Today’s Headlines: Yesterday at the Supreme Court, justices heard arguments regarding Donald Trump's eligibility to remain on Colorado's Republican presidential primary ballot under the 14th Amendment's insurrection clause. Concerns arose over whether one state should have the authority to disqualify a candidate, potentially setting a precedent for political motivations. Meanwhile, Trump secured all 26 delegates in Nevada's Republican caucus, specially held for him by the state GOP chair. In another development, a DOJ Special Counsel report found distinctions between Trump and Biden's handling of classified documents, with Biden not facing criminal charges despite retaining and disclosing classified materials as a private citizen. However, concerns were raised about Biden's memory during the investigation. Additionally, Tucker Carlson's interview with Vladimir Putin in Moscow sparked controversy, with Putin doubling down on espionage accusations and inviting the U.S. to negotiate over Ukraine. In the Senate, despite lack of consensus on new border policy, a $95 billion military aid package for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan advanced with a 67-32 vote. Lastly, the CIA terminated a female whistleblower whose account of sexual assault prompted others to come forward with similar allegations, raising accusations of retaliation.
