An Olympic athlete turned accused drug trafficker is captured.

FBI Director Kash Patel said he was in Mexico on an unrelated trip when the FBI arrested Sinaloa cartel-backed trafficker Ryan Wedding.

Patel credited the Los Angeles Police Department as well as Mexican officials who helped in his capture.

Wedding is accused of trafficking and money laundering, but he's also been charged with murdering a federal witness just before he was supposed to testify.

Patel would not say who, if anyone, would receive the $15 million reward for information leading to Wedding's arrest.

Texas Republican Congressman Brandon Gill questioned Jack Smith's effort to obtain Republican phone records as part of Smith's investigation into January 6th, noting he got the records, including of then-Speaker Kevin McCarthy, under a nondisclosure order so phone companies couldn't notify targets of the investigation.

Gill said Smith called lawmakers a flight risk.

Smith defended his decision.

Republicans said this violated rules protecting lawmakers engaged in legislative acts.

During a deposition last month, former special counsel Jack Smith told Judiciary Committee attorneys he had enough evidence to prove President Trump was guilty in two cases, the mishandling of classified documents and of trying to overturn the results of the 2020 election.

Both cases were dropped when he won a second term as president.

But Republicans allege politics influenced a decision to prosecute, and many will have questions about Smith's tactics, including gathering up Republican lawmakers' phone records on and around January 6, 2021.

Separately, President Trump's asking a federal judge in Florida to block the release of a second volume of information about the classified documents case prepared by Smith, arguing it would be unfair as the case has been dismissed.

President Trump said he wanted to fire Lisa Cook as a Federal Reserve governor for cause that she was grossly negligent when she called a vacation home her main residence, resulting in better interest rates.

Cook said it was an oversight and that she's corrected the paperwork.

But her attorney, Paul Clement, argued to the justices the error happened before she was even on the Federal Reserve.
