Attorney General Pam Bondi is facing questions for the first time since October about her agency's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein files. This hearing before the House Judiciary Committee has already turned contentious. Here's Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal.
Donald Trump made the release of the Epstein files the center of his political campaign because he thought it would benefit him. Then you got into office, Attorney General. claimed to have a client list, only to then say that there was no list.

Right now, President Trump is meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House. Bloomberg's Tyler Kendall is there.
This is Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's seventh visit to the White House under President Trump's second term. And it is our understanding that he is here today with the main mission being that he wants to talk to the president about the U.S.-Iran negotiations.

The Federal Aviation Administration has lifted an airspace closure over El Paso, Texas. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy posted on X that the agency and the Pentagon neutralized a threat from Mexican cartel drones. Last night, the FAA said flights in and out of El Paso would be grounded for 10 days due to unspecified special security reasons. More from Bloomberg's Sid Phillips.
It's pretty unusual for the FAA to come out with such a broad closure of the airspace, especially around a major airport and for such a long period of time.
Sid Phillip is Bloomberg's chief aviation correspondent. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum says her country will investigate the FAA closure. She says she's unaware of any drone incursions.

More from Bloomberg's Lauren Dozenski in Washington.
What are the latest developments regarding Attorney General Pam Bondi and the Epstein files?
Trump asking about leaving this agreement doesn't actually mean that he will. Trump very much believes in leverage and having Canada feel like the U.S. might have one foot out the door could allow for the U.S., to push for more favorable terms, both from Canada as well as Mexico, which ultimately is what Trump wants to do when he's seeking any sort of deal.
