By FARNOUSH AMIRI and TARA COPP WASHINGTON (AP) — Senators vetting the nomination of Pete Hegseth for defense secretary received an affidavit Tuesday from a former sister-in-law alleging that the onetime Fox News host was abusive to his second wife, to the point where she feared for her safety.

By JOHN SEEWER Four men from Chile were indicted Tuesday in what the Ohio attorney general called a string of burglaries at multimillion-dollar homes, but he declined to say whether professional athletes were the targets. The four were arrested earlier this month in Ohio after being found in an SUV along with an LSU shirt and a Cincinnati Bengals hat. Both were believed to be stolen from a house near Cincinnati on Dec. 9, according to an affidavit. The burglary in December came on the same day Cincinnati quarterback Joe Burrow’s home was broken into while he and the Bengals were playing in Dallas. Court documents don’t directly say whether the four men were linked to that break-in or list the address of Burrow, who played in college at LSU. Text messages to Burrow’s agent on Tuesday were not returned. Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost’s office said no additional information would be announced, citing an ongoing investigation. The documents also don’t state whether the men are connected to a string of burglaries at the homes of prominent NFL, NHL and NBA players. The FBI in

By HALELUYA HADERO, Associated Press President Donald Trump has directed his Justice Department to pause enforcement of the TikTok ban until early April, but a host of questions remain – including whether Trump has the authority to issue such an order and if TikTok’s China-based parent would be amenable to selling the popular social media platform. In an executive order signed on Monday, Trump instructed the U.S. attorney general to not enforce the ban for 75 days while his administration determines “the appropriate course forward in an orderly way that protects national security while avoiding an abrupt shutdown” of TikTok.

Attorneys general from 22 states sued Tuesday to block President Donald Trump’s move to end a decades-old immigration policy known as birthright citizenship guaranteeing that U.S.-born children are citizens regardless of their parents’ status. Trump’s roughly 700-word executive order, issued late Monday, amounts to a fulfillment of something he’s talked about during the presidential campaign. But whether it succeeds is far from certain amid what is likely to be a lengthy legal battle over the president’s immigration policies. Here’s a closer look at birthright citizenship, Trump’s executive order and reaction to it: What is birthright citizenship? Birthright citizenship means anyone born in the U.S. is a citizen, regardless of their parents’ immigration status. People, for instance, in the United States on a tourist or other visa or in the country illegally can become the parents of a citizen if their child is born here. It’s been in place for decades and enshrined in the 14th Amendment to the Constitution, supporters say. But Trump and allies dispute the reading of the amendment and say there need to be tougher standards on becoming a citizen. What does

Tuesday, January 21, 2025 10:32PM A snow storm is smacking the south. HOUSTON — It’s a snow day across southeast Texas! A Winter Storm brought snow and freezing rain to the greater Houston area. The National Weather Service predicts 3 to 6 inches of snow and sleet accumulations south of I-10 with locally higher amounts. North of I-10, accumulations look to be more in the 1-3″ range with locally higher amounts. Ice accumulations from freezing rain could measure up to one-tenth of an inch, mainly in our coastal counties. From snowboarding at the park to building snowmen in the yard, ABC Houston affiliate KTRK’s viewers shared photos of their snowy adventures. You can scroll through them here. Although it’s fun to play in the snow, it’s important to stay weather aware. City leaders say people should be prepared to stay put for 48 hours. If you must travel, stay far away from other vehicles and never drive next to someone because you don’t know their driving skills or if their vehicle will spin out.

By ANDREW DALTON Tuesday, January 21, 2025 8:25PM Jury selection is scheduled to begin Tuesday in a trial against A$AP Rocky, who is charged with firing a gun at a former friend and could get a decades-long prison sentence if convicted. LOS ANGELES — A$AP Rocky turned down a final prosecution plea offer of 180 days in jail and will face the possibility of a guilty verdict and years in prison as jury selection began at his trial on Tuesday. The agreement offered to the 36-year-old hip-hop star, fashion mogul and actor whose legal name is Rakim Mayers was to plead guilty to one of his two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm. Los Angeles County prosecutors would also recommend a seven-year suspended sentence, three years of probation and the six-month jail term. But Rocky told a judge he respectfully declined. He is accused of firing at a former friend near a Hollywood hotel in 2021, and could get a maximum sentence of 24 years in prison if convicted. He has pleaded not guilty. Rocky’s attorney Joe Tacopina also revealed in court Tuesday

By ALEXA ST. JOHN and SETH BORENSTEIN, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump once expressed concern with how low showerhead flow affected his “perfect” hair. Now back in the White House, he’s again taking aim at some high-efficiency household items — and that may mean higher water and electric bills in your home. One of Trump’s several dozen first-day executive orders promises to “unleash American energy,” including a pledge to ease efficiency standards for household appliances and fixtures. The standards are intended to make dishwashers, showerheads, refrigerators, laundry machines, toilets and the like use less energy and water. The higher-efficiency appliances can have higher upfront costs, but they save water and electricity. Here’s what Trump said and what it means. What did Trump’s executive order say? Trump vowed that consumers won’t be forced to buy or use such items — mirroring action he took during his first time in office. His order would “safeguard the American people’s freedom to choose from a variety of goods and appliances, including but not limited to lightbulbs, dishwashers, washing machines, gas stoves, water heaters, toilets, and shower

By Sara Rathner, NerdWallet Last year was dominated by a dramatic presidential election and an economy that, while strong on paper, didn’t feel that way for many Americans. Here’s what we saw in 2024 when it came to credit cards and debt: Interest rates began to fall, but credit card APRs are still catching up: The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates three times toward the end of 2024, but it took a few months for average credit card interest rates to follow suit and come down slightly from a record high. Debt and delinquencies rose, but things could be stabilizing: According to NerdWallet’s 2024 American Household Credit Card Debt study, revolving credit card debt increased just 1.5% from September 2023 to September 2024. But when you look at that same timeframe for the year prior, debt levels increased by 15%. Credit card delinquency rates rose steadily since the latter half of 2021, but they leveled off a bit between the third and fourth quarters of 2024. Attempts at certain industry changes stalled. The Credit Card Competition Act — first introduced in 2022, but still hotly debated

By BERNARD CONDON, AP Business Writer NEW YORK (AP) — Right-wing extremists are celebrating Elon Musk’s straight-arm gesture during a speech Monday, although his intention wasn’t totally clear and some hate watchdogs are saying not to read too much into it. “I just want to say thank you for making it happen,” Musk said during a speech at Capitol One Arena on Monday afternoon, referring to Donald Trump’s victory in the presidential election. Then he slapped his hand on his chest, extended his arm straight outward and upward with his palm facing downwards. He turned around and made a similar gesture facing the other way. “My heart goes out to you,” he said. Many social media users noticed that the gesture looked like a Nazi salute. Musk has only fanned the flames of suspicion by not explicitly denying those claims in a dozen posts since, though he did make light of the criticism and lashed out at people making that interpretation. “The ‘everyone is Hitler’ attack is sooo tired,” Musk posted on X several hours after he left the stage. Critics and fans alike of

By ALEXA ST. JOHN and MATTHEW DALY, Associated Press WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump signed an executive order promising to eliminate what he incorrectly labels “the electric vehicle mandate” imposed under former President Joe Biden. His order on Monday is consistent with pledges Trump made on the campaign trail to end what he calls a “preposterous” focus on EV’s by Biden and other Democrats. The order, along with other steps expected in a second Trump administration, could slow U.S. efforts to address climate change, much of which is caused by burning gasoline and diesel fuel that emit carbon dioxide and other planet-warming greenhouse gases. Here is a look at Trump’s actions and what happens next. What does Trump’s executive order say about EVs? Trump’s order said he would “eliminate the electric vehicle (EV) mandate” and promote true consumer choice, which is essential for economic growth and innovation, by removing regulatory barriers to motor vehicle access; by ensuring a level regulatory playing field for consumer choice in vehicles.” While there is no Biden “mandate” to force the purchase of EVs, the Democratic president’s policies were

By SETH BORENSTEIN, AP Science Writer WASHINGTON (AP) — The 2015 Paris climate agreement is not the boogeyman that punishes the United States that critics such as President Donald Trump claim. But it hasn’t quite kept the world from overheating either. The Paris agreement is a mostly voluntary climate pact originally written in ways that would both try to reduce warming and withstand the changing political winds in the United States. In his first hours in office, Trump started the year-long process to withdraw from the pact. It’s the second time he’s done it — then-President Joe Biden had the U.S. rejoin on his second day in office. Once the withdrawal takes effect next year the United States joins Iran, Libya and Yemen as the only United Nations countries that are not part of the agreement. The U.S. withdrawal, while expected, triggered heavy reactions from around the world. That’s because the United States is historically responsible for the largest share of heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere, has been a leader in international climate negotiations and is the world’s largest producer of the fossil fuels that

Enrique Tarrio, the former leader of the Proud Boys who was convicted for his role in the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol attack, has been released from federal prison. The move is part of President Trump’s pardons for those who carried out the attack in Washington, D.C. CBS News’ Jason Allen reports.

Enrique Tarrio and Stewart Rhodes were both free from prison on Tuesday. By Alexander Mallin, Luke Barr, and Ivan Pereira Tuesday, January 21, 2025 4:59PM Trump, surrounded by executive orders he planned to sign Monday evening, also signed an order pardoning approximately 1,500 Jan. 6 rioters. Enrique Tarrio, the former head of the Proud Boys, and Stewart Rhodes, the head of the Oath Keepers, were released Tuesday from prison following President Donald Trump’s sweeping pardon of those convicted in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.

LOS ANGELES — Winds picked up on Tuesday in Southern California and at least a couple of new wildfires broke out as firefighters remained on alert in extreme fire weather two weeks after two major blazes started that are still burning in the Los Angeles area. Gusts could peak at 70 mph (113 kph) along the coast and 100 mph (160 kph) in the mountains and foothills during extreme fire weather that is expected to last through Tuesday morning. Wind speeds ranged from 35 mph (56 kph) along the coast to 63 mph (101 kph) in the mountains overnight, according to National Weather Service reports. The weather service issued a warning of a “particularly dangerous situation” for parts of Los Angeles, Ventura and San Diego counties from Monday afternoon through Tuesday morning due to low humidity and damaging Santa Ana winds.

MEXICO CITY — President Donald Trump signed an executive order Monday saying the United States would designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations in a move that could push a militarized agenda for the border and Latin America. The order highlighted Mexican drug cartels and other Latin American criminal groups like Venezuela gang Tren de Aragua and Salvadoran gang Mara Salvatrucha (MS-13), which it said “threaten the safety of the American people, the security of the United States, and the stability of the international order in the Western Hemisphere.” The order did not list the groups by name, but said Cabinet secretaries would recommend groups for designation as terrorist organizations in the next 14 days. It was among a slew of orders Trump signed Monday to kick off his administration. “The Cartels have engaged in a campaign of violence and terror throughout the Western Hemisphere that has not only destabilized countries with significant importance for our national interests but also flooded the United States with deadly drugs, violent criminals, and vicious gangs,” the order read. It was unclear what the impact could be for fighting
