Moscow denies reports that it rejected the United States’ Ukraine peace plan after meeting with a visiting American envoy. We’ll explain what the Kremlin is saying—and what we actually know about the diplomatic back-and-forth.

December 3rd, 2025: Gaza Militias Declare War On Terror Group & Juan Orlando Hernández Walks Free
In this episode of The President's Daily Brief:
A new strategy appears to be emerging in Gaza, as clan-based militias step into areas where Hamas is barred from operating. We’ll break down who these groups are, why they’re rising now, and whether they represent the first real alternative to Hamas’ rule.
Former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández — convicted of working alongside drug traffickers — is now a free man. We’ll explain what we’ve learned about the lobbying behind his pardon.
New reporting from The New York Times sheds light on the controversial double strike against a drug-trafficking boat, with officials saying Secretary of War Pete Hegseth ordered the first attack — but not the strike that killed survivors.
And in today’s Back of the Brief — Prime Minister Netanyahu receives a rare brushback from President Trump after Israeli strikes in Syria.

PDB Afternoon Bulletin | December 2nd, 2025: Minnesota Taxpayers May Be Funding Somali Terrorists & Kyiv Targets Moscow’s Tankers Again
In this episode of The PDB Afternoon Bulletin:
A major investigation out of Minnesota. New reporting from City Journal alleges that large-scale welfare-fraud networks may have funneled U.S. taxpayer dollars through Somali money-transfer systems — with some of those funds potentially reaching the terrorist group al-Shabaab.
And later in the show — an update on Kyiv’s growing pressure campaign against Russia’s so-called shadow fleet, as Ukraine claims a third strike in less than a week, this time on a Russian-flagged tanker off the Turkish coast.
