No easy task, given that some in his party are floating their own demands and are frustrated over being painted into a corner by Democrats.

Further complicating matters, Johnson will be swearing in a new House Democrat as early as today, shrinking Republicans' majority to 218 to 214 after Christian Menefee won a special election in Texas.

And the Justice Department's latest release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein exposed the names of 43 of his victims, including many who haven't shared their identities publicly or who were minors when they were abused by the notorious sex offender.

That's according to a journal analysis, which found that several women's full names appeared more than 100 times

alongside personally identifying details, including home addresses.

The DOJ was required to redact all victims' names prior to releasing the files, raising questions about the government's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Yesterday, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanch said the DOJ would remove victims' names if notified, a process some victims told the journal was retraumatizing.

Since Friday's document release, media outlets and influencers have started publishing the women's names, leading some to say they've already begun facing online harassment.

The Rafah border crossing between Gaza and Egypt is reopening today, allowing Palestinians to enter and exit the enclave for the first time since the war between Hamas and Israel began.

The journal's Anat Peled is in Tel Aviv.

Rafah's reopening marks the final major requirement of the first phase of President Trump's Gaza peace plan.

But Anat said that what happens next is far from certain.

Thus far, Hamas has also resisted disarming, a key demand of the peace plan's second phase, alongside the withdrawal of Israeli troops from most of Gaza.

Just days before President Trump's inauguration last year, we report that the crypto venture tied to the president's family accepted a half-a-billion-dollar investment backed by a member of the United Arab Emirates royal family.

Sheikh Tanoun bin Zayed Al-Nayan is the UAE's national security advisor, sometimes called the spy sheikh, and is a brother of the country's president.

Prior to Trump moving back to the White House, the Shakespeare lieutenants signed a deal with the Trump family to buy a 49% stake in World Liberty Financial, which steered around $187 million to Trump family entities.
