Thune hits breaking point with Trump
John Thune, the Senate majority leader, has publicly distanced himself from President Trump on multiple issues, including the appointment of Bill Pulte as acting director of national intelligence and Trump's proposal for an 'anti-weaponization' fund. Thune emphasized the need for professional leadership in intelligence and criticized Trump's demands to remove the Senate parliamentarian and endorse candidates.
