Chapter 2: What recent changes have occurred in Trump's tariff policies regarding Canada?
I'm Karen Moscow. President Trump's tariff policies suffering their strongest political blow yet with the Republican-led House passing legislation aimed at ending the president's levies on Canadian imports. Bloomberg's John Tucker joins us with the latest. John, good morning.
And Karen, this was the vote yesterday on the House floor as six Republicans joined with Democrats to line up against the president.
Chapter 3: How did House Republicans respond to Trump's tariff legislation?
On this vote, the yeas are 219 and the nays are 211. The joint resolution is passed. Without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table.
And Republicans Thomas Massey of Kentucky, Don Bacon of Nebraska, Kevin Kiley of California, Jeff Hurd of Colorado, Dan Newhouse of Washington State, and Brian Fitzpatrick of Pennsylvania all broke with their party to join Democrats in passing this bill.
Newhouse told reporters later the trading relationships between Canada and his state of Washington is pretty intertwined with a high value of exports and imports, and a lot of jobs depend on it.
Chapter 4: What are the implications of the new voter ID requirements proposed by House Republicans?
Trump is certain to veto any bill calling for a repeal of his tariff agenda. He's now threatening those six Republicans with primary challenges. The measure's passage also comes as the president privately weighs quitting the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade pact that he signed during his first term in New York. I'm John Tucker, Bloomberg Radio.
All right, John, thank you. House Republicans have approved legislation that would impose strict new voter ID requirements ahead of the midterm elections. The bill is a Trump administration priority aimed at scrutinizing ballot access, but it faces blowback in the Senate.
The legislation requires Americans to present proof of citizenship when they register to vote and to show a valid photo identification before they cast ballots.
Elsewhere on Capitol Hill, Attorney General Pam Bondi traded attacks with Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee over her agency's handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, as well as probes into President Trump's political opponents.

Chapter 5: What controversies arose during Attorney General Pam Bondi's testimony on the Epstein investigation?
Chairman Jordan, I'm not going to get in the gutter with these people, but I'm going to answer the question. How many have you indicted?
Attorney General Bondi says the Justice Department has Epstein investigations pending, but she did not elaborate. The committee's top Democrat, Jamie Raskin, also accused Bondi of replacing career prosecutors with stooges who will do President Trump's bidding. Bondi repeatedly praised the president during the hearing and drew laughter at one point when she brought up the stock market.
Chapter 6: What accusations did Democrats make against Attorney General Bondi during the hearing?
I don't know why you're laughing. You're a great stock trader, as I hear, Raskin. The Dow is over 50,000 right now. The S&P at almost 7,000. And the Nasdaq smashing records.
That was Attorney General Pam Bondi's first appearance before Congress since October at a hearing that also turned contentious. Now the latest on the search for 84-year-old mother of Today Show host Savannah Guthrie. Federal agents are looking along roadways in the Catalina Foothills area near Tucson as part of the investigation into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
The Pima County Sheriff's Department and the FBI said that they're following up on 18,000 tips. And here's retired FBI agent Richard Frankel.
Chapter 7: What are the latest updates on the search for Savannah Guthrie's mother?
18,000 in what, a week and a half? That number is staggering. After 9-11, we had, I believe, 18,000 to 20,000 in two years.
The FBI has also released images of a masked person on Nancy Guthrie's porch the night she went missing near Tucson. Nancy Guthrie was reported missing on February 1st.
