President Trump says there's a framework in place for a long-term deal regarding Greenland. Shortly after announcing the deal framework in a post on Truth Social, Trump told reporters the deal gives the U.S. everything it needs. He went on to call it an "infinite deal" that would last "forever." Trump has repeatedly said the U.S. needs to take control of Greenland for national security purposes. When announcing the deal framework he also said he will not be imposing tariffs that were scheduled to go into effect on February 1st.        The Supreme Court appears open to Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook's arguments as to why she should stay on the job. The justices today heard arguments in the case involving her August firing by the Trump administration over mortgage fraud allegations. After hearing both sides, court analysts say even the conservative justices seemed skeptical Trump had the authority to remove Cook.        The eastern third of the country is in for subzero conditions this week. Strong gusty winds will lead to dangerous wind chills, prompting extreme cold warnings and watches for the northern Plains and the Upper Midwest. More severe weather will be on the way as a major winter storm is expected to be generated and impact a huge area from Texas to the East Coast from Friday through the weekend. The storm will wrap up by Monday afternoon with the possibility of snow early in the day in southern New England and record cold temperatures likely to hit the South.        The House Oversight Committee is recommending that former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton should be charged with contempt of Congress. Members of the panel voted to advance resolutions holding the Clintons in contempt on Wednesday after the couple refused to appear for depositions in the panel's investigation into the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The committee vote is the first step in a process that could potentially lead to the Department of Justice charging the Clintons.        U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi says Lindsey Halligan will leave her position as interim U.S. attorney. 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. A previous ruling determined Halligan was unlawfully serving in the role which led to the dismissal of cases against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James.        Prince Harry took the stand in a London courtroom today in a privacy invasion trial involving the publisher of The Daily Mail. The British royal and other claimants like Elton John and Liz Hurley accuse the tabloid and its sister Sunday newspaper of breaking the law to gather information. Those methods were reported to include phone hacking and intruding into people's private lives.
