President Trump is ramping up his talk on acquiring Greenland, saying he's seeking "immediate negotiations". Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland today, Trump said only the U.S. can protect Greenland and Denmark couldn't defend it during World War Two. He said the U.S. was "stupid" to give Greenland back to Denmark after the war was over.        The Supreme Court is hearing arguments in a case involving the firing of Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook by the Trump administration. President Trump had urged the high court to allow him to fire Cook immediately. He moved to let her go in August over mortgage fraud allegations. Cook sued Trump over her firing and has remained on the job since.        The Clintons could be facing contempt charges in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein investigation. The GOP-led committee looking into the investigation has started contempt proceedings against the Clintons. Republican Congressman James Comer, who chairs the committee, warned last week contempt of Congress charges against former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton are on the table after neither showed for their scheduled deposition.        Lindsey Halligan is leaving her position as interim U.S. attorney. U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi made the announcement on social media Tuesday night saying Democratic senators had made it impossible for Halligan's term to continue. Earlier in the day, a federal judge said Halligan was "masquerading" as the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia.        Pending home sales took a plunge last month. According to the National Association of Realtors survey, pending sales of existing homes fell nine-point-three-percent across the U.S. between November and December. Sales are down to their lowest point in five months.        The nominations for the 46th annual Razzies are released. The award ceremony is known for honoring the best-worst-movies released throughout the year, giving winners the infamous "Golden Raspberry." Disney's live action "Snow White" and Universal's "War of the Worlds" are tied for the most Razzie nominations with six in total, sharing a nomination for the Worst Movie category.
