A Fox News host confronted Donald Trump in a heated interview with a long list of former staffers he appointed and later went against. Mr Trump was challenged on his hiring choices during his tenure, with Fox News anchor Bret Baier reminding him of his 2016 statement that he was "going to surround myself with only the best and most serious people”. "Well, I did do that," Mr Trump responded. "That’s tremendous. Look, we had the best economy we’ve ever had, the world has ever seen." Baier then read out a long list of his former allies who are now running against him in the 2024 presidential elections. He said his former vice president Mike Pence and his former ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley are running against him while his former secretary of state Mike Pompeo is not supporting him. “You mentioned national security adviser John Bolton. He’s not supporting you either. You mentioned attorney general Bill Barr. Says you shouldn’t be president again. Calls you ‘the consummate narcissist’ and ‘troubled man.’ You recently called Barr a ‘gutless pig’,” he said as Mr Trump watched. “Your second defence secretary is not supporting you. Called you irresponsible. This week, you called your White House chief of staff John Kelly ‘weak and ineffective’ and ‘born with a very small brain.’ You called your acting White House chief of staff Mick Mulvaney a ‘born loser’,” he added. "So, why did you hire all of them in the first place?" Baier asked, after adding more references to his aides and officials. Mr Trump said he had “phenomenal people” without naming anyone and praised his administration “for defeating ISIS”. “We had phenomenal people in the military. I’m not a fan of Milley and I’m not a fan of certain of the television people. But I knocked out ISIS, I defeated ISIS. They said, Mattis, it will take three years and I don’t think we can do it. I did it in a period of like four weeks,” Mr Trump said, referring to chair of the US joint chiefs of staff Mark Milley and former defence secretary James Mattis. "There’s a lot of people who praise you for your policies," Baier responded. "I just said that." "That’s true. Well, I mean, you just went through a list. But don’t forget, for every one you say, I had 10 that love us," Mr Trump said. “Because I hired ten to one that were fantastic... We had a great economy. We had phenomenal people in charge of the economy.” Mr Trump sat down for an interview for the first time since 2018 with Fox News’s Baier, who also challenged the former president’s election fraud claims during his coverage of the 2020 elections.

Rome has decided to open to the public the ancient square where Julius Caesar was supposedly stabbed to death. It was reported that authorities in Rome are opening a new walkway on the ancient site on Tuesday in a historic decision. The remains of ancient structures – including the one where Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC – have been opened to tourists. Julius Caesar was assassinated by about 40 Roman senators on the “Ides of March”, or 15 March, in 44 BC. The stabbing was immortalised in Shakespeare’s play Julius Caesar, in which the Roman dictator’s famous last words were “Et tu, Brute? (You too, Brutus?)” after he saw his friend Brutus among his murderers. The real life Caesar died in the capital’s central Largo Argentina square, which houses the remains of four temples dating as far back as the third century BC. These four ancient temples stand in the middle of one of the modern city’s busiest crossroads. But now authorities are throwing open the “sacred area” on the edge of the site where Julius Caeser was assassinated to tourists and history buffs. Visitors will be able to move through the site at ground level on the walkway and see the structures up close from Tuesday, reported Reuters. With help of funding from Italian luxury jeweller Bulgari, the grouping of temples can now be visited by the public. The ancient temples were first discovered and excavated during the demolition of medieval-era buildings in the late 1920s as part of dictator Benito Mussolini’s campaign to remake the urban landscape. According to local media, the tourist attraction will now be open every day except Monday and during some major holidays.

Nearly 100 letters containing a mysterious white powder were addressed to Donald Trump and several Republican lawmakers in Kansas, according to officials. At least two Republican politicians from the state said they received a letter from someone who referred to themselves as “your secret despirer”. The term is likely a play on the word despise. The Kansas Bureau of Investigation said the letters “containing suspicious white powder” have been received across the state of Kansas and sent for testing to determine the components of the substance. It said approximately 100 letters have been received as of Sunday and law enforcement and hazmat teams were working to safely collect the letters and investigate the incidents. “Currently, no injuries have been reported, but we ask everyone to remain vigilant in handling mail,” it said. Similar letters containing a note and a powdery substance were sent to prominent figures such as former president Donald Trump and Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas. However, before reaching their intended recipients, these letters were intercepted by the US Postal Inspection Service, sources told ABC news. The letters were found to be harmless by postal inspectors, sources said. One of the recipients of the compromised letter told ABC Kansas City affiliate KMBC that the note with the letter was intended to threaten. "There is some message. The message is somewhat unclear, but it was intended to be threatening," Republican state senator Molly Baumgardner said. She said the letter mailed to her had a suspicious white powder and a note which read in part that: “It is important not to choke on your ambition”. It was described as a “gift” by the sender who referred to themselves as "your secret despirer”. "Everybody has to be concerned," Ms Baumgardner told the network. "Everyone has to take this and any subsequent threats like this very seriously." Republican state representative Stephen Owens said he also received a letter with content similar to the one that Ms Baumgardner got, according to a copy he shared with CNN. KBI said they are working with the FBI and other law enforcement agencies to determine the motive behind the letter. "Preliminary tests have returned from this lab indicating the substance is presumptively negative for common biological agents of concern," the Kansas Bureau of Investigation said in an update, adding that it has been sent for further testing. Kansas state Republican representative Steve Owens told ABC News that it was “terrifying” to receive the letter that came in a standard white envelope. In April, Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg, a Democrat, received two letters containing white power just days after indicting Mr Trump. New York police were called to the mailroom at the office located in Lower Manhattan as a precaution and determined the white powder was nonhazardous. The first letter to Mr Bragg read: “ALVIN: I AM GOING TO KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!” Mr Bragg said he has received several “serious” threats of harm recently which has led to an increase in security protection.
