Justice Department activity
Federal law-enforcement headlines dominate several other videos. A 2-minute-27-second report announces that the Justice Department has opened an investigation into the death of an individual identified as Prettis. Separate coverage lasting 3 minutes-21 seconds outlines the release of what authorities describe as the final batch of Jeffrey Epstein-related files. An extended 5-minute-01-second segment notes that about 3 million pages of material linked to the Epstein case are being made public, signaling the conclusion of a multiyear document review.
In another 2-minute-38-second piece, viewers learn that a federal judge has removed the death penalty from consideration in the Mangione case. The change alters the potential sentencing outcome but leaves other charges intact.
Partial government shutdown and budget talks
A 1-minute-26-second clip confirms the start of a partial U.S. government shutdown after lawmakers failed to pass a funding measure. Separate footage lasting 1 minute-15 seconds indicates that last-minute negotiations continue on Capitol Hill, though no immediate resolution was announced in the videos posted.
Political and legal developments
Former President Donald Trump features in multiple segments. One 1-minute-47-second video reports that Trump has filed a $10 billion lawsuit against the Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department over the leak of his tax returns. Another 1-minute-57-second package states that he has named his choice for the next Federal Reserve chair. In a 1-minute-36-second report, Trump criticizes policies in Cuba and Iran, while a separate 1-minute-14-second segment details broader U.S. pressure on Tehran’s nuclear program.
Protests, public safety and crime
Large demonstrations against Immigration and Customs Enforcement actions drew crowds from California to New York, according to a 4-minute-20-second video dated January 30, 2026. The same date marks a 3-minute-09-second report on fallout from an FBI raid at a Georgia election facility. Additional public-safety footage includes a 22-second recording of NYPD body-camera images showing a fatal shooting inside a hospital and a 21-second clip of a man rushing a Transportation Security Administration checkpoint at Atlanta’s airport.
In Minnesota, authorities have arrested former cable-news anchor Don Lemon in connection with a protest, according to a 4-minute-37-second segment. Elsewhere, organizers in Minneapolis discuss preparations for upcoming demonstrations in a 3-minute-06-second video.
Social policy
A 1-minute-12-second report explains that new work requirements for Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program recipients will take effect on February 1. Officials say the rules intend to encourage employment among able-bodied adults without dependents, while advocacy groups warn of possible reductions in aid.
Sports headlines
In tennis, a 1-minute-17-second update confirms that Elena Rybakina has captured the Australian Open women’s singles title.

Former NASA astronaut commentary appears in a 3-minute-33-second piece about Artemis II. The speaker raises safety concerns and notes a launch delay, though NASA has not issued a revised date in the material presented.
Entertainment and culture
The entertainment section includes several notable stories. A 2-minute-41-second obituary reports that comedy legend Catherine O’Hara died at age 71 following a brief illness. Actor Macaulay Culkin offers a personal tribute in a separate 18-second message, saying he “had so much more to say.” An additional 4-minute-19-second retrospective looks back at O’Hara’s career and influence.
