Fox News correspondent Lucas Tomlison reports on President Trumps Middle East visit. The Outnumbered panelists discuss the president's high-stakes meeting with Syrias president and what it signals for U.S. foreign policy.

While Democrats have largely ridiculed President Donald Trump's decision to accept a $400 million jet from the Qatari royal family on behalf of the U.S. government, Republicans have raised national security concerns and admitted they have not been briefed on the details of the deal.Fox News Digital asked Senate Republicans for their reaction to Trump deciding to accept the luxury Boeing jet from Qatar. While Trump continues his diplomatic trip through the Middle East, House Republicans are busy finalizing his "big, beautiful bill" at committee markups on Capitol Hill."I actually haven't paid attention to it," Sen. Bill Cassidy, R-La., said. "I'm sorry to be so out of the loop on that. I've just been thinking about Medicaid and about what the House is sending over."And Sen. Joni Ernst, R-Iowa, another Trump ally, said she didn't know enough about the deal to comment on it when pressed by Fox News Digital.DEMS CONDEMN TRUMP'S JET DEAL, CALL $400M GIFT 'UNCONSTITUTIONAL'"I need to find out from the administration what exactly is going on," Ernst added.TRUMP DEFENDS QATAR JUMBO JET OFFER AS TROUBLED BOEING FAILS TO DELIVER NEW AIR FORCE ONE FLEETRepublican senators Susan Collins of Maine, Dan Sullivan of Alaska and Eric Schmitt of Missouri also admitted they don't know the details of the deal.However, Collins, a Republican with a willingness to buck the party on certain issues, seemed to align more with Democrats' reaction to the gift, saying she suspected there could be issues within the GIFT Act, which prohibits federal employees from accepting gifts from foreign governments.Democrats have pointed to the emoluments clause of the U.S. Constitution as proof the Qatari gift is "unconstitutional." The emoluments clause states that no elected official should accept a gift from a foreign country without consent from Congress."My concern is his safety," Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla, told Fox News Digital. "Qatar supports Hamas. The Hamas leaders live in Qatar, so my concern is the safety of the president. How are we going to know that the plane is safe?"The U.S. Department of Defense is expected to retrofit the Boeing 747-8 luxury jet to be used as Air Force One. Some Republicans still have national security concerns."Qatar has a relationship with China, a relationship with Hamas. That would scare me," Scott admitted.But Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo, said a "free plane" sounds like a "good deal for the government."The Trump administration has continued to defend Qatar's gift to the United States. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt claimed it was not "Trump's plane" and that it was donated to the U.S. Air Force.On Wednesday morning, Trump signed a series of agreements with Qatar's Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani in Doha, Qatar, which included a Qatari purchasing agreement for 160 American Boeing planes, defense agreements and a declaration of cooperation between the countries.Trump defended his decision to accept the Qatari jet Tuesday, saying it would be "stupid" not to and emphasizing that he accepted it on behalf of the U.S. government, not himself."The Boeing 747 is being given to the United States Air Force/Department of Defense, NOT TO ME! It is a gift from a Nation, Qatar, that we have successfully defended for many years. It will be used by our Government as a temporary Air Force One, until such time as our new Boeings, which are very late on delivery, arrive. Why should our military, and therefore our taxpayers, be forced to pay hundreds of millions of Dollars when they can get it for FREE from a country that wants to reward us for a job well done," Trump said on Truth Social Tuesday."This big savings will be spent, instead, to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN! Only a FOOL would not accept this gift on behalf of our Country. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump added.The White House did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment about plans to discuss the deal with Congress.

Democratic California Rep. Eric Swalwell warned Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem that he has a "bullsh--- detector" during a heated exchange about a photo of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an El Salvadoran citizen who the Trump administration deported.Swalwell was grilling Noem about a photo of Abrego Garcias hand that shows alleged MS-13 tattoos during a Homeland Security budget hearing in Washington, D.C., on Wednesday."I want you to have credibility and I want you to be taken seriously. Is this doctored or is it not?" Swalwell asked, referring to the photo that President Donald Trump shared on social media. Swalwell was asserting that the letters "M," "S" and the numbers "1" and "3" above the tattoos were edited onto the photo.Noem tried to respond, saying that the deportation of Abrego Garcia was based off an investigation, not a photo, but was interrupted by Swalwell.TRUMP'S REMARKS COULD COME BACK TO BITE HIM IN ABREGO GARCIA DEPORTATION BATTLE"Madam Secretary, I have a seven-year-old, a six-year-old and a three-year-old," Swalwell said. "I have a bulls--- detector. I'm just asking you, is this doctored or not?"Noem replied that it was "unbelievable" that the lawmakers focus was on a photo and not on the importance of U.S. national security, before saying she had "no knowledge" of the photo in question.KILMAR ABREGO GARCIA'S LAWYERS ASK FOR MORE TRUMP ADMIN OFFICIALS TO TESTIFY, POSSIBLY FROM WHITE HOUSELast month, President Donald Trump shared a photo of himself in the Oval Office holding a picture of what the White House said were tattoos on Abrego Garcia's knuckles that are affiliated with the MS-13 terrorist group.While Swalwell continued to use his time to push Noem about the photo, the secretary responded that the mission of DHS is to secure the country and go after "the worst of the worst, the criminals, the bad actors.""Abrego Garcia is a known terrorist and member of MS-13, a wife beater and a human trafficker that should never have been in this country to begin with," Noem said.

CNN will be launching a new streaming product this fall, roughly three years after its expensive and short-lived CNN+ streaming service was shut down just one month after its launch.CNN CEO Mark Thompson made the announcement during a meeting with staff on Tuesday, according to The New York Times, which first reported on the news.CNN said the new streaming product will expand on its existing digital subscription service for customers, which currently gives paid subscribers unlimited access to articles on CNN's website and exclusive content.In a press release, CNN said the new service, called "All Access," will give customers a "simple and centralized way" to access their news content across all platforms their mobile app, connected TV apps and website.CNN STAFFERS DEEPLY FRUSTRATED AS LOOMING BUDGET CUTS, LAYOFFS SET TO IMPACT STRUGGLING NETWORK"CNN has been leading and innovating in video-led journalism since its inception, and the expansion of our subscription offering to include streaming embodies that pioneering spirit," Alex MacCallum, Executive Vice President, Digital Products and Services, said in a statement. "Were giving audiences an even more convenient way to access CNNs trusted reporting and original programmingbrought together in one intuitive, easy-to-use experience."CNN has not announced details about pricing or a release date yet.The announcement comes roughly three years after CNN's parent company, Warner Bros. Discovery, scrapped its previous streaming service, CNN+, one month after its launch and shortly after Discovery completed its merger with WarnerMedia, in April 2022.CNN+ was scrutinized at the time for relying on paid subscribers when the basic cable version of CNN was already struggling to attract an audience.FOX TO LAUNCH NEW STREAMING SERVICE FOX ONE THIS FALL"CNN+ is currently set up to fail with a subscription-only revenue model," Progress Ventures founder Nick MacShane wrote in Adweek at the time.The service, which CNN reportedly spent $300 million to build, failed to resonate with viewers and was mocked after leaked subscription data revealed startlingly low numbers.After pulling the plug on CNN+, then-CEO Chris Licht said, "As we become Warner Bros. Discovery, CNN will be strongest as part of WBDs streaming strategy which envisions news as an important part of a compelling broader offering along with sports, entertainment, and nonfiction content.""We have therefore made the decision to cease operations of CNN+ and focus our investment on CNNs core news-gathering operations and in further building CNN Digital," Licht continued. "This is not a decision about quality; we appreciate all of the work, ambition and creativity that went into building CNN+, an organization with terrific talent and compelling programming. But our customers and CNN will be best served with a simpler streaming choice."CNN's streaming product announcement comes after Fox announced its new all-encompassing streaming platform, "FOX One," will also debut this fall.FOX One, a wholly-owned streaming platform, will give customers live-streaming and on-demand access to all Fox brands, including FOX News, FOX Business, FOX Weather, FOX Sports, FS1 (Fox Sports 1), FS2, BTN (Big Ten Network), FOX Deportes, FOX Local Stations and the FOX network, as well as the option to bundle FOX Nation within one platform.Fox News' Brian Flood and Lindsay Kornick contributed to this article.

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy sparred with Democrats at a House Appropriations Subcommittee hearing on Wednesday, slamming Biden-era climate and social justice projects while also pushing back against claims 400 air traffic controllers have been let go.Duffy said such initiatives sucked money from other projects, and he pointed to the 2023 Harvard Supreme Court decision that effectively ended affirmative action in college admissions as justification for scrapping them. He said such Biden-era policies inflated project costs without contributing to safety or infrastructure quality."Our department, over the course of the last hundred days, has saved taxpayers roughly $9.5 billion," Duffy said in his opening statement. "Those savings include monies pulled from projects tied to social justice to climate requirements, also boondoggle projects, as well as bringing efficiencies to the department."TRANSPORTATION SECRETARY SAYS AIR TRAFFIC CONTROL SYSTEM UPDATES WILL TAKE TIME, BUT NOT 'JEOPARDIZE SAFETY'Rep. Jim Clyburn, D-S.C., took issue with the move and drew on personal experience to justify it."My late wife... had to walk two and a half miles to school every morning right past the White school, where the White kids had buses. That was social injustice," Clyburn said."Now all of a sudden we see this as wasteful government spending? I don't think so. I think this is a wise investment in a country that has challenges that we need all people involved in."Duffy, while praising Clyburns history and work as an elected official, clarified that he wasnt attacking the broader concept of social justice, but rather specific policy conditions under the Biden administration."What I see with the climate and the social justice requirements in the projects that you so dearly want built, that it's adding costs on," Duffy said. "It's costing more money. If we take out 5 to 10% climate or social justice, thats money we dont have for additional projects. And thats my concern."CONGRESS MOVES TO ADDRESS AIR TRAFFIC CONTROLLER CRISIS AS NEWARK MELTDOWN SPARKS ALARMDuffy also clashed with Rep. Norma Torres, D-Calif., who claimed that 400 air traffic controllers have been let go, accusing the Trump administration of eroding national air travel safety and delaying infrastructure projects."The administration undermined [safety efforts] by offering deferred resignation to controllers, and at least 400 of them were fired, resulting in delays to much-needed upgrades," Torres said.Duffy sharply pushed back, calling her statement a "falsehood" and flatly denying the claim."We have not fired havent let go anyone," Duffy said. "Air traffic controllers? You said we let 400 go. No one in air traffic control has been allowed to take a deferred resignation offer. Not one. Not 400. Zero."The hearing focused on reviewing the Transportation Departments FY 2026 discretionary budget request of $26.7 billion, a 5.8% increase from FY 2025. He promised to reduce bureaucracy, eliminate inefficiencies and reallocate savings to infrastructure."Our budget carefully focuses taxpayer resources on items critical to our most fundamental mission of safety and investing in transportation infrastructure," Duffy said.In terms of the recent outages at Newark Airport, he blamed them on missteps by the previous administration, citing an ill-planned transfer of airspace control from New York to Philadelphia."They didnt test and make sure the lines were hardened and they didnt move the STARS system, which helps interpret radar," Duffy said."Were working at lightning speed and pace to get this resolved," he said.To ease pressure on the system, the FAA is also working with airlines to reduce flight volumes, he said.

"It's got to be extremely discouraging to be one of your constituentsto see you fight for a terrorist like this." DHS Secretary Noem drags a Democratic congressman for continuing to push his partys narrative on due process for Abrego Garcia.
