Trump 2nd term updates: Trump attends the Super Bowl
Trump becomes the first sitting president to attend a Super Bowl.
President Donald Trump's second administration continued its swift recasting of the federal government, prompting pushback from Democrats and legal challenges.
The president said Sunday that he will announce tariffs on all imported steel and aluminum on Monday but didn't say when they'll take effect.
Trump, meanwhile, is at Caesars Superdome in New Orleans on Sunday night to take in the Super Bowl. Trump picked the Kansas City Chiefs to beat the Philadelphia Eagles in an interview aired before the game on Fox.

Attorney General Pam Bondi establishes 'working group' to review actions taken by those who investigated Trump
In her first hours as the nation's top law enforcement official, Attorney General Pam Bondi has issued a directive establishing a "Weaponization Working Group" that she said will be tasked with reviewing "politicized" actions of officials who investigated President Donald Trump at both the state and federal levels.
It's not clear what investigative powers the working group will have, but Bondi's directive mandates they review the prosecutions of Trump brought by special counsel Jack Smith and Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, as well as the civil fraud case brought against Trump in New York by the state's attorney general, Letitia James.
The order directs the working group to review any instances of "prosecutorial abuse" regarding the Justice Department's investigation into the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, reports of whether the FBI politically targeted Catholics and prosecutions of anti-abortion protesters accused of impeding access to reproductive health clinics.

McConnell falls at Capitol, spotted in a wheelchair shortly after
Sen. Mitch McConnell took a fall on the steps in the Capitol today and was helped up by fellow senators.
Montana Sen. Steve Daines confirmed he assisted the 82-year-old former Republican leader in getting back onto his feet.
"I was right behind him and I helped him get back up, and he walked on his own power to lunch," Daines said.
McConnell attended the entirety of the GOP lunch, during which senators described him as being an "engaged" participant.
After the lunch, McConnell was escorted out by a swath of staffers, at least one of whom he appeared to be clutching onto for support.
"Senator McConnell is fine," a McConnell spokesperson said. "The lingering effects of polio in his left leg will not disrupt his regular schedule of work."

Ambassador to Israel nominee Mike Huckabee on Trump's Gaza plan: 'Old ideas haven't worked so maybe bold ideas will'
Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, President Donald Trump’s pick to be the U.S. ambassador to Israel, on Wednesday responded positively to the president's call for America to "take over" Gaza.
"Old ideas haven't worked so maybe bold ideas will," Huckabee told reporters on Capitol Hill this afternoon.
Huckabee first demurred when asked by reporters to react to Trump's comments, noting that he had to get through his confirmation process before articulating his own position.
"I think the president has some amazing ideas he’s putting forth," Huckabee had also said about Trump's plans.
