White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt addressed two dominant topics during her briefing that includes, Israel's strike on Hamas leaders in Qatar and Jeffrey Epstein document allegations. Regarding Qatar, Leavitt stated the strike doesn't advance Israeli or US goals, describing Qatar as a close ally. Trump reportedly feels "very badly" about the attack location but believes eliminating Hamas is worthy. The administration was notified before the strike, and Trump subsequently spoke with both Netanyahu and Qatar's Emir, assuring Qatar such attacks won't recur on their soil. The briefing also covered Epstein-related document controversies, though specific details weren't provided in this excerpt. These two subjects dominated the question-and-answer session throughout the press conference. (PC: History)
