Live updates: Trump leaves Super Bowl, directs Treasury to stop making pennies

President Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to win the Super Bowl on Sunday in an interview with Fox News’s Bret Baier that aired just before kickoff.

“I guess, you have to say that when a quarterback wins as much as he’s won, I have to go with Kansas City. I have to go with Kansas City. At the same time, Philadelphia has a fantastic game, it’s going to be a great game,” Trump told Baier.

During the interview, he also rebuked a federal judge’s decision that the Treasury Department should block access to anyone “other than civil servants with a need for access to perform their job duties” from its payment systems.

Tech billionaire and the anchor of the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) Elon Musk is calling for the impeachment of that federal judge.

The decision came after Musk saw his staffers attempt or succeed in accessing databases in various departments, supercharge a federal worker buyout program and shrink the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) workforce this week.
