President Donald Trump on Sunday that he doesn't know if he is supposed to uphold the Constitution and relies on his lawyers to follow the law.
"I don't know. I have to respond by saying, again, I have brilliant lawyers that work for me, and they are going to obviously follow what the Supreme Court said," Trump told NBC in an interview that aired Sunday on "Meet the Press."
Trump also said that he wouldn't seek a third term as president, though he has teased the possibility several times, and that he wouldn't fire Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell before his term ends in 2026.
As he and his administration continue to mark 100 days in office, President Donald Trump will convene his top officials at 11 a.m. ET for a Cabinet meeting.
Later Wednesday, at 2 p.m. ET, Trump is set to give remarks on "investing in America," according to the White House.
At 8 p.m. ET, Trump is going to participate in a NewsNation town hall.
Unaccompanied children will not have to navigate U.S. immigration courts on their own after a federal judge Tuesday evening blocked the Trump administration from canceling a contract that provided lawyers for tens of thousands of children.
U.S. District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín issued a nationwide injunction that required the Trump administration to continue funding lawyers to represent children who are going through immigration proceedings without their parents or guardians.
Despite Congress appropriating more than $5 billion in part to ensure unaccompanied minors have lawyers in immigration court – a right enshrined in two separate laws – the Trump administration in March attempted to terminate the Department of Health and Human Services’ contract for the legal assistance.
Martínez-Olguín faulted the Trump administration for failing to provide any evidence or rationale to justify the decision to terminate the contract.
"The public interest is not served by maintaining agency actions that conflict with federal law and federal agencies’ own regulations," she wrote.
The same judge issued a temporary order earlier this month, and she justified the latest order by saying it was necessary ensure the Trump administration met its legal obligations.

A coalition of 24 state attorneys general is trying to save a federal program that sends tens of thousands of volunteers into their communities, suing the Trump administration over the Department of Government Efficiency’s recent cuts to AmeriCorps.
The lawsuit asks a federal judge to block the Trump administration from dismantling the 30-year-old agency devoted to encouraging volunteer service.
According to the states, the agency was recently targeted by Elon Musk’s DOGE, cutting $400 million in programs, putting 85% of its staff on leave and beginning a widespread reduction in force.
According to the acting head of AmeriCorps, representatives from DOGE arrived at the agency’s office earlier this month and began pursuing the "Administration goals to cut staff, contracts, contractors, and agency deliverables."
The state attorneys general argue that only Congress has the authority to dismantle the agency.
"The Administration’s abrupt decision to dismantle AmeriCorps flouts Congress’s creation of AmeriCorps and assignment of agency duties; usurps Congress’s power of the purse and thereby violates the Constitution’s separation of powers; and arbitrarily and capriciously— without any reasoned analysis—vitiates the agency’s ability to function consistent with its statutory mission and purpose," the lawsuit said.

President Donald Trump marked the first 100 days of his second term during a Michigan rally reminiscent of the 2024 campaign trail -- from the signage "Jobs! Jobs! Jobs!" to the Y.M.C.A soundtrack.
On immigration
Trump spent the majority of his remarks touting his immigration policy. He pointed to the invoking of the 1798 wartime Aliens Enemies Act, which, so far, has been used to deport hundreds of Venezuelan migrants his administration alleged to be gang members, affording them little to no due process.
"They come in from the Congo," Trump said. "They come in from Africa, the Congo. They emptied out their prisons into our country. But they come from Africa, Asia, South America. They come from all of the bad parts of Europe. That's why we've invoked the Alien Enemies Act to expel every foreign terrorist from our soil as quickly as possible."
On legislative priorities
Trump seemed to preview that his focus will shift to trying to pass tax cuts and implementing some of his tax-related campaign promises, including no tax on tips.
"We will pass the largest tax cuts in American history, and that will include no tax on tips, no tax on Social Security, no tax on overtime," Trump said.
On Fed Chairman Jerome Powell
"You're not supposed to criticize the Fed," Trump said. "You're supposed to let him do his own thing. But I know much more than he does about interest rates, believe me.”
About 100 protesters demonstrated outside the venue, expressing their displeasure with Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency.
Three protesters were escorted out by security after they caused disruptions to his speech.
