Trump 2nd term updates: Trump attends the Super Bowl

Trump will revoke security clearances of several Biden officials and prosecutors who brought cases against him, according to a White House official.

These are largely symbolic actions, but it could block these officials from accessing federal buildings and classified materials.

This includes former Secretary of State Antony Blinken, former National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan, New York attorney general Letitia James, Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, and former deputy attorney general Lisa Monaco, according to the official.

Trump names those current and former officials in an interview with the New York Post, calling Blinken a “bad guy,” adding that he’ll “take away his passes.”

Letitia James does not have a security clearance.

Just days ago, Trump said he was revoking former President Joe Biden’s security clearances in retaliation for having his own pulled by Biden after the Jan. 6 riot. Presidents do not have security clearances, but Trump’s move terminates Biden’s access to intelligence briefings, which is a courtesy given to former presidents.

Trump has also revoked security details assigned to protect former government officials who have criticized him, including his own former secretary of state, Mike Pompeo, who faces threats from Iran, and former national security adviser John Bolton, Gen. Mark Milley and Dr. Anthony Fauci, former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases.

In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier, Trump was asked about a federal judge blocking Elon Musk and his DOGE team from gaining access to the Treasury Department’s payment and data systems, saying there was a risk of irreparable harm.

Asked what he made of that, Trump said he disagreed with the decision.

“I disagree with it 100% — I think it’s crazy. And we have to solve the efficiency problem. We have to solve the fraud, waste, abuse, all the things that have gone into the government,” he said without offering evidence.

Trump then evoked USAID, saying there’s waste in the organization.

“You take a look at the USAID, the kind of fraud in there? We’re talking about hundreds of millions of dollars of money that’s going to places where it shouldn’t be going where, if I read a list, you’d say, this is ridiculous, and you’ve read the same lists, and there are many that you haven’t even seen. It’s crazy. It’s a big scam.”

Asked about when the prices of goods will come down — an issue he campaigned on heavily — Trump didn’t directly answer a question from Fox News’ Brett Baier, but said the country is not “that rich right now.”

“Look, we’re not that rich right now. We owe $36 trillion,” he said. “That’s because we let all these nations take advantage of us.”

Asked how he would unite the country, Trump said “success” will unite people.

“I’d love to do it, but I would say this, we have to come together. But to come together, there’s only one thing that’s going to do it, and that’s massive success. Success will bring the country together,” Trump said.

In an interview with Fox News’ Bret Baier that aired Sunday, Trump said the difference between his current term and his last term is that he had much more opposition during his first time in office.

“Well, with the 45th, I had tremendous opposition, but I didn’t know people, and I didn’t have the kind of support that I needed. I put people in office, some great, some really great ones, but I had some that I wouldn’t have put I would have known better if it were a couple of years later, if I had a little more experience in D.C., I was a New York person, not a D.C. person, and I had a lot of opposition,” Trump said.

Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl, he said in an interview aired Sunday on Fox News.

Trump praised the Chiefs’ Patrick Mahomes as a “great quarterback,” and called his wife, Brittany Mahomes, “phenomenal.”

“She’s a Trump fan, she’s a MAGA fan, so I happen to love her,” Trump said.

Trump said the Philadelphia Eagles are also “fantastic.”

“It’s going to be just a great game,” he said.

Trump headed from Florida to New Orleans for the Super Bowl with a number of guests aboard Air Force One.

Among Trump’s guests were his son and daughter-in-law Eric and Lara Trump; daughter Ivanka Trump and her son; Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum and his wife; House Majority Whip Tom Emmer, R-Minn., and his wife; Sen. Dave McCormick, R-Pa., and his wife; Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., Senate GOP Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo.; Sen. Tim Scott, R-S.C., and his wife; Sen. Katie Britt, R-Ala.; Sen. Tommy Tuberville, R-Ala.; Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kansas; and Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., and his wife.

Upon arrival at the game, Trump will do a meet and greet with the game’s honorary coin toss participants: family members of the victims of the New Year’s ramming attack on Bourbon Street, members of the New Orleans Police Department, and emergency personnel, according to a White House official.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau’s headquarters in Washington will be closed all week as the Trump administration continues to take aim at the government watchdog charged with safeguarding American consumers’ finances, according to an email obtained by ABC News.

“Dear Colleagues: The DC Headquarters Building will be closed this week (2/10-2/14). Employees and contractors are to work remotely unless instructed otherwise from our Acting Director or his designee,” the email sent to staff on Sunday from CFPB Chief Operating Officer Adam Martinez reads.

The CFPB’s move to close its offices to staff mimics the playbook Elon Musk’s DOGE used as it moved to shut down USAID last week, as staff were informed late Sunday that offices would be closed and they should work from home.

ABC News previously reported that Russell Vought, the newly confirmed director of the Office of Management and Budget, had been named acting director of the CFPB and informed staff over the weekend to “cease all supervision and examination activity” and “cease all stakeholder engagement” effective immediately.

DOGE staffers gained access to CFPB on Thursday and the agency’s chief operating officer informed staff via email that DOGE employees had entered the agency’s offices in D.C. and would require “read-only access” to key internal systems, according to an email reviewed by ABC News.

Over the weekend, Elon Musk used his social media platform X to target a federal judge who blocked his DOGE team from accessing sensitive taxpayer data, attacking the judge as “corrupt,” with seemingly no evidence of corruption beyond the billionaire’s disagreement with the ruling.

Since the ruling on Friday, Musk has posted repeatedly on X to his over 216 million followers, attacking U.S. District Judge Paul A. Engelmayer as “corrupt,” calling for his impeachment, and appearing to suggest defying the court’s order — including amplifying a post with the judge’s name that now has more than 6 million impressions.

Musk’s targeting of the judge mirrors his previous attack campaigns, where he has turned his own social media platform and massive following into political pressure.

Asked if he trusts Elon Musk, President Trump said the billionaire is “not gaining anything” from his position with the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.

“He’s not gaining anything. In fact, I wonder how he can devote the time to it. He’s so into it. But I told him to do that,” Trump told Fox News’ Bret Baier in an excerpt from an interview that will air Sunday afternoon ahead of the Super Bowl.

Trump told Baier the next government agency he’ll have Musk investigate is the Department of Education, adding that he was elected to reduce government waste.

“Then I’m going to tell him very soon, like maybe in 24 hours, to go check the Department of Education. He’s going to find the same thing. Then I’m going to go to the military. Let’s check the military, we’re going to find billions — hundreds of billions of dollars of fraud and abuse. And you know the people elected me on that.”

The full interview with Fox will air Sunday afternoon.

Trump is golfing at his Trump National Doral Golf Club in West Palm Beach with pro golfer Tiger Woods this morning, according to a White House official.

The president will attend the Super Bowl in New Orleans later today, where he’ll sit in New Orleans Saints’ owner Gayle Benson’s box. They’ll be joined by House Speaker Mike Johnson, who is from Louisiana.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) — the government watchdog charged with safeguarding American consumers’ finances — has come to a virtual standstill Saturday night, according to an internal email obtained by ABC News.

The email sent late Saturday night directs all CFPB staff to “cease all supervision and examination activity” and “cease all stakeholder engagement” effective immediately. The agency’s website shows an error message and its X account was also taken down.

The email was sent by Russell Vought, the newly confirmed director of the Office of Management and Budget, who is also now the acting director of the CFPB. Vought was an architect of “Project 2025.”

In a post on X, Vought said the CFPB’s funding, which comes through the Federal Reserve, is “now being turned off.”

Vought’s internal email also says that, unless approved by him or required by law, employees, contractors and other personnel of the CFPB cannot issue any proposed or final rules, open any new investigations or issue any public communications.

On Friday, Elon Musk tweeted “CFPB RIP.” Sources previously told ABC News that staffers for Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency had gained access to internal systems at the CFPB.

The CFPB is a regulatory agency established by law after the 2008 financial crisis.

The agency says, since its creation in 2011, it has returned nearly $21 billion to American consumers.

Under the Biden administration, the CFPB took aggressive steps to take on the banking and financial services industries, issuing rules that would cap credit card overdraft fees and remove medical debt from Americans’ credit reports.

Despite verbal assurances from Secretary of State Marco Rubio about allowing lifesaving humanitarian aid to continue, international aid and development work funded by the U.S. government have almost entirely come to a halt, multiple leaders in humanitarian aid confirmed to ABC News.

Many organizations say they are now worried food from U.S. farmers that had been designated for some of the poorest countries and programs to help malnourished children in conflict zones is at risk of perishing.

One humanitarian aid leader, who asked that ABC News not use their name as many organizations are worried about retribution from the Trump administration, described sitting on over 1,000 tons of food in Mozambique that needs to be distributed.
