Trump administration updates: Schumer continues to face calls for new leadership

The Trump administration is proposing that a swath of land along the United States border with Mexico be designated as federal land where military troops could carry out jurisdiction authorities, including temporarily holding migrants until federal law enforcement arrives, officials said.

The administration official said the proposal would make it easier for troops to operate along a border that is a mix of federal, state, public and private land.

Declaring it a federal designated area would make that easier to operate for military engineering teams that might be building temporary walls and would allow temporary detention of migrants.

The new proposal is not a use of the Insurrection Act, but instead would essentially be declared federal land like on a military installation, allowing military personnel to have the authority to protect their base.

In his interview with Fox News' Laura Ingraham, Trump showed off what appears to be a copy of the Declaration of Independence that is now hanging in the Oval Office.

The document was initially covered by the blue curtains, which Trump said was to protect the document.

"It's been in the vaults for many, many decades, and they said, we have to do something like drapes or something because the light eventually affects it," Trump claimed.

The original engrossed version of the document is on permanent display at the National Archives and Records Administration because it is extremely fragile and kept in very strict preservation conditions.

However, there are several historical printings and facsimiles of the document.

ABC News has asked the National Archives for more guidance on the origins of the document hanging in the Oval Office but has not received a response.

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt read aloud a statement from Secretary of State Marco Rubio and national security adviser Michael Waltz on Trump's phone call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.

The two officials described the conversation between the two leaders as "fantastic" and that Trump "fully briefed" Zelenskyy on his call on Tuesday with Russia's Vladimir Putin.

"The two leaders also agreed on a partial ceasefire against energy," according to the statement shared from the podium. "Technical teams will meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to discuss broadening the ceasefire to the Black Sea."

Zelenskyy, in his own statement following the call, said he "supported" ending strikes on energy infrastructure and that "Ukraine confirmed that we are ready to implement it."

"We instructed our teams to resolve technical issues related to implementing and expanding the partial ceasefire," Zelenskyy said. "Ukrainian and American teams are ready to meet in Saudi Arabia in the coming days to continue coordinating steps toward peace."

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt on Wednesday continued the administration's heavy criticism of the federal judiciary, even after Chief Justice John Roberts rebuked Republican calls to impeach judges.

"Americans can absolutely expect to see the continuation of the mass deportation campaign that has been successfully led by this president," Leavitt said from the briefing podium when asked about the legal battle over deportation flights to El Salvador.

"The judges in this country are acting erroneously," she said. "We have judges who are acting as partisan activists from the bench. They are trying to dictate policy from the president of the United States. They are trying to clearly slow-walk this administration's agenda, and it's unacceptable."

Leavitt added, "And not only are they usurping the will of the president and the chief executive of our country, but they are undermining the will of the American public -- tens of millions of Americans who duly elected this president to implement the policies that are coming out of this White House."

The attacks on judges from the Trump administration and their defiance of a court order over the weekend to turn around deportation planes have sparked concerns of a possible constitutional crisis.
