually. No, I think he's in good shape," the president added.

Trump admin appeals judge's restrictions on California immigration raids

President Donald Trump's administration has filed an appeal intending to reverse the temporary halt on certain immigrant apprehension tactics allegedly employed by the Department of Homeland Security.

The filing to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals comes after a federal judge on Friday temporarily barred the Trump administration from conducting broad, untargeted immigration stops and arrests in parts of California.

The temporary restraining order blocked DHS from making arrests of people based solely on factors like race, accent, the type of work they do and their presence at a particular location -- such as day laborer pick up sites and agricultural sites.

The ruling only applies to the seven counties covered by the Central District, which includes Los Angeles and Ventura counties.

Treasury Secretary Bessent claims several trade announcements coming as deadline looms

As time ticks on President Donald Trump's Wednesday tariff deadline, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent claimed the administration would be making "several announcements in the next 48 hours."

"We are going to have several announcements in the next 48 hours. And Joe, I think what President Trump is concerned about is the quality of the deals, not the quantity, as you could imagine," he said during an appearance on CNBC's Squawk Box.

Bessent claimed that his inbox has been full of offers after Trump elevated his threats to re-impose reciprocal tariff rates.

But similar to Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, Bessent noted that Aug. 1 would be the day when the rates actually go into effect.

"So it's going to be a busy couple of days," Bessent said. "But importantly too that President Trump has said that they would the countries would not go back to the reciprocal rate until Aug. 1."

Asked about the trade letters Trump claims he will be sending to America's trading partners starting on Monday, Bessent called them "standard" letters with an option to continue negotiations. Bessent also previewed a meeting with Chinese officials "in the next couple of weeks" to advance trade talks.
