  • The FBI National Press Office released an unsigned statement concerning acting Director Brian Driscoll assuring the public he "continues to serve in his role as Acting Director and remains committed to supporting the administration and ensuring a smooth transition to the incoming Director."

The article from ABC News discusses former President Donald Trump's plans for a potential second term, focusing on his intentions to use executive actions extensively. Trump has expressed a desire to enact policies through executive orders, bypassing Congress where possible, to quickly implement his agenda. Key points include his plans to address immigration by reinstating and expanding travel bans, potentially targeting more countries than before, and to overhaul the Department of Justice to align more closely with his political objectives. Additionally, Trump has hinted at using the Insurrection Act on his first day back in office to deploy the military against civil unrest, a move that would significantly expand presidential power. These plans reflect Trump's strategy to govern with less legislative oversight, aiming for immediate and unilateral action on issues like immigration, law enforcement, and national security.
