- President Trump secured a major legal victory as Georgia’s 2020 election interference case was dismissed, though he was separately fined $1M for a “frivolous” lawsuit.
- The GOP’s narrow House majority is at risk of a “zero-vote margin” pending a competitive Tennessee special election, adding pressure on a “beleaguered” Speaker Johnson.
- President Trump’s undisclosed Ukraine peace plan is reportedly causing “outrage” among Republican lawmakers, revealing deep intra-party fractures on a key foreign policy issue.

1. D.C. Security Crisis and Sweeping Immigration Overhaul
1.1. The Shooting Incident and Suspect Identification
A critical security incident in Washington D.C., the shooting of two National Guard members, has become the catalyst for a significant policy crisis [1]. Officials have identified the suspect as an individual who previously worked for the CIA in Afghanistan, drove across the country before the attack, and was brought to the U.S. under “Operation Allies Welcome” [2, 3]. The incident has placed the vetting processes of multiple administrations under scrutiny. FBI Director Kash Patel held a press conference vowing to “track down” the shooter, only for reports to emerge that the suspect was already hospitalized, leading to criticism that the Director was “embarrassingly out of the loop” [4]. Further reports indicate the Director was later confronted about the Trump administration’s role in approving the suspect’s asylum [5].
