Five Democratic senators have urged the Justice Department to investigate Elon Musk for potentially using his insider status in the Trump administration to pressure advertisers back to X. Concerns have arisen over Musk's influence, particularly after reports indicated that X pressured advertising firm Interpublic Group to increase spending, with implications for its merger with Omnicom Group. The senators warned that Musk's actions could violate criminal ethics laws if he leverages his position to harm businesses that do not advertise on X.
Jes Staley, former CEO of Barclays, is contesting a ban imposed by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) after being fined $2.2 million for misleading regulators about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein. Staley, who claims he was unaware of Epstein's criminal history, will appeal the ban starting March 3, amid concerns from associates that the appeal may reveal more details about their relationship. The FCA's investigation uncovered over 1,100 emails between Staley and Epstein, contradicting his earlier statements about their connection.
During a Senate hearing, tensions rose as Senator Sanders pressed Kennedy on healthcare guarantees, while Kennedy deflected and faced criticism for his financial ties to vaccine lawsuits. Meanwhile, Democrats boycotted a meeting to advance Russell Vought's nomination amid concerns over his budget management, and Elon Musk's GSA plans to cut federal leases faced backlash from employees. Additionally, Trump initiated an investigation into NPR and PBS, accusing them of violating federal laws, aligning with his broader agenda to undermine publicly funded media.
YouTube star MrBeast, alongside tech entrepreneur Jesse Tinsley, has made an all-cash bid to acquire TikTok's US operations, amid ongoing uncertainty about the app's future in the country. Former President Trump expressed openness to bids from tech billionaires, valuing TikTok at $1 trillion. The app briefly shut down due to regulatory pressures but was reinstated after Trump suspended enforcement of a law requiring its sale.
A Trump administration will halt most non-finalized regulations and review Biden-era rules, while potentially using the Congressional Review Act to expedite the process. New tariffs on imports may be proposed, with a focus on national security, and key government funding deadlines loom. The administration will also prioritize negotiations regarding Ukraine and address tax reforms, with significant political implications expected from upcoming gubernatorial elections in New Jersey and Virginia.
The second Trump presidency is expected to shift regulatory focus towards growth and innovation in banking, with changes in leadership at key financial agencies. Anticipated reforms may ease capital standards and facilitate fintech and cryptocurrency activities, while tax reform will likely prioritize the renewal of provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. Additionally, the SEC is poised for a change in enforcement and rulemaking, particularly regarding climate disclosure rules, as the new administration may seek to repeal recent mandates and adjust the agency's focus on capital formation.
The Senate approved several judicial nominees from the Biden administration, while the House passed bills on small business regulations and civic education. As Congress faces looming deadlines for government funding and a defense authorization bill, the focus shifts to immigration and tax legislation in the new year. The pharmaceutical industry braces for scrutiny with Robert F. Kennedy Jr. nominated as HHS Secretary, and the Republican majority in the House is set to dwindle, complicating legislative efforts.
President-elect Donald Trump has nominated former U.S. Senator Kelly Loeffler to lead the Small Business Administration, praising her as a "tremendous fighter" who will work to reduce red tape and support small businesses. Loeffler, who served in the Senate for just over a year, previously lost a runoff election to Democrat Raphael Warnock and has been involved in various business ventures, including founding RallyRight. Her nomination is subject to Senate confirmation.
Heavy snowfall from low pressure system Caetano has broken November records in Switzerland, causing significant traffic disruptions and affecting postal services. Meanwhile, a former army advisor faces a criminal complaint for billing over CHF 400,000 during the pandemic, and NATO convenes a meeting in response to Russia's missile threats against Ukraine. Additionally, Pam Bondi is nominated as Trump's new Attorney General, and Switzerland's energy outlook remains stable despite potential winter challenges.
