Trump promises to end birthright citizenship: What is it and could he do it?MongoDB (NASDAQ:MDB) Reports Strong Q3, Stock Jumps 10.4%US stocks tiptoed to more records amid a mixed Tuesday of trading, tacking a touch more onto what's already been a stellar year so far. On the losing end of Wall Street was US Steel, which fell 8%. President-elect Trump reiterated on social media that he would not let Japan's Nippon Steel take over the iconic Pennsylvania steelmaker. Nippon Steel announced plans last December to buy the Pittsburgh-based steel producer for $14.1 billion in cash, raising concerns about what the transaction could mean for unionized workers, supply chains, and US national security. Earlier this year, President Biden also came out against the acquisition. Tesla sank 1.6% after a judge in Delaware that the electric car maker must revoke Elon Musk's multibillion-dollar pay package. Treasury yields held relatively steady after a report showed US employers were advertising slightly more job openings at the end of October than a month earlier, the reports. The value of the South Korean won sank against the dollar after its president declared martial law and then later said he'll lift it. (More stories.)

Travis Hunter just won the Heisman Trophy, which was supposed to be one of the happiest moments of his life. Unfortunately, almost tragically, the only narrative that those on social media have latched onto surrounds his controversial fiancee, Leanna Lenee, rather than his unprecedented on-field exploits during the 2024 NCAA football season. The most recent development was the most salacious, as a video emerged of Lenee that caused Hunter to deactivate his Instagram. The internet sleuths lived up to their names on this one, as they found a video and a picture that pretty clearly depicts Lenee twerking on and cozying up to another man who’s not Hunter at a club. When the videos and pictures were taken is unknown, but either way, netizens believe that it’s not a great look for Lenee. However, former running back Shady McCoy has a different perspective. Following the uproar on social media, McCoy felt the need to step in. He tried to talk some sense into the people on the internet who seem to know what’s best for Hunter’s relationship at every turn. McCoy’s main point was that many of these Tweeters are the last people whose advice should be heeded on this topic. Not to mention that Hunter has one of the greatest mentors in sports right now in Deion Sanders , his coach for two years at Colorado and for another year prior to that at Jackson State. No doubt Coach Prime is speaking sense to Hunter right now. The discourse about Travis Hunter and Leanna Lenee’s relationship has become toxic. Hunter deactivating his account and focusing more on his upcoming Bowl game will certainly help with his mental health. Whether or not Lenee is indeed good for him is up to no one but him.VTEX Customers Drive $0.9 Billion in Black Friday-Cyber Monday Sales
The announcement caps a turbulent eight-day period in which Trump sought to capitalize on his decisive election win to force Senate Republicans to accept provocative selections like Gaetz, who had been investigated by the Justice Department before being tapped last week to lead it. The decision could heighten scrutiny on other controversial Trump nominees, including Pentagon pick Pete Hegseth , who faces sexual assault allegations that he denies. “While the momentum was strong, it is clear that my confirmation was unfairly becoming a distraction to the critical work of the Trump/Vance Transition,” Gaetz, a Florida Republican who one day earlier met with senators in an effort to win their support, said in a statement. “There is no time to waste on a needlessly protracted Washington scuffle, thus I’ll be withdrawing my name from consideration to serve as Attorney General. Trump’s DOJ must be in place and ready on Day 1," he added. Trump, in a social media post, said: “I greatly appreciate the recent efforts of Matt Gaetz in seeking approval to be Attorney General. He was doing very well but, at the same time, did not want to be a distraction for the Administration, for which he has much respect. Matt has a wonderful future, and I look forward to watching all of the great things he will do!” He did not immediately announce a new selection. Last week, he named personal lawyers Todd Blanche, Emil Bove and D. John Sauer to senior roles in the department. Another possible contender, Matthew Whitaker, was announced Wednesday as the U.S. ambassador to NATO. The withdrawal, just a week after the pick was announced, averts what was shaping up to be a pitched confirmation fight that would have tested how far Senate Republicans were willing to go to support Trump’s Cabinet picks. The selection of the fierce Trump ally over well-regarded veteran lawyers whose names had circulated as possible contenders stirred concern for the Justice Department's independence at a time when Trump has openly threatened to seek retribution against political adversaries. It underscored the premium Trump places on personal loyalty and reflected the president-elect's desire to have a disruptor lead a Justice Department that for years investigated and ultimately indicted him. In the Senate, deeply skeptical lawmakers sought more information about Justice Department and congressional investigations into sex trafficking allegations involving underage girls, which Gaetz has denied. Meanwhile, Justice Department lawyers were taken aback by the pick of a partisan lawmaker with limited legal experience who has echoed Trump's claims of a weaponized criminal justice system. As Gaetz sought to lock down Senate support, concern over the sex trafficking allegations showed no signs of abating. In recent days, an attorney for two women said his clients told House Ethics Committee investigators that Gaetz paid them for sex on multiple occasions beginning in 2017, when Gaetz was a Florida congressman. One of the women testified she saw Gaetz having sex with a 17-year-old at a party in Florida in 2017, according to the attorney, Joel Leppard. Leppard has said that his client testified she didn’t think Gaetz knew the girl was underage, stopped their relationship when he found out and did not resume it until after she turned 18. The age of consent in Florida is 18. "They’re grateful for the opportunity to move forward with their lives,” Leppard said Thursday of his clients. “They’re hoping that this brings final closure for all the parties involved.” Gaetz has vehemently denied any wrongdoing. The Justice Department’s investigation ended last year with no charges against him. Gaetz’s political future is uncertain. He had abruptly resigned his congressional seat upon being selected as attorney general, a move seen as a way to shut down the ethics investigation into sexual misconduct allegations. He did win reelection in November for the new Congress, which convenes Jan. 3, 2025, but he said in his resignation letter last week that he did not intend to take the oath of office. There are plans for a special election in Florida for his seat. Republicans on the House Ethics Committee declined this week to release the panel's findings, over objections from Democrats in a split vote. But the committee did agree to finish its work and is scheduled to meet again Dec. 5 to discuss the matter. As word of Gaetz's decision spread across the Capitol, Republican senators seemed divided. Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, who served with Gaetz in the House, called it a “positive move." Maine Sen. Susan Collins said Gaetz “put country first and I am pleased with his decision.” Others said they had hoped Gaetz could have overhauled the department. Florida Sen. Rick Scott, a close ally of Trump, said he was “disappointed. I like Matt and I think he would have changed the way DOJ is run.” Kentucky Sen. Rand Paul said he hopes Trump will pick someone “equally as tenacious and equally as committed to rooting out and eliminating bias and politicization at the DOJ.” Gaetz is not the only Trump pick facing congressional scrutiny over past allegations. A detailed investigative police report made public Wednesday shows that a woman told police that she was sexually assaulted in 2017 by Hegseth, the former Fox News host now tapped to lead the Pentagon, after he took her phone, blocked the door to a California hotel room and refused to let her leave. “The matter was fully investigated and I was completely cleared,” Hegseth told reporters Thursday at the Capitol, where he was meeting with senators to build support for his nomination.
