President Trump has signed an executive order to restrict Wall Street firms from buying single-family homes. It’s a move designed to stop wealthy investors from competing with individual homebuyers. The president says such investors “should not buy single-family homes that could otherwise be purchased by families.�� The executive order comes as the administration works to address voter affordability concerns ahead of this year’s congressional elections.
A judge says congressional cosponsors of a law forcing the Justice Department to release its files on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell can sue to seek a court-appointed observer to ensure compliance. But the judge says the two House members lack the legal right to make their demand as part of Maxwell's criminal case. The lawmakers had asked the judge last week in a bid to speed the public disclosure of files related to investigations into Epstein and Maxwell, his longtime confidant. The judge also says the lawmakers are at liberty to use their legislative tools to improve oversight of the Justice Department.
Meanwhile, a House committee has advanced resolutions to hold former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress over the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The Republican-controlled House Oversight Committee approved the contempt of Congress charges in bipartisan votes. It sets up a potential vote in the House. Democrats were split on the measures. A number of progressive lawmakers called for full transparency in the Epstein investigation even if it meant threatening a former Democratic president if he refuses to testify.
President Donald Trump has decided to drop his threat of imposing tariffs on several European countries. He announced a new framework with NATO on Arctic security. This change of heart comes after his speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos earlier Wednesday, where he said the U.S. would not use force to pursue control of Greenland.
Posting on Truth Social Trump wrote:
"Based upon a very productive meeting that I have had with the Secretary General of NATO, Mark Rutte, we have formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations. Based upon this understanding, I will not be imposing the Tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st. Additional discussions are being held concerning The Golden Dome as it pertains to Greenland. Further information will be made available as discussions progress. Vice President JD Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, and various others, as needed, will be responsible for the negotiations — They will report directly to me. Thank you for your attention to this matter!
DONALD J. TRUMP
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA"
U.S. President Donald Trump chided Mark Carney in a speech in Davos on Wednesday after the Canadian prime minister delivered a rousing address on a "rupture" in the international rules-based order.
In a wide-ranging speech at the World Economic Forum annual meeting in Switzerland, Trump touched on everything from his aim to acquire Greenland to his plans for Venezuela and the next chairman of the Federal Reserve.
But he reserved strong words for Carney, who received a standing ovation for his remarks at the forum on Tuesday.
"They should be grateful to us, Canada. Canada lives because of the United States. Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements," Trump said.
In his special address, Carney expressed Canada's desire to forge new alliances with like-minded countries as he navigates a tricky relationship with the Trump administration in Washington.
"We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition," Carney said, pointing to how "great powers" were using economic integration as weapons and tariffs as leverage. He did not directly name Trump or the United States.
"We know the old order is not coming back. We shouldn't mourn it. Nostalgia is not a strategy," he said.
Trump has previously threatened to annex Canada, and on Tuesday shared an AI image of a map showing Canada and Greenland as part of the United States.
Carney's office declined to comment on Trump's speech.
As posted by @DHSgov on X:
"At 7:05AM PST, DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Compton, California, to arrest a violent criminal illegal alien from El Salvador, William Eduardo Moran Carballo, who is involved in a human smuggling operation and has two prior arrests for inflicting corporal injury on a spouse or cohabitant. An immigration judge issued him a final order of removal in 2019.
In a dangerous attempt to evade arrest, this criminal illegal alien weaponized his vehicle and rammed law enforcement. Fearing for his life and safety, an agent fired defensive shots. The criminal illegal alien was not hit and attempted to flee on foot. He was successfully apprehended by law enforcement. The illegal alien was not injured, but a CBP officer was injured.
These dangerous attempts to evade arrest have surged since sanctuary politicians, including Governor Newsom, have encouraged illegal aliens to evade arrest and provided guides advising illegal aliens how to recognize ICE, block entry, and defy arrest. Our officers are now facing a 3,200% increase in vehicle attacks."

President Donald Trump took the stage at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday, using his global address to promote America’s economic strength, energy dominance, and America-First agenda.
Trump highlighted what he called the United States’ economic resurgence, crediting tariffs and domestic production for making the U.S. “the economic engine on the planet.” He contrasted that success with Europe, criticizing high energy costs and wind power, saying European nations are “destroying themselves” with policies that weaken growth.
A major focus of Trump’s remarks was Greenland, which he described as a critical strategic asset for U.S. and global security. The president called the Arctic territory “our territory,” arguing that American control is necessary to protect international shipping lanes and national security interests. Trump emphasized that he does not intend to use force, but said immediate negotiations with Denmark are needed.
The president also addressed Venezuela, predicting its oil industry will thrive with U.S. involvement and cooperation, and reiterated that American leadership is key to stabilizing global energy markets.
Trump’s speech was punctuated with humor and sharp one-liners that drew laughter and applause from the Davos audience, underscoring his message that America’s economic model — not global bureaucracy — is driving growth and prosperity.
