If they pretend they haven’t heard about the story of the day, end the interview right there.

"U.S. intelligence and military officials determined [these eleven individuals] could be lethally targeted."

I trust we will learn the names of these officials.

Kristi Noem: Joseph N. Mazzara told me that I could do what I wanted to.
