What's Happening with Trump?
Reports have surfaced that the Justice Department is investigating E. Jean Carroll, a woman who successfully sued Donald Trump for defamation and battery. Ivy Meeropol, director of the documentary "Ask E. Jean," called the reports "unbelievable, yet not surprising." This development comes as Trump faces multiple investigations and controversies, including a recent statement suggesting he may replace "third-rate artists" who dropped out of his Freedom 250 concert series with himself.
Remembering Liam Payne

Bandmate Niall Horan has spoken out about the loss, describing their friendship as "a bond that was there forever."
