Tonight, the President escalates his Greenland takeover bid, threatening new tariffs on our European

allies and refusing to rule out military action. Then the White House puts two army battalions

on alert for possible deployment to Minneapolis in response to the ongoing protests. Plus,

we are one month past the deadline for the Epstein

Files. What Steps Congress is actually taking to force their release as the 11th hour gets

1:41.3

The president sent Norway's prime minister a message last night
