What recent events are unfolding in Iran?
Waiting for what's next in Iran. I'm Ted Lindner, Fox News. President Trump repeating his support for protesters in Iran on Tuesday. Fox's Jeff Paul with more.
President Trump, despite a communication blackout in Iran, is sending a message to those very people demonstrating out in the streets. Keep protesting. Take over your institutions if possible. And save the name of the killers and the abusers that are abusing you. You're being very badly abused. The president proclaiming that help is on the way shortly after the U.S.-based human rights activist news agency revealed that more than 2,000 had been killed amid the ongoing protests. When asked to elaborate, Trump said simply there's going to be a lot of help on the way and in different forms, including economic help.
President Trump has said he's considering military action as a potential response to the crackdown on protests.
How is President Trump responding to the protests in Iran?
He's canceled all meetings with Iranian officials until the killing of protesters ends. Iran says it's ready for any US intervention and accused the president of inciting violence. The Justice Department says it will not open a civil rights investigation into the fatal shooting of a woman by a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer in Minneapolis. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch said there's currently no basis for such an inquiry, even as an FBI investigation continues. Federal officials say the officer acted in self-defense. Well, critics warn the decision comes before a full review of the evidence. Minnesota officials have also raised concerns after federal authorities blocked the state from accessing evidence and said it lacks jurisdiction.

Fox confirming this morning the interim government in Venezuela has released at least four U.S. citizens who were imprisoned under the Maduro regime. The State Department calling it an important step in the right direction by the interim authorities. President Trump weighing military action in Iran, accusing the Iranian government of killing protesters rising up against the Iranian regime. As many as 2,500 dead so far. Pennsylvania Democrat Senator John Fetterman says he's standing by plans for intervention.
I'm open to this idea that there could be a catalyst or some kinds of engagement or an action from our nation could put things over the top and break this awful regime.
That sound courtesy of Fox's Hannity. Former President Bill Clinton, no show on Capitol Hill Tuesday, failing to appear before the House Oversight Committee to answer questions about Jeffrey Epstein. Fox's Bill Malusion from Capitol Hill has more.
Despite being under a federal subpoena, Clinton failed to appear for a scheduled deposition with the House Oversight Committee as part of its Jeffrey Epstein investigation. Hillary Clinton is also subpoenaed to give her deposition. But in a letter, Clinton's lawyers called the subpoenas, quote, invalid and legally unenforceable. Also not in attendance any of the Democrats on the committee. The House would have to vote to approve holding former President Bill Clinton in contempt of Congress for not showing up. That vote would require a simple majority to pass. If it does pass the House, it then gets referred to the Department of Justice, where it will be all up to AG Pam Bondi to decide if she wants to prosecute the former president.
The former president was known to be friendly with Epstein before his federal indictment, but was never officially implicated in any wrongdoing related to him.
