House Republicans are intensifying scrutiny of former President Joe Biden with a new report that questions who was really running the White House. The report centers on Biden’s use of the autopen, a device that allows staff to sign documents on his behalf, and suggests that top aides may have taken advantage of the president’s declining mental acuity. Republicans say the findings raise serious questions about the legitimacy of executive orders, pardons, and other key decisions made during Biden’s administration. The report also calls on the Justice Department to investigate Biden’s inner circle, including his personal doctor, Kevin O’Connor, who declined to testify before Congress.

President Donald Trump is set to meet Chinese leader Xi Jinping in South Korea this week as both nations work to ease global market concerns and mend strained trade relations. The White House says preliminary talks have been productive, with early signs of an agreement forming. Discussions are focusing on China’s control of strategic minerals, U.S. export rules, and agricultural trade. Trump’s team is pressing Beijing to relax restrictions on rare earth minerals, which are crucial for American manufacturing and defense industries. The president is also seeking increased Chinese purchases of U.S. soybeans to support farmers across the heartland. China, meanwhile, is looking for relief from stringent U.S. technology export controls and hopes Trump will reconsider new tariffs tied to fentanyl trafficking. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent called the negotiations “the most promising in years” and said a “successful framework” is taking shape. Trump said both sides want a deal but emphasized that the U.S. will continue defending fair trade and national security.

Israel said on Monday that the Red Cross had handed over the body of another deceased hostage from Gaza to the Israeli military, according to a statement by the Israeli prime minister's office. If the identity of the deceased hostage is confirmed, it would mean that the remains of 12 hostages remain in Gaza with Palestinian militant group Hamas citing obstacles to locating them in the rubble left by the fighting. Earlier on Monday, Hamas' armed wing said it would hand over the body of a deceased hostage it recovered on Monday in Gaza. The recovery and handover of bodies of deceased hostages in Gaza has been one of the obstacles to U.S. President Donald Trump's Gaza plan. An Israeli government spokesperson said on Sunday that the Palestinian militant group knew where the bodies were. Israel on Sunday allowed the entry of an Egyptian technical team to work with the Red Cross to locate the bodies. The team would use excavator machines and trucks for the search beyond the so-called yellow line in Gaza behind which Israeli troops have initially pulled back under Trump's plan.

22-year-old Tyler Robinson, charged in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, scored a small legal victory Monday in court. The judge in Kirk's murder case ruled in favor of Robinson's motion to wear street clothes at trial, rather than appear in a jail jumpsuit. The issue of attire was brought to the judge by Robinson's lawyers. They argued jurors could potentially view Robinson as guilty, if they saw him in the prison uniform. However, Robinson was denied a different motion - to appear in court without handcuffs or restraints. Kirk was assassinated at Utah Valley University campus last month.

U.S. and Chinese officials say a trade deal between the world’s two largest economies is drawing closer. The sides have reached an initial consensus for President Donald Trump and Chinese leader Xi Jinping to aim to finalize during their high-stakes meeting Thursday in South Korea. Any agreement would be a relief to international markets. Trump's treasury secretary says discussions with China yielded preliminary agreements to stop the precursor chemicals for fentanyl from coming into the United States. Scott Bessent also says Beijing would make “substantial” purchases of soybean and other agricultural products while putting off export controls on rare earth elements needed for advanced technologies.

Air travel turmoil deepened with more than 1,660 flights delayed nationwide on Monday and more than 8,600 delays on Sunday, with air traffic controller absences surging amid a federal government shutdown now in its 27th day. The Federal Aviation Administration cited staffing shortages affecting flights across the Southeast and at Newark Airport in New Jersey, while the FAA imposed a ground delay at Los Angeles International that delayed flights by an average of 25 minutes. Southwest Airlines had 45%, or 2,000, of its flights delayed on Sunday, while American Airlines had nearly 1,200, or a third, of its flights delayed, according to FlightAware, a flight-tracking website. United Airlines had 24%, or 739, of its flights delayed and Delta Air Lines had 17%, or 610, of its flights delayed. A U.S. Department of Transportation official said 44% of Sunday’s delays stemmed from controller absences — up sharply from the usual 5%. Roughly 13,000 air traffic controllers and 50,000 Transportation Security Administration officers must work without pay and will miss their first full paycheck on Tuesday. The mounting delays and cancellations are fueling public frustration and intensifying scrutiny of the shutdown’s impact, raising pressure on lawmakers to resolve the budget impasse.

Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin has resumed offering abortions after a nearly monthlong pause due to federal Medicaid funding cuts in President Donald Trump’s tax and spending bill that took effect at the beginning of October. Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin said it was able to resume offering abortions as of noon on Monday because it relinquished its status as an “essential community provider.” The organization says by doing that, it no longer fits the definition of a “prohibited entity” under the federal law and can receive Medicaid funds. Abortion funding has been under attack across the U.S., particularly for Planned Parenthood affiliates, which are the biggest provider.
