In this episode of The President's Daily Brief: 

• We’ll begin with an update on the ISIS inspired terror attack in New Orleans, as details emerge regarding the background and potential motivations of the U.S. Army veteran turned terrorist who killed 14 and injured more than 30 in the New Year’s day rampage.

• Later in the show, Russia’s last major gas pipeline to Europe has been officially shut down, marking an end to Moscow’s decades long energy dominance over the continent.

• Plus, Israel has revealed that more than 100 members of their special forces executed a daring covert raid in Syria back in September that destroyed an underground missile factory funded by Iran.

• In our 'Back of the Brief' segment, three terrorists who helped orchestrate the 9/11 attacks may avoid the death penalty, after a military appeals court ruled that Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin could not rescind controversial plea deals made over the summer.
