14.01.2025 โ‡ข Fox Host's War Dance in Senate Fire
โŒจSpecial counsel Jack Smith released his final report at midnight, claiming Trump would have been convicted in the election interference case had he not won presidency. The report's timing, hours before Trump's second inauguration, sparked debate about DOJ's political messaging.

Los Angeles fires reached new intensity as the National Weather Service issued its most severe warning. Death toll passed 30, with reports of widespread looting in evacuated neighborhoods. Governor Newsom proposed a $2.5B "Marshall Plan" for rebuilding, while Biden announced one-time payments to victims.

Pete Hegseth's Defense Secretary confirmation hearing dominated afternoon coverage. The former Fox News host faced questions about sexual assault allegations, past statements on women in combat, and drinking habits. Republicans defended him as a "change agent," while Democrats challenged his qualifications and experience. The hearing's contentious nature highlighted deepening partisan divisions over military leadership.
