FBI Touting Results from Operation Summer Heat 2.0; Trump, Tech Leaders Sign Voluntary Accord on AI Standards | NTD Good Morning (Sept. 30)
The FBI touted the results of its Operation Summer Heat 2.0 crackdown, which ran from June 1 to Aug. 31. The bureau said the operation included increased enforcement in cities across the country, with arrests rising by as much as 80 percent in some locations.
FBI Director Kash Patel said the bureau is focused on preventing violent crime before it happens.
President Donald Trump and several major technology companies, such as Google, Anthropic, Meta, and OpenAI, signed a voluntary accord outlining new controls for artificial intelligence. The companies signing the accord agreed that if they are developing advanced AI models, they’ll monitor their systems for risks, including cybersecurity, biosecurity, and chemical threats.
Trump launched a 32-day tour to support Republican nominees during the final stretch to the midterm elections. The president’s campaign travel was planned well in advance.
In December 2025, White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles said most administrations try to keep a sitting president out of the midterms, but this one would not. The president is also making a pledge to voters. He said if the GOP keeps both the House and Senate, every adult U.S. citizen will receive a $5,000 cash dividend.
