President-elect Donald Trump, during a lengthy, wide-ranging news conference in Florida on Monday, threatened to dismiss federal employees working from home who don’t return to the office, promised more lawsuits against the media, defended his embattled defense secretary pick, said he would consider a pardon for New York Mayor Eric Adams and said he has a “warm spot” in his heart for TikTok, the social media app that faces a U.S. ban.
At the outset of the news conference, Trump appeared with SoftBank CEO Masayoshi Son to announce the Japanese firm’s major investment plans in the United States.
