The Federal Bureau of Investigation said Wednesday afternoon that it is investigating an attack in New Orleans' French Quarter as an act of terrorism and believes the suspect had help. Police killed the suspect — identified by the FBI as 42-year-old Shamsud-Din Jabbar, a U.S. citizen from Texas — in a firefight after he drove a pickup truck into a crowd of people, killing at least 10 people and injuring more than 30. Alethea Duncan, an assistant special agent in charge of the FBI’s New Orleans field office, said an Islamic State flag was "located on the trailer hitch of the vehicle." The truck also contained weapons and potential improvised explosive devices (IEDs), she said. IEDs were also found in the French Quarter, Duncan said. "As of now, two IEDs have been found and rendered safe," she said. The FBI was also working to identify the suspect's possible associates. "We're working to ensure that there is no further threat," Duncan said. "We do not believe that Jabbar was solely responsible. We are actively running down every lead, including those of his known associates." The Sugar Bowl-- a college football playoff game-- between the University of Notre Dame and the University of Georgia, which was due to be played tonight at the Superdome in New Orleans, has been postponed to Thursday.

On Saturday President-elect Donald Trump told NBC in a phone interview that after he takes office he will “most likely” give TikTok a 90-day reprieve from a potential ban. The extension is allowed under the bipartisan law passed last year. But on Friday the Supreme Court voted to uphold the law that would ban TikTok. While the Biden Administration has said they would not enforce the law before leaving office, the deadline of the ban is still set to take place Sunday Jan. 19. To lift the ban, the law requires TikTok’s China-based parent company, ByteDance, to sell the app to a non-Chinese-buyer. As of now, TikTok says it plans to “go dark” on Sunday, unless it is given immediate clarity and assurance of non-enforcement of the app ban. While Trump may grant the app an extension on his first day in office, that still leaves one day of potential darkness for the social media app. As of now, the fate of the app and its more than 170 million U.S. users still hang in the abyss. #tiktok #tiktoknews #tiktokupdate #tiktokban #tiktikusa #tiktokbanusa #bytedance #supremecourt #donaldtrump #trumptiktok #joebiden #bidentiktok #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #tiktokbreakingnews #breakingnews #news #newstiktok #tiktokbannews

A fierce winter storm is barreling across the country, with more than 70 million Americans under winter weather alerts Sunday night and 4 million facing blizzard conditions. At least six governors have declared states of emergency amid bitter cold winds and heavy snow. In the coming days, frigid temperatures are expected as far south as Florida." Every type of hazard is on the table with this system," Matthew Cappucci, senior meteorologist at MyRadar, told PBS News' William Brangham. The potential for power outages and an icy mix of freezing rain, snow and sleet are among the dangerous conditions accompanying the storm. "I think a lot of folks will be seeing pretty significant disruptions for quite some time," Cappucci said. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #snow #storm #snowstorm #blizzard #stateofemergency #winter #winterstorm #weather #weatherreport #news

Scott Bessent, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee to run the Treasury Department, told senators Thursday that extending tax cuts that are set to expire at the end of 2025 is “the single most important economic issue of the day.” “This is pass-fail,” Bessent said, warning that “if we do not fix these tax cuts, if we do not renew and extend, then we will be facing an economic calamity. And, as always with financial instability, that falls on the middle and working-class people.” The comments from Bessent, a billionaire hedge fund manager, came during his confirmation hearing before the Senate Finance Committee. He was asked about the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, which was enacted during Trump’s first term and made major changes to the tax code for individuals and businesses. Democrats on the committee argued during the hearing that if Trump extended parts of the law past this year, the wealthiest taxpayers would benefit while the $36 trillion national debt would grow. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #trumpadministration #senate #congress #capitolhill #government #news #taxes #taxcuts #economics #taxcode #finance

A tribute to Jimmy Carter penned by the man who served as his vice president was read at the former president's funeral in Washington on Thursday. Walter Mondale had prepared the eulogy to be read at Carter’s funeral before his own death in 2021. Ted Mondale, the former vice president's son, delivered the tribute at Washington National Cathedral. "We came up with a sentence, which remains an important summary of our work: 'We told the truth, we obeyed the law and we kept the peace.' That we did, Mr. President," Mondale said. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #jimmycarter #carter #vicepresident #president #news #funeral #tribute #eulogy #nationalcathedral #dc

In his first remarks as the 47th president of the United States, Donald Trump said the moment marked a significant shift. “From this moment on, America’s decline is over,” he told the crowd gathered inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda. “Our liberties and our nation's glorious destiny will no longer be denied, and we will immediately restore the integrity, competency and loyalty of America's government.” Trump mentioned the July 13 attempt on his life at an open-air campaign rally in Pennsylvania. “I felt then and believe even more so now that my life was saved for a reason,” he said. “I was saved by God to make America great again.” The inauguration ceremony, including the swearings-in, is taking place indoors this year, a last-minute change to the pomp and circumstance due to extreme cold forecasted for the nation’s capital. When Trump returns to the White House on Monday, he’s expected to act quickly on his campaign promises and roll back his predecessor’s policies. As his second term begins, his party controls both chambers of Congress and conservative justices have a majority on the Supreme Court. Trump is only the second president to return to office in non-consecutive terms, the only president convicted of a felony and the oldest person to win election to the White House. #pbsnews #newshour #pbsnewshour #trump #donaldtrump #trumpinauguration #inaugurationday #inaugurationday2025 #inauguration #trumpnews

Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Ct., questioned U.S. attorney general nominee Pam Bondi in a confirmation hearing Wednesday held by the Senate Judiciary Committee. Blumenthal asked Bondi if she shared the bipartisan concerns about TikTok, a social media platform that’s been considered a potential national security risk, partly because parent company ByteDance is based in China. Bondi declined to answer the question, saying it would be “irresponsible” for her to talk about pending litigation. Blumenthal said it’s not pending litigation within the Justice Department and is currently going through the courts with the agency defending the constitutionality of U.S. law. Blumenthal tried rephrasing his original question. “I'm not trying to hedge on anything, Senator. I just can't comment on anything,” she said. Blumenthal again tried asking his question, this time, more broadly: “Will you defend laws of the United States of America against constitutional attacks?” Bondi said yes. Blumenthal then asked his question, with respect to the law that requires divestiture of TikTok, Bondi declined to answer, again citing pending litigation. “I have to tell you, with all due respect, that answer is unacceptable to me,” the senator said. Bondi is a former Florida attorney general and has been a longtime ally of President-elect Donald Trump. This is the first of two hearings the committee has scheduled for the nominee. #blumenthal #pambondi #richardblumenthal #bondi #bondihearing #confirmationhearing #trump #tiktok#tiktokban #tiktokus #pbsnews#newshour#pbsnewshour

President Donald Trump said in his second inaugural address Monday that he would “build the strongest military the world has ever seen.” After saying he would reinstate service members who refused mandatory COVID vaccinations, Trump said the military’s “sole mission” would be “defeating America’s enemies.” He also said that he would measure success not only by wars won, but by those avoided. “My proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker and unifier,” Trump said, noting that Hamas freed three Israeli hostages on Sunday. He added that he would soon be changing the name of the Gulf of Mexico to the "Gulf of America." "America will reclaim its rightful place as the greatest, most powerful, most respected nation on Earth, inspiring the awe and admiration of the entire world," Trump said. The inauguration ceremony, including the swearings-in, is taking place indoors this year, a last-minute change to the pomp and circumstance due to extreme cold forecasted for the nation’s capital. When Trump returns to the White House on Monday, he’s expected to act quickly on his campaign promises and roll back his predecessor’s policies.

All five living presidents — Bill Clinton, George W. Bush, Barack Obama, Donald Trump and Joe Biden — attended former President Jimmy Carter’s funeral Thursday at the Washington National Cathedral, paying tribute to the longest-living commander-in-chief. Four first ladies, as well as current Vice President Kamala Harris and second gentleman Doug Emhoff, also attended. Former Vice Presidents Dan Quayle, Al Gore and Mike Pence were seated nearby. Former first lady Michelle Obama was not in attendance. President-elect Trump did not attend former President George H. W. Bush’s funeral in 2018, though all the other living presidents at the time, including Carter, did attend. The official state funeral in Washington on Thursday caps a long farewell that began — and will end — in his hometown of Plains, Georgia. Carter died Dec. 29 at age 100. #pbsnewshour #pbsnews #newshour #jimmycarter #carter #funeral #president #whitehouse #dc #news #tribute #joebiden #biden #democrat #obama #barackobama #trump #donaldtrump #billclinton #clinton #bush #georgewbush #nationalcathedral
