Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a previously fervent supporter of President Trump, said that her fellow Republicans made fun of the president behind his back. "I watched many of my colleagues go from making fun of him, making fun of how he talks — making fun of me, constantly, for supporting him — to, when he won the primary in 2024, they all started — excuse my language, Lesley, kissing his a– and decided to put on a MAGA hat for the first time," Greene told CBS News's Lesley Stahl on "60 Minutes" during an interview set to air Sunday night. |

Rep. Henry Cuellar (D-Texas) on Sunday responded to President Trump, who said he regretted pardoning the Texas Democrat from bribery charges earlier this week.
"I was at church this morning with my wife. I prayed for the president, I prayed for his family, and I prayed for the presidency, because if the president succeeds, the country succeeds," Cuellar said on Fox News's "Sunday Morning Futures with Maria Bartiromo." |

Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.), a former Black Hawk helicopter pilot and combat veteran, said the military operation that killed 11 alleged drug traffickers, including two initial survivors, in the Caribbean in early September was "essentially murder." |

Reince Priebus, President Trump's former chief of staff, said Sunday that the president is frustrated with how Republicans are addressing affordability.
"What he's cranky about is the fact that some of the messaging, I think, on the Republican side isn't where it needs to be," Priebus said on ABC News's "This Week."
"It's going to take some time for [the economy] to come around," he added. "And I think that impatience of that time of this issue coming around, they're getting hammered on affordability, it's making him cranky." |

| Democratic Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) said Sunday it is "pretty clear" that the Trump administration does not want to release video of a second strike on an alleged drug boat in September.
"It's no different than any of the dozen-plus videos they've already released. It seems pretty clear they don't want to release this video because they don't want people to see it, because it's very, very difficult to justify," Smith told host George Stephanopoulos on ABC News's "This Week."

Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) said Sunday that the U.S. "certainly" did not know the identity of every individual on the first alleged drug-trafficking boat it struck in September.
"We might have known one or two, I don't know, but we certainly didn't know the identities of all 11. So nobody can characterize who all these people in any of these boats are," Himes told host Margaret Brennan on CBS News's "Face the Nation." |

| Sen. Tom Cotton (R-Ark.) said Sunday that he backs the release of video of a controversial second strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean, as pressure mounts on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.
"Do you think that the video should be released in full to the American public, as President Trump has said he would support?" NBC News's Kristen Welker asked Cotton, who saw the video, on "Meet the Press."
"So, I personally don't — I don't have any problem with it. It's not gruesome. I didn't find it distressing or disturbing. It looks like any number of — a dozen — of strikes we've seen on Jeeps and pickup trucks in the Middle East over the years," Cotton, an Army veteran, replied. |

Rep. Jim Himes (D-Conn.) said Sunday that his Republican colleagues are expressing concerns privately after an inspector general report found that Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth jeopardized troop safety and violated Pentagon policy.
"Absolutely, they're saying it in private," Himes told host Margaret Brennan on CBS News's "Face the Nation." "In public, of course, they're saying that it was perfect exoneration, right?" |

Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) on Sunday pushed for the release of video of a second strike on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean.
"Frankly, if the Pentagon and our Defense secretary are so proud of what they're doing, let the American people see that video. Let the American people see two people standing on a capsized boat — or sitting on a capsized boat and deliberately killed, and decide for themselves whether they're proud of what their country is doing," the California senator told NBC News's Kristen Welker on "Meet the Press." |

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said Sunday that there will be no restrictions on how children can use "Trump accounts." "So, in essence, it is a trust fund. It is a piece of the American economy for every child, and they will be able to take it out when they're 18, or they can convert it to a more IRA-type program and keep it for their retirement," Bessent told host Margaret Brennan on CBS News's "Face the Nation." |
