Kevin Hassett, director of the National Economic Council, said Sunday that he doesn’t believe in recent polls that show Americans’ negative feelings about the economy.
“Ahead of an election cycle, the fact that there’s, you know, possibly partisan pollsters telling us that the people are really really depressed, it’s a classic Democrat move, and I just don’t buy it,” Hassett told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

A lawyer for a woman who alleges she was gang raped at Cornell University in 2024 said he thinks there were more than seven men involved in the incident.
“I’m not even sure we have everybody who participated in this assault because my client was blacked out during periods of time, and that’s reported in these statements. We don’t even know the people we have are the people we definitively know,” Thomas Giuffra told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union.”

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito said in a rare televised interview Sunday on Fox News that he tries not to pay too much attention to President Trump’s frequent praise of him — and recent criticism of some of his fellow justices on the bench.
“I put all of that out of my mind. I trust that my colleagues put all of that out of their minds,” Alito told “Fox News Sunday” host Shannon Bream when asked about the president’s recent comments.

Former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (D) on Sunday pushed Democrats to focus on ethics reform instead of a third impeachment of President Trump if they win back power in Congress after the midterm elections.
“I’m for the investigations. Hold this administration accountable, which is what the Republican Congress and Senate has refused to do, which is why rather than set up a wedding party in your registry at Williams Sonoma, this administration allows Donald Trump Jr. to allow the Kremlin to be where you register,” Emanuel told NBC News’s Kristen Welker on “Meet the Press,” referencing a ProPublica report about a Russian oligarch funding the president’s son’s wedding celebration.

Democratic Rep. Brad Schneider (Ill.) on Sunday criticized the Trump administration’s handling of the Iran war, saying officials have not explained their strategy for the conflict.
“We need to explain to the American people what the goals are in trying to prevent, and we have to prevent Iran from ever getting a nuclear weapon, but the administration has failed to present a strategy and the actions they've taken have not moved us any closer to that goal,” Schneider told host Chris Stirewalt on NewsNation’s “The Hill Sunday.”
