Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin expressed outrage after three U.S. servicemembers were killed in an attack at a U.S. base in Jordan. He added the U.S. will respond appropriately to the deadly attack that left many other servicemembers injured. The secretary's comments came as he welcomed the NATO secretary-general to the Pentagon. This was Secretary Austin's first public event since being hospitalized in late December 2023 for cancer treatment complications. The hospitalization came under scrutiny after the secretary failed to disclose it to the White House and other Pentagon officials immediately.

Other topics during this news conference included funding for Ukraine, the Israel-Gaza War and the upcoming NATO summit to be hosted in the U.S.

2024 GOP presidential candidate and former President Donald Trump spoke to reporters following a meeting with Teamsters president Sean O'Brien. When asked about the potential bipartisan border deal working its way through Congress, the former president said he hopes "the Republicans and the Democrats don't make a bad border deal because a bad border deal would be worse than no deal at all". The former president said he had a "good shot" at getting the union's official endorsement following the meeting. Mr. Trump's Democratic rival President Biden got the union's endorsement in 2020, and Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton got it in 2016.

"We've got a long way to go before we make a decision" says International Brotherhood of Teamsters President Sean O'Brien following a meeting with former president and current GOP presidential candidate Donald Trump. O'Brien says his organization has not been in contact with former Governor and Ambassador Nikki Haley which O'Brien says isn't surprising given the candidates stance on unions. The meeting between the former president and the leader of the Teamster organization comes just a week before Nevada's primary election and caucuses.

Amid reports of an influx of migrants crossing the southern border, the House Homeland Security Committee held a meeting to mark up articles of impeachment against Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas. The articles were announced by the committee's chair, Rep. Mark Green (R-TN), which were "willful and systemic refusal to comply with the law" and "breach of public trust." Ranking Member Bennie Thompson (D-MS) called the resolution "a baseless sham" and that "extreme MAGA Republicans" in the House were "deeply unserious people" trying to score political points amid former President Donald Trump running in the 2024 presidential election, which were sentiments echoed by rank-and-file Democrats.

"As Democrats on the committee, we feel clearly that it's not in the best interest of our government to have this impeachment. That it's a deal put together to satisfy some of the most extreme elements in the Republican party," said Homeland Security Committee Ranking Member Bennie Thompson (MS) as he discussed the impeachment consideration before his committee, noting it as the first impeachment to come before a committee other than Judiciary. He joined House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries (NY) and other committee members to speak to reporters about Republicans' plans to impeach Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the situation on the border. They called the impeachment a "sham" and said they do not see the high crimes and misdemeanor standards being met.

Georgia District Attorney Fani Willis defended her handling of the 2020 election inference case during remarks at Big Bethel AME Church in Atlanta, as part of the congregation's Martin Luther King, Jr., observance day service. She spoke for the first time publicly about allegations made in a court filing by the former president's legal team, accusing her of an improper relationship with the special prosecutor overseeing the case. She defended the attorney, Nathan Wade, who is Black, as a legal "superstar," without using his name, and she noted the other two special prosecutors are white. "They only attacked one," she told the congregation. The defense followed up with another court motion to dismiss the case, arguing the district attorney's remarks were meant to "foment racial animus." Two weeks after the speech to the Big Bethel congregation, Ms. Willis, in a court filing, acknowledged a personal relationship with Mr. Wade, but said the defense had not proven a conflict of interest or
