Trump Endorses Rep. Mike Johnson for Speaker; UN Leader Rebuffs Terrorist Sympathy Claims

Former President Donald Trump threw his support behind Rep. Mike Johnson (R-La.) Wednesday morning. The GOP's latest nominee for Speaker of the House will see if he can win the gavel this afternoon.

The U.N. secretary-general has rejected accusations that he showed sympathy for terrorism, saying he was shocked by what he called the "misinterpretations" of his statements to the U.N. Security Council about Israel and Hamas.

The head of Lebanon's Hezbollah terror group has met with top leaders of the Palestinian terrorist factions Hamas and Islamic Jihad. They reportedly discussed what measures they would be taking to achieve victory in Gaza.
