Today's other headlines, officials at the Treasury Department are laying the groundwork for a new $250 bill featuring President Trump's image.

A mock-up was first obtained by the Washington Post.

It's meant to commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary and would be the first time a living person is featured on American currency in more than 150 years.

But its fate ultimately rests with Congress,

where legislation has stalled that would overturn a federal law

prohibiting living Americans from appearing on U.S. currency.

At today's White House press briefing, Treasury Secretary Scott Besant said the $250 bills

would be ready for circulation should the legislation pass.

At present, no living person can be on U.S. currency.

At Treasury, we prepare things in advance, so we have prepared in advance that if the legislation

has passed, but we will stick to the law.

Congress outlawed images of living people back in 1866 after a Treasury official printed

his own likeness on a five-cent note leading to widespread outrage at the time.

The federal judge in Washington is refusing to block President Trump's executive order limiting

mail-in voting. At least for now, the order was issued back in March and would also direct

the creation of a federal voter list. In his 26-page opinion, Judge Carl Nichols, a Trump appointee,

wrote that it was too soon for the court to intervene since the Trump administration hasn't implemented much of the order yet.

Democrats and civil rights groups have argued that the move exceeds the president's authority,

since the Constitution gives the power to set election rules to Congress and the states.

The Justice Department has reportedly opened an investigation into former columnist E. Jean Carroll,

who won multiple civil cases against President Trump on accusations of sexual abuse and defamation.

The Associated Press and other outlets say the DOJ is looking into whether Carol lied during the course of the litigation.
