Summary

President Trump heads into tonight’s high-stakes State of the Union facing his lowest approval ratings of either term, with new polls showing sharp erosion among independents and deep voter concern about the economy. President Trump hosts Angel Families at the White House, honoring victims of crimes committed by illegal immigrants and reaffirming his long-standing alliance with the families as he pushes tougher immigration enforcement. A federal judge blocks the release of former Special Counsel Jack Smith’s classified documents report, ruling its publication would cause “irreparable damage” after the case against President Trump was dismissed. Opening arguments begin in the trial of Utah mother Kouri Richins, accused of poisoning her husband with fentanyl after publishing a children’s book about coping with his death, as prosecutors and defense clash over motive and manner of death.
