Trump's plans for warship fleet. And, deported Venezuelans must receive due process

Prosecutors have revealed that former President Donald Trump traveled on Jeffrey Epstein's private plane more frequently than previously acknowledged, intensifying scrutiny over Trump's past associations with the convicted sex offender. This revelation comes amid ongoing investigations into Epstein's network and the implications of his connections with high-profile individuals.

A segment of CBS News's 60 Minutes that investigated the Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo (Cecot) prison in El Salvador was pulled from the air by editor-in-chief Bari Weiss but later appeared online after being broadcast on a Canadian TV app. The segment, lasting nearly 14 minutes, provides a detailed examination of the prison's conditions and the treatment of detainees.

The U.S. Supreme Court ruled against former President Donald Trump on December 23, 2025, blocking his attempt to deploy National Guard troops to Chicago, citing a lack of necessity for such action. This decision follows a lower court's ruling that had already halted the deployment, marking a significant legal setback for Trump.

Newly released files related to Jeffrey Epstein indicate that former President Donald Trump flew on Epstein's private jet eight times during the 1990s, with some flights reportedly including Ghislaine Maxwell. This revelation comes from a prosecutor's email, intensifying scrutiny over Trump's past associations with Epstein, a convicted sex offender.

CBS has faced backlash after pulling a segment from its 60 Minutes program that was intended to investigate the Cecot prison in El Salvador, a facility linked to the Trump administration's deportation policies. The postponement was attributed to political reasons by the correspondent, while CBS stated that the segment required further work.
