| 0:12.1 | I'm Gabe Gutierrez in Washington, where we're following multiple breaking news stories right now, including a big win for the president in Congress and a major development in the Trump administration's |
| 0:21.9 | ongoing fight with Harvard University, with the White House now blocking Harvard from enrolling |
