Overview

• CNN anchor Kasie Hunt pressed State Department spokesperson Tammy Bruce on whether Secretary of State Marco Rubio had communicated with El Salvador President Nayib Bukele about Kilmar Abrego Garcia's deportation case.
• Bruce refused to confirm Rubio's diplomatic communications, stating she would not discuss 'what world leaders the secretary speaks to' or his day-to-day decisions.
• The deportation of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a Maryland resident, to El Salvador despite a U.S. federal judge's order has drawn significant legal and human rights concerns.
• Bruce defended Rubio's ability to manage his dual roles as Secretary of State and interim National Security Advisor, emphasizing his 'boundless energy' and confidence in the president's trust.
• Senator Mark Warner has criticized Rubio's dual responsibilities, calling it 'too much' for one individual to handle effectively.
