DAVID MUIR: But we do begin tonight with the scene playing out with President Trump and his Cabinet, and Elon Musk called on first. It was the president's first Cabinet meeting. The president inviting cameras in for more than an hour. His Cabinet secretaries sitting around the table, largely silent. The president first turning the floor over to Elon Musk, who defended his demand that some two million federal workers list what they’ve done in the last week, or risk being fired. And tonight, President Trump's new message to the million workers who haven't responded. ABC's Chief White House Correspondent Mary Bruce was in the room, she leads us off.
