Leavitt says Trump was 'serious' about threat to Washington Commanders
While talking to reporters on Monday, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said President Donald Trump was "serious" about his threat to the Washington Commanders football team, specifically that the team should revert back to its former name or he "may put a restriction" on the team.
Trump said on Sunday that if the team does not change its name, he would not facilitate a deal for the team's new stadium to be built in Washington, D.C.
"My statement on the Washington Redskins has totally blown up, but only in a very positive way. I may put a restriction on them that if they don't change the name back to the original 'Washington Redskins,' and get rid of the ridiculous moniker, 'Washington Commanders,' I won't make a deal for them to build a Stadium in Washington," Trump wrote on his social media platform on Sunday.
700 Marines leaving Los Angeles mission
Last week the Pentagon announced 2,000 federalized California National Guardsmen were being moved out of Los Angeles and on Monday, the Pentagon is announcing that the 700 active-duty Marines will also be leaving.
The announcement was made by Sean Parnell, the Pentagon's chief spokesman, in a statement provided to ABC News.
"With stability returning to Los Angeles, the Secretary has directed the redeployment of the 700 Marines whose presence sent a clear message: lawlessness will not be tolerated. Their rapid response, unwavering discipline, and unmistakable presence were instrumental in restoring order and upholding the rule of law. We're deeply grateful for their service, and for the strength and professionalism they brought to this mission," Parnell said.
In the wake of the protests against Immigrations and Customs Enforcement raids in the city, 2,000 additional federalized California National Guardsmen will still remain in Los Angeles as part of the deployment to protect federal buildings and personnel.

Florida Republican Rep. Luna calls on Bondi to investigate Powell
Republican Rep. Anna Paulina Luna of Florida sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi calling for an investigation into Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell for "potential perjury and making false statements" -- calling into question testimony Powell delivered on June 25 at the Senate Banking Committee.
Luna questions Powell's testimony where he discussed the building renovations at the Fed's headquarters -- as controversy swirls over the ballooning cost of the upgrades. She contends that his testimony was not honest.
"These are not minor misstatements," Luna states. "Chairman Powell knowingly misled both Congress and executive branch officials about the true nature of a taxpayer-funded project. Lying under oath is a serious offense -- especially from someone tasked with overseeing our monetary system and public trust."
Luna said the intent of her letter is to "formally refer" Powell for criminal investigation and prosecution at the Department of Justice. Luna's referral is non-binding and does not automatically trigger any type of action by the Department of Justice.
