Trump says he spoke to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang today: “I did speak to him today just to see if he’s feeling all right,” Trump told reporters in the White House briefing room. “’How you doing?’ And I asked him about that, and he said he had absolutely no idea that the person in question was a spy. I asked him that question. ‘Did you have any idea that she was a spy?’ Said, ‘I had no idea that she was a spy,’ and I really believe him.”

Statement from a senior administration official on the knives out for Hegseth:

“Anyone looking to point fingers should start looking for another scapegoat. The Pentagon and the White House made their positions crystal clear tonight. They are coming out swinging in support of Hegseth and that should tell you everything you need to know.

Suggesting he’s looking for an exit or preparing to step aside is delusional thinking and misreading the situation. He’s not going anywhere. He’s going to remain focused on his mission, he won’t be distracted by the noise, and he’s not going to let the pressure dictate his future.

The idea that the Left and no name sources can manufacture enough controversy to force him out is wishful thinking. He’s been through way tougher fights and this fight has only begun. Never bet against Pete.”

From the White House side: Trump personally likes Hegseth very much, and that remains true despite the shellacking on Tuesday, multiple White House officials told me

It is no secret to those in the West Wing that Hegseth is a primary target for Dems. But Trump has told his aides that he believes Hegseth should fight back against those efforts -- the question is if this changes as the demand for accountability grows louder

Trump has, however, asked allies about his performance in recent months, and has gotten feedback from some of his most senior advisers/ Cabinet officials who have soured on Hegseth as the war drags on
