Trump says 3rd term isn't a joke, despite term limit

Five House Democrats sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi on Wednesday requesting that she appoint an independent special counsel to investigate the national security breach involving the Signal group chat.

"This remarkably careless and dangerous episode calls into question the integrity of our national security procedures and the security of our most sensitive military and intelligence information. Given the gravity of this error and the need for independent review, we believe that your appointment of a special counsel to investigate the conduct of these senior administration officials in this case is both urgent and necessary," the letter reads.

The letter came from Reps. Dan Goldman, Jason Crow, Mikie Sherrill, Pat Ryan and Wesley Bell.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Wednesday is set to visit the prison in El Salvador that took in migrants at the center of the deportation battle playing out in U.S. courts.

Noem will visit the Terrorist Confinement Center with the Salvadorian minister of justice, according to a U.S. Department of Homeland Security official, and will later meet with President Nayib Bukele of El Salvador.

Noem said President Donald Trump talked to her about "sending the message worldwide" that people shouldn't illegally be entering the United States.

President Donald Trump is participating in a Women's History Month Event at the White House at 3 p.m. ET on Wednesday.

At 1 p.m. ET, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt will hold a briefing, where she's expected to be peppered with questions on the Signal group chat involving top officials discussing a U.S. attack on Houthis in Yemen -- a message chain that came to light after a journalist was inadvertently added.

Election experts tonight are sounding the alarm Tuesday evening about President Donald Trump's executive order on election rules, with one calling it "an illegal power grab that would block tens of millions from voting."

Wendy Weiser, the vice president for democracy at the nonprofit Brennan Center, took issue with ID requirements to register to vote laid out in the order, as well as threats to revoke funding from states that don't comply.

Sam Tarazi, the co-founder of the nonpartisan Voting Rights Lab, said the order was sure to face legal challenges in court. “President Trump’s executive order is more than a direct affront to our Constitution and the checks and balances that have secured our elections for generations," she said.

Among other statements, the order claims the U.S. "has not adequately enforced Federal election requirements that…prohibit non-citizens from registering to vote."

But recent audits -- including in Republican states -- have shown that noncitizen voting is extremely rare.

In Georgia, for example, an audit of the state's voter rolls last year found just 20 noncitizens out of 8 million registered voters. A similar audit of Iowa's 2.3 million voters revealed 87 instances where individuals cast ballots and later self-reported as noncitizens.

Some election officials are praising Trump's move. That includes Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger, a Republican who once feuded with Trump over false claims of election fraud.

“Thank you, President Trump, for this executive order ensuring that only American citizens decide American elections," Raffensperger said in a statement. "This is a great first step for election integrity reform nationwide."
