President Hosts Cybercrime Crackdown Roundtable, Promptly Firewalls Himself From the Proceedings
A day after nodding off through his own fraud whistleblower rollout, the President convened Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, Labor Secretary Markwayne Mullin, FBI Director Kash Patel, and Attorney General Todd Blanche in the East Room to tout a cybercrime crackdown — nearly $1 billion in frozen cyber-currency, $1.6 billion in prevented losses — before appearing to firewall himself from the proceedings entirely. As Hegseth detailed the administration's response to foreign cyberattacks, cameras caught the Commander-in-Chief's eyelids sinking shut for stretch after stretch, repeating the trick minutes later as Mullin took his turn at the microphone. It marked the second such on-camera doze in as many days, with one outlet dryly noting he'd 'also fallen asleep yesterday.' The White House did not respond to requests for comment, leaving cybercrime's best-guarded asset on the day a very well-sealed pair of eyelids.
