White House staff just got an email that says there is “no reason for panic or alarm,” but the cafeterias in the two buildings next to the White House — the Executive Office Building and the New Executive Office Building — are closed because a staffer tested positive for Covid-19
Email says contract tracing has been done and no West Wing staff need to quarantine at the time.
This isn’t the same as the dining room in the West Wing, but dozens of staffers eat at these two places daily.

Breaking: Israel Defense Forces spokesman Daniel Hagari says “during combat in Shejaiya [northern Gaza], the IDF mistakenly identified three Israeli hostages as a threat. As a result, the troops fired toward them and they were killed.”
The three hostages who were killed are Yotam Haim, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Kfar Aza, Samer Talalka, who was kidnapped from Kibbutz Nir Am and a third male hostage whose family requested his name not be published.
Yotam Haim was 28 and “a heavy metal drummer with big musical dreams” who was alone in his Kibbutz Kfar Aza safe room when he was kidnapped. timesofisrael.com/age-doesnt-mat…

Justice Department spokesman: “Going forward, consistent with the President’s direction, this Department of Justice — in a change to its longstanding practice — will not seek compulsory legal process in leak investigations to obtain source information from members of the news..."
...media doing their jobs. The Department strongly values a free press, protecting First Amendment values, and is committed to taking all appropriate steps to ensure the independence of journalists.”
This statement comes weeks after Biden told me he wouldn't allow DOJ to seize reporters' records and hours after a top lawyer for NYT revealed that DOJ, under Trump & Biden, sought to obtain email logs of reporters to identify their sources and bound executives by a gag order.

On CNN, Trump's former national security adviser H.R. McMaster says his reported troop drawdown is "a huge risk." "I know why Americans are frustrated with what they are calling endless wars because we have been incompetent in our conduct of our campaigns in Afghanistan & Iraq.."
McMaster says it's "an effort worth sustaining. The danger is great to us. It is not a theoretical case." He says troop commitment was at a sustainable level.
"I think what Donald Trump has done is doubled down on the flaws of the Obama administration's approach to Afghanistan," McMaster adds, saying the bar was set too high.

Trump rarely speaks to press upon returning to DC. Can't recall when he ever has. But he did tonight in the dark to vigorously deny the Atlantic story. "I would be willing to swear on anything that I never said that about our fallen heroes...What animal would say such a thing?”
On McCain: "He had a first class, triple-A funeral — that lasted for 9 days by the way. I had to approve it. All of that had to be approved. And I approved it without hesitation and without complaint. I felt he deserved it.”
On canceling the visit to the Aisne-Marne American Cemetery: "The reason it couldn’t fly because it was raining about as hard as I’ve ever seen. And on top of that it was very, very foggy...And the Secret Service told me you can’t...There was no way I would have been able to."

Currently it doesn’t sound like any of the task force members are expected to join President Trump at today’s briefing. That could change, of course.
Kayleigh McEnany tells Fox News these will be short briefings where Trump is "mainly delivering information to the American people that's needed on therapeutics and vaccines." She says he will take questions.
Asked if anyone will join Trump at today's briefing, McEnany says, "You'll have to tune in." This morning the plan was to not have task force officials there. We'll see if that changes given the questions the WH has gotten.
