What are the latest updates on the government shutdown?
The UK stands apart as a place to do business, not because of one advantage, but many working together. Over 10 trillion pounds in capital, four of the world's top universities, a 10-year industrial strategy in action, its stability with dynamism, global reach with local depth. It all adds up to greater growth. Find out more at business.gov.uk slash growth.
News when you want it with Bloomberg News Now. I'm Nathan Hager.
And I'm Karen Moscow.
Karen, we begin with efforts to reopen the government four days into a partial shutdown. President Trump is urging House Republicans to pass the measure that would fund the Homeland Security Department for two weeks. That's to allow for more time to negotiate on limits to immigration enforcement.
How is President Trump addressing immigration during the shutdown?
The president says even Democrats want to see this resolved.
I spoke with Senator Schumer numerous times, and I don't think they want to see a shutdown.
President Trump spoke from the Oval Office. A couple of Republican holdouts, Anna Paulina Luna of Florida and Tennessee's Tim Burchett, dropped their opposition to the bill after speaking with the White House. That clears the way for a vote today. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries says Democrats are pushing for dramatic changes.
The American people want to see the masks come off. The American people want to see body cameras turned on.
House Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries. Now, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem says ICE agents will start wearing body cameras in Minneapolis after the outcry over two American deaths there last month. But as the shutdown continues, its effects are being felt. The Labor Department says the January jobs report that was due this Friday will be delayed because the agency is closed.
Nathan, President Trump says he's seeking $1 billion in damages from Harvard University after the New York Times reported that his administration had backed off demands for $200 million to satisfy accusations of wrongdoing by the Ivy League institution. Trump called the Times article completely wrong. The administration has waged an aggressive campaign against Harvard and other universities over accusations of anti-Semitism linked to campus protests against Israel's military campaign in the Gaza Strip.
Karen, there are new developments in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, are now agreeing to testify in the House Oversight Committee's investigation into the late sex offender. The full House had planned to vote this week to hold the Clintons in criminal contempt if they continue to defy subpoenas. Now, Republican Congresswoman Virginia Foxx says that vote is on hold.
Should there not be substantial compliance and agreement overnight, the committee will return to continue the hearing on the contempt.
What are the implications of the Clintons testifying in the Epstein inquiry?
Republican Virginia Fox spoke at a committee hearing on the contempt vote.
In another development, Nathan, the NFL says it will review emails that have surfaced between Jeffrey Epstein and New York Giants co-owner Steve Tisch. Dozens of them were released in the Justice Department's latest batch of millions of Epstein files. Commissioner Roger Goodell says it's too soon to say whether Tisch will face punishment.
We are going to look at all the facts. We're going to look at the context of those. We're going to try to understand that. And we'll look at how that falls under the policy. But I think we take one step at a time. Let's get the facts first.
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell spoke at the league's annual pre-Super Bowl news conference. Tish released a statement saying he had a brief association with Epstein, but never took up any of his invitations and never visited his island.
Now, Karen, let's turn to the latest on geopolitics. President Trump says he anticipates talks with Iran over a new nuclear deal in the coming days. The president spoke with reporters at the White House.
What developments have emerged regarding the NFL and Jeffrey Epstein?
Right now, we're talking to them. We're talking to Iran. And if we can work something out, that'd be great. And if we can't, probably bad things would happen.
