Federal Judge Ruling. A federal judge in D.C. declined to block Trump's executive order on voting by mail. This decision rejects a request for an injunction to block the executive order concerning citizenship lists. The ruling maintains the current status of the executive order.

DOJ Investigation. The DOJ has launched an investigation into Trump accuser E. Jean Carroll. Reports indicate the investigation is probing whether E. Jean Carroll committed perjury. This development places the President Trump accuser under federal criminal investigation.

U.S. Military Action. The U.S. military conducted another strike against Iran. This action follows statements from Trump that Iran is "negotiating on fumes." The Pentagon also slashed NATO combat commitments as Trump pushes Europe to defend itself.

Former Judges and IRS. A bipartisan group of former judges has asked a court to investigate Trump's IRS deal. These ex-judges argue that Trump's IRS case should be reopened to probe possible 'fraud'. This move seeks further scrutiny into the financial arrangements.
