Trump's Iran strike timing And White House disputes

Date unknown

Baier and Jacqui Heinrich report Trump's afternoon statement that he will not attack Iran before the November midterms and that talks are productive, after The Atlantic reportedly described Pentagon strike options. Heinrich recaps his Texas turnout and economic appeal and airs his claim of record oil movement through Hormuz. She contrasts the city-missile comparison he repeated in Texas with his October 8 explanation that it compared higher gasoline costs with cities being bombed. The report also covers alleged anger over James Blair and Chris LaCivita's paid Balkan consulting and Trump's conditional conflict-of-interest response. On separate Guilfoyle allegations, Vance says he dislikes selling government access but lacks the full details; Heinrich reports an inspector-general inquiry into her ambassadorial tenure, complaints about requests and lifestyle, State's refusal to comment and no White House response.

Fox's October 8 White House report says the State Department inspector general has reportedly opened an inquiry into Kimberly Guilfoyle's ambassadorial tenure after complaints about unreasonable requests and a lavish lifestyle. State declines comment and the White House has not responded in the report. The inquiry and its start date are not independently confirmed by this source.
