You\u2019re running a massive Epstein cover-up right out of the Department of Justice.\u201dAn uncomfortable and dramatic moment came when Representative Pramila Jayapal, a Washington Democrat, made an emotional appeal for Ms. Bondi to say she was sorry for the slapdash and sluggish release of the Epstein-related documents, which inadvertently included the disclosure of victims\u2019 names that were supposed to be redacted.Ms. Bondi appeared momentarily at a loss for words. Then something clicked and she began an attack at higher volume than any other voice in the room, accusing Ms. Jayapal of dragging the hearing into \u201cinto the gutter.\u201dMs. Bondi defended her actions in the Epstein case from the start. \u201cI\u2019m a career prosecutor,\u201d she said during her opening remarks, adding, \u201cI have spent my entire career fighting for victims, and will continue to do so.\u201dShe later taunted several of the committee\u2019s Democrats, including Mr. Raskin and Representative Jerrold Nadler of New York, for spearheading Mr. Trump\u2019s impeachments.\u201cHave you apologized to President Trump?\u201d asked Ms. Bondi, who has been eager to ingratiate herself to a White House that has been less than impressed by some of her actions, particularly on the Epstein matter.\u201cYou sit here and you attack the president, and I am not going to have it,\u201d added Ms. Bondi \u2014 who then launched into a discussion of economic statistics that elicited derisive laughter from Democrats on the panel.The last time Ms. Bondi appeared before a congressional panel was in October, when she stonewalled Democrats for four hours and read from a list of scripted insults in response to their questioning of her conduct.But Democrats, led by Mr. Raskin, seemed prepared to counter that stall-and-brawl strategy, much to Ms. Bondi\u2019s annoyance.\u201cWe saw your performance in the Senate, and we\u2019re not going to accept that,\u201d Mr. Raskin said.And he seemed to have an ally, at least procedurally, in the committee\u2019s Republican chairman, Representative Jim Jordan of Ohio, who gingerly but firmly directed the agitated witness from shouting over her questioners.The Epstein case, once an obsessive focus of the right, has now become a powerful political weapon wielded by Democrats in attacking President Trump and his appointees in the Justice Department and the F.B.I.For Republicans, the never-ending Epstein fiasco has defined Ms. Bondi\u2019s tenure in much the same way that her willingness to execute Mr. Trump\u2019s commands has tarnished her in the eyes of Democrats.Their defense of her was notably muted, and instead of engaging directly with Democrats, many sought to steer the discussion away from Mr. Epstein and onto safer ground \u2014 the department\u2019s efforts to combat street crime.Representative Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky and a member of the Judiciary Committee, has frequently criticized Ms. Bondi and her top deputy, Todd Blanche, over the handling of the files, accusing them of slow-walking or blocking the release of some material.Mr. Massie, a co-author of the bipartisan law that forced the Justice Department and F.B.I. to release all of the files, suggested in an interview on CNN on Tuesday that he would grill Ms. Bondi over the files. \u201cShe\u2019s been all over the map,\u201d he said, adding that she had \u201cno credibility\u201d over the matter.Democrats are also lining up to question Ms. Bondi on the Epstein files.But they are also expected to fiercely criticize the attorney general over her willingness to pursue dubious cases against Mr. Trump\u2019s foes, and over the Justice Department\u2019s actions after the killing of two U.S. citizens during protests against immigration enforcement in Minneapolis.The atmosphere is expected to be far different \u2014 and chillier \u2014 than her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last fall, when Republicans rallied to Ms. Bondi\u2019s defense in the face of withering questioning from Democrats.Oversight hearings have always had elements of political theater. But the approach taken by Ms. Bondi and the F.B.I. director, Kash Patel, has been different from that taken by their predecessors. It has been characterized by a refusal to even cursorily address questions they might view as inconvenient, and by the use of prepared attacks against Democrats to change the subject and drown out criticism.In the fall, Senator Sheldon Whitehouse, Democrat of Rhode Island, pressed Ms. Bondi about the Justice Department\u2019s decision to drop an investigation into Tom Homan, the Trump administration\u2019s border czar, who was recorded in September 2024 accepting a bag with $50,000 in cash in an undercover F.B.I. investigation.\u201cWhat became of the $50,000?\u201d Mr. Whitehouse asked.Ms. Bondi did not answer the question, and instead attacked Mr. Whitehouse by demanding to know why he once took campaign donations from Reid Hoffman, a Democratic donor named in the Epstein files.Democrats ridiculed her evasiveness.\u201cAttorney General Bondi made up nonsense to avoid answering,\u201d Mr. Whitehouse said.But her combativeness earned plaudits with the critic who mattered most, Mr. Trump, according to people in Ms. Bondi\u2019s orbit.Show moreFeb. 11, 2026, 2:02 p.m. ET2 hours agoGlenn ThrushJustice Department reporterBondi is facing a barrage of questions about the relationship between three senior Trump officials and Jeffrey Epstein. Representative Becca Balint, a Democrat from Vermont, asked Bondi if she planned to investigate Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick about his relationship with the sex offender, Bondi replied that he \u201chad addressed this himself.\u201dWhen Balint mistakenly referred to Bondi as \u201csecretary\u201d at one point, Bondi cut in and said, \u201cI am attorney general.\u201d Balint shot back, \u201cExcuse me, I couldn\u2019t tell.\u201dImageCredit...Eric Lee for The New York TimesFeb. 11, 2026, 1:06 p.m. ET3 hours agoGlenn ThrushJustice Department reporterAt the House Judiciary Committee hearing, there was an intense exchange between Attorney General Pam Bondi and Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, over the Justice Department\u2019s inadvertent release of victims\u2019 identities and the redactions of a purported co-conspirator\u2019s identity. \u201cWho is responsible?\u201d asked Massie, who co-wrote the law requiring the department to release the Epstein files. \u201cWho in your organization made this massive failure?\u201d Bondi responded by calling Massie \u201ca failed politician.\u201dVideoCreditCredit...House Judiciary, via Associated PressFeb. 11, 2026, 11:10 a.m. ET5 hours agoGlenn ThrushJustice Department reporterBondi has accused the Democrats of \u201ctheatrics\u201d in her appearance at a House Judiciary Committee hearing.

Cross\/The New York TimesPresident Trump said he told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel on Wednesday that he \u201cinsisted that negotiations with Iran continue\u201d over a possible deal over the country\u2019s nuclear program, as the Middle East remained on edge over American threats to attack.Mr. Trump said in a post on social media that \u201cnothing definitive\u201d came out of his meeting with Mr. Netanyahu at the White House. He said he told the Israeli leader that he preferred a deal with Iran, but warned that without one, \u201cwe will just have to see what the outcome will be.\u201dMr. Trump and Mr. Netanyahu have met repeatedly met since Mr. Trump began his second term, reflecting the extent to which cascading crises in Gaza, Israel and Iran have commanded the president\u2019s attention. During a 12-day-war between Israel and Iran last year, Mr. Trump ordered stealth bombers to join Israel in attacking Iran\u2019s nuclear facilities.Tensions in recent weeks have spurred fear of renewed conflict: After antigovernment protests in Iran prompted a brutal crackdown that killed thousands, Mr. Trump ordered a buildup of U.S. forces in the region and threatened to attack unless Iran cut a deal with Washington.Mr. Netanyahu had initially planned to travel to Washington later this month. But he announced last week that he would move up his visit to discuss Mr. Trump\u2019s continuing negotiations with Iran over its nuclear and weapons program, which Israel considers an existential threat.While Mr. Trump has mostly emphasized that Iran must agree to \u201cno nuclear weapons,\u201d Israel is also concerned about Iran\u2019s stockpiles of ballistic missiles. Iranian forces fired scores of missiles at Israel during their war last year, some of which landed in densely populated cities despite the country\u2019s sophisticated aerial defenses.In a statement following his meeting with Mr. Trump on Wednesday, Mr. Netanyahu said he had \u201cemphasized Israel\u2019s security needs in the context of the negotiations\u201d with Iran without providing specifics.The crisis in Iran began late last year, when economic protests prompted by spiraling inflation escalated into a mass movement challenging the country\u2019s authoritarian government. Iranian leaders began a brutal crackdown that left thousands dead and quelled the demonstrations.In response, Mr. Trump sent an aircraft carrier and other U.S. forces to the Middle East. He has since vacillated between threatening to attack Iran and seeking a favorable diplomatic settlement.Last week, senior officials from the United States and Iran met for talks in Oman, the Gulf country that has often served as a mediator between the two adversaries. But the sides did not appear to have made much progress.American officials have demanded an end to Iranian nuclear enrichment, restrictions on the construction of ballistic missiles and for Iran to stop sponsoring armed groups like Hezbollah across the Middle East. Iran has insisted that the talks be confined to its nuclear program, and that its ballistic missile arsenal cannot be negotiated away.Mr. Netanyahu has called for a broad deal with Iran, saying last week that the talks must include restricting Iranian missiles and proxy militias. He was fiercely critical of the Obama-era 2015 nuclear deal with Iran, from which Mr. Trump later withdrew.Mr. Trump has suggested that he could take military action against Iran should the talks break down, as it did last June during the Israel-Iran war. While Mr. Trump initially claimed that the Iranian nuclear project had been obliterated, American intelligence later determined that it had been damaged, not destroyed.\u201cTime is running out,\u201d Mr. Trump wrote on social media in late January, adding that \u201cthe next attack will be far worse\u201d than last year\u2019s assault.Adam Rasgon and Luke Broadwater contributed reporting.Show moreFeb. 11, 2026, 2:04 p.m. ET2 hours agoLuke BroadwaterWhite House reporterThe meeting between President Trump and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel at the White House ended at about 1:30 p.m. The leaders met for about two and a half hours.Trump wrote on Truth Social that his meeting with Netanyahu produced no definitive agreement about how to approach Iran. \u201cThere was nothing definitive reached other than I insisted that negotiations with Iran continue to see whether or not a Deal can be consummated,\u201d he wrote. \u201cIf it can, I let the Prime Minister know that will be a preference.

President Trump\u2019s asserted in a social media post last month that hundreds of millions of dollars in Venezuelan oil proceeds would be \u201ccontrolled by me.\u201dCredit...Adriana Loureiro Fernandez for The New York TimesCongressional Democrats are escalating their efforts to ensure more oversight of hundreds of millions of dollars in Venezuelan oil proceeds being controlled by the Trump administration in what they say is an unregulated and opaque arrangement susceptible to corruption.Top Senate Democrats introduced legislation on Wednesday calling on the White House to submit to independent accounting of the funds and their uses after lawmakers unsuccessfully pressed Cabinet officials for justification for the administration\u2019s approach. Democrats said their goal was to force the administration to close offshore accounts holding the money and instead use domestic financial institutions that would be subject to congressional oversight.They said President Trump\u2019s plan for the money, which he asserted in a social media post last month would be \u201ccontrolled by me,\u201d was his latest attempt to make an end run around Congress and the law.\u201cThe American people deserve to know what\u2019s happening with the money received from these Venezuelan oil payments and where \u2014 and to whom \u2014 they are going,\u201d said Senator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, who proposed the measure along with Senator Adam B. Schiff, Democrat of California.He added, \u201cThere is no reason that Trump should be circumventing the U.S. banking system and lining the pockets of his big oil buddies rather than driving down costs for hard-working Americans.\u201dThe legislation comes after Democratic members of the House and Senate were not satisfied with explanations from administration officials about how they were handling the supervision and disbursement of as much as $500 million in proceeds from the sale of Venezuelan oil under U.S. authority. Officials said the money is being held in a Qatari account.During recent testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of State Marco Rubio framed the approach as an emergency arrangement to avert chaos and ensure stability through a transition period after the United States removed Venezuela\u2019s leader, Nicol\u00e1s Maduro. Mr. Rubio repeatedly promised that audits would be conducted, but he acknowledged that major elements of the arrangement were still being established.Mr. Rubio\u2019s assurances were thrown into doubt just days later during a House hearing with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent. Mr. Bessent said he was not aware of a finalized agreement governing the Venezuelan oil funds and confirmed that no audit agreement was in place. When asked repeatedly under what statutory authority the Treasury Department was exercising custody and control over the money, Mr. Bessent cited the International Emergency Economic Powers Act but struggled to explain how it applied. He promised to \u201cget back\u201d to lawmakers with a written explanation.ImageTreasury Secretary Scott Bessent said during a House hearing that he was not aware of a finalized agreement governing the Venezuelan oil funds.Credit...Eric Lee for The New York TimesDemocrats who participated in the hearings said it appeared there was no legal underpinning for how the administration was collecting, banking or disbursing the money.\u201cNeither I nor any of my colleagues have any idea under what legal authority the United States is claiming title to the sovereign assets of another country,\u201d said Representative Sean Casten, Democrat of Illinois, who questioned Mr. Bessent on the issue. He noted that comparable cases of the United States seeking to control foreign oil, such as in Iraq, were backed by congressional authorization and U.N. Security Council approval.Senator Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii, also raised questions about the legality of the system after he questioned Mr. Rubio.\u201cIt is not obvious to me that they have permission to just establish an overseas account,\u201d Mr. Schatz said.He and other lawmakers said the administration was operating outside the appropriations process and federal law that requires that it spend only money appropriated by Congress or deposit excess dollars it collects into the Treasury under the control of Congress.\u201cIf it were to be expended, then I think it is subject to something called \u2018miscellaneous receipts,\u2019 and the money would have to be appropriated,\u201d Mr. Schatz said in an interview, referring to the law that requires federal officials to hand over any money to the Treasury unless they are explicitly authorized by another statute not to. \u201cI don\u2019t think they know what their plan is.\u201dAdministration spending to advance foreign policy objectives outside congressional scrutiny has led to trouble in the past, The Iran-contra scandal of the mid-1980s occurred when the Reagan administration diverted proceeds from secret arms sales to Iran to support anti-communist rebels in Nicaragua despite a congressional prohibition on doing so.ImageSenator Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii, said the administration was operating outside the appropriations process.Credit...Eric Lee for The New York TimesThe administration says its handling of the oil money is intended to prevent creditors who are owed huge sums by Venezuela from trying to seize the funds. That framework is backed by an executive order from January declaring the oil revenue to be the \u201csovereign property of the government of Venezuela held in custody by the United States, and not as the property of the United States,\u201d while authorizing the U.S. Treasury to release it as directed by the secretary of state.Mr. Casten warned that without clear legal authority and formal controls, the arrangement could amount to a \u201cfraudulent conveyance\u201d or illegal transfer of property to avoid creditors, especially given both Qatar and Venezuela\u2019s history of corruption and the involvement of oil traders previously accused of bribery. The administration has countered that the money never technically enters U.S. hands, a distinction Mr. Rubio repeatedly emphasized at his hearing.Senator Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire, the top Democrat on the Foreign Relations Committee, warned that \u201cAmerica\u2019s dollars are still going to drug runners and to significant organizations who we don\u2019t want to have benefit from the funding.\u201dMr. Rubio conceded that U.S. officials were \u201cdealing with individuals that have been involved in things that in our system would not be acceptable,\u201d but insisted the arrangement was temporary.\u201cWe are in the transition and stabilization phase,\u201d he said. \u201cBy no means is our policy to leave in place something permanent that\u2019s as corrupt as you\u2019ve described.\u201dWhether the new legislation can attract any G.O.P. backing is in question, but some Republicans have privately questioned the legality of the Trump administration\u2019s handling of the oil money. The proposed legislation calls for the nonpartisan Government Accountability Office to begin an audit within 30 days of its approval and to issue its findings to Congress within 90 days of completing its work. It is also to report to Congress if the administration obstructs its efforts.\u201cThe American people deserve to know more about this scheme and where the money is going,\u201d Mr. Schiff said. \u201cThis independent audit would help deliver answers.\u201dShow moreFeb. 11, 2026, 11:10 a.m. ET5 hours agoRobert JimisonReporting from the CapitolImageTrucks crossing the Ambassador Bridge connecting Windsor, Canada, with Detroit.Credit...Ian Willms for The New York TimesThe House is set on Wednesday to consider a Democratic-written measure that would rescind tariffs President Trump imposed on Canada last year, taking a largely symbolic but politically consequential vote that Republicans have fought for a year to prevent.The measure, sponsored by Representative Gregory W. Meeks of New York, the top Democrat on the Foreign Affairs Committee, offers the House its first opportunity to formally register support or opposition to Mr. Trump\u2019s trade policy since he began deploying tariffs as an economic strategy upon his return to the White House.It is unlikely to have any practical effect given that Mr. Trump almost certainly would veto it, but the measure\u2019s movement through the House reflects frustration among some G.O.P. lawmakers about Congress continuing to cede its authority over trade matters to the White House, and concern that voters are being hurt by the levies.And it will force Republicans who are staring down difficult midterm re-election races to go on the record either backing tariffs that some of their constituents oppose or angering the president.It comes after House Republican leaders, who have blocked such a vote for months using procedural tricks, failed this week to muster the support in their own ranks to push it off once more. Three Republicans crossed party lines on Tuesday night to defeat that effort and clear the way for tariff challenges to be considered.\u201cPresident Trump brags about the money generated from tariffs, but it is money ripped right out of the wallets of working families,\u201d Mr. Meeks said in urging colleagues to support his measure.Last February, Mr. Trump invoked the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to declare a national security emergency and impose tariffs of 25 percent on all imports from Canada and Mexico, as well as 10 percent on products from China. He cited border security failures tied to drug trafficking and illegal migration.Wednesday\u2019s measure in the House is aimed at ending the emergency declaration used to justify the Canadian tariffs, though Democrats have queued up additional challenges aimed at the global tariffs issued in April as well as those on Mexico, China and Brazil.A similar set of resolutions passed the Senate last October, when three Republicans joined all Democrats in backing legislation challenging the president\u2019s emergency-based tariff authority.But while a handful of Republicans have joined Democrats\u2019 challenges to Mr. Trump\u2019s approach, the defections fall far short of the two-thirds majority needed in both chambers to override a veto.It is not clear how the Republican defectors who allowed the vote to go forward \u2014 Representatives Don Bacon of Nebraska, Kevin Kiley of California and Thomas Massie of Kentucky \u2014 will ultimately vote.Even after his own members dealt him a stinging defeat on the House floor on the matter on Tuesday night, Speaker Mike Johnson, Republican of Louisiana, argued that Congress had no business intervening in Mr. Trump\u2019s trade policy.\u201cThe tariffs have been a tool that the president has used very effectively to level the playing field and put America back on top, and I think it\u2019s wrong for Congress to step in the middle of that,\u201d Mr. Johnson said Wednesday morning in an interview on Fox Business.He also noted that the question of the president\u2019s power is the subject of a case before the Supreme Court, which heard oral arguments in November on the legality of Mr. Trump\u2019s tariffs. Six companies and several states have argued that the president exceeded his authority by using the emergency statute to impose them on nearly every U.S. trading partner.During oral arguments, key members of the court\u2019s conservative majority joined liberal justices in sharply questioning the administration\u2019s assertion that it has the power to unilaterally impose tariffs without congressional approval. Several justices also noted that Mr. Trump was the first president to claim that the decades-old emergency statute authorized tariffs.Justice Neil M. Gorsuch, a conservative, expressed concern during that a decision upholding the president\u2019s tariffs could lead to a \u201cone-way ratchet\u201d toward more power in the executive branch and \u201caway from the people\u2019s elected representatives\u201d in Congress. He emphasized the importance of the power to tax, telling the president\u2019s lawyer, \u201cthe power to reach into the pockets of the American people is just different.\u201dAnn E.

He has slashed taxes, raised tariffs to their highest levels in almost a century, unilaterally canceled federal spending, pushed down immigration and pressured the Federal Reserve to sharply lower interest rates.When it comes to the overall federal budget, though, the effect of these dramatic changes has nearly been a wash. The country is still on track to borrow what economists consider an alarming amount of money in the coming years. But the situation, on paper at least, has gotten only somewhat worse, but not significantly, under Mr. Trump\u2019s unorthodox policy mix.Those were the findings of the Congressional Budget Office, the nonpartisan scorekeeper, in its annual benchmark forecast for the federal budget released on Wednesday. Compared with its projections from January 2025, before Mr. Trump took office, the federal government is now expected to run a $23.1 trillion shortfall over the next nine years, rather than a $21.8 trillion one, a $1.4 trillion wider gap.The C.B.O. said that the amount of debt held by the public is expected to become much larger than the annual output of the economy, reaching 120 percent of gross domestic product in 2036. That would surpass levels reached in the aftermath of World War II and put the world\u2019s most important economy at risk of a destabilizing debt crisis.\u201cOur budget projections continue to indicate that the fiscal trajectory is not sustainable,\u201d said Phillip Swagel, the director of the budget office.There is reason to expect that the fiscal situation could become even more precarious, despite the fact that the budgetary effects of Mr. Trump\u2019s economic policies appear, for now, to almost cancel one another out.The most expensive policy change made so far by Republicans and Mr. Trump has been the broad income tax cuts they passed last year. That law, which provided its biggest benefits to the rich as it also cut spending on programs for the poor, came in at a total cost of roughly $4.7 trillion over the next nine years, the C.B.O. said. The biggest source of new money, Mr. Trump\u2019s tariffs, is projected to raise roughly $3 trillion over that same time frame.In reality, though, the cost of the tax cuts could end up far exceeding the revenue generated by the tariffs. When they passed the tax cuts, Republicans took the unprecedented procedural step of locking many of them in permanently, meaning the cuts would require another act of Congress to reverse them, an unlikely event. Indeed, some of the tax cuts Republicans passed last year are only temporary, and lawmakers may renew them in the future, further reducing revenue.Many of Mr. Trump\u2019s tariffs are mired in deep legal and political uncertainty. The Supreme Court could soon throw many of them out. If the tariffs survive the legal challenge or Mr. Trump replaces them with different levies, a future president could, with a stroke of the pen, immediately slash the remaining import taxes.That would leave the federal government with a far more meager revenue source just as the country confronts the budget crunch created by Social Security, the most expensive federal program. For years, as the population has aged, the amount of money spent on the retirement program has outpaced the amount of tax paid into it by younger working Americans, driving wider deficits.Social Security\u2019s flagship trust fund, paper savings built up when tax revenues for the program exceeded costs, is now expected to run out in 2032, a year earlier than previously expected, the C.B.O. said. The exhaustion of the trust fund will force Congress to decide on a new way of financing Social Security to avoid a deep, across-the-board cut to benefits.At the same time, Mr. Trump\u2019s crackdown on immigration is also putting pressure on America\u2019s fiscal situation, the C.B.O. said. The budget office expects the American population to have 5.3 million fewer people in 2035 than it previously expected, reducing projected tax revenue, with an overall budget hit of roughly $500 billion over that time frame.The ultimate arbiter of Washington\u2019s spending habits is the bond market, where investors buy and sell the government\u2019s debt. The risk is that investors begin to doubt that the United States will pay back its debts and start demanding higher interest rates, stunting borrowing across the economy. Larger debts and higher interest rates also increase spending, forcing the government to borrow even more.At nearly $1 trillion last fiscal year, the net cost of interest on the debt ranks with Social Security and Medicare as one of the government\u2019s biggest expenses. The United States already spends more financing its debt than it does on defense. By 2036, the budget office projected that interest costs could nearly match the total discretionary spending approved by Congress every year.Mr. Trump has agitated for the Federal Reserve to lower short-term interest rates to reduce the government\u2019s borrowing costs, part of a broad attack on the central bank\u2019s independence. \u201cWe are again the strongest Country in the World, and should therefore be paying the LOWEST INTEREST RATE, by far,\u201d he wrote in a social media post on Wednesday. \u201cThis would be an INTEREST COST SAVINGS OF AT LEAST ONE TRILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR \u2014 BALANCED BUDGET, PLUS. WOW!\u201dBut the Fed sets interest rates to hold down inflation and keep employment stable, not to reduce borrowing costs for the federal government. If investors started to believe that the Fed instead set short-term interest rates in response to demands from the White House, that could actually raise long-term interest rates, further adding to the government\u2019s borrowing costs.\u201cThe perception of a less independent central bank could lead to greater uncertainty in expectations of monetary policy, or expectations of higher inflation, and that would translate into higher long-term interest rates,\u201d Mr. Swagel said at a news conference. \u201cWe don\u2019t have that in our forecast.\u201dWhile the budget office expects long-term interest rates to be slightly higher than it previously forecast as a result of the additional borrowing, Mr. Swagel said the outlook was still \u201cbenign.\u201dShow moreFeb. 11, 2026, 9:41 a.m. ET7 hours agoMichael GoldSenator Chuck Schumer, Democrat of New York and the minority leader, said in a social media post that his party would not support a stopgap bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security, raising the threat of a shutdown of the agency when funding lapses this weekend. Bipartisan talks have appeared deadlocked as Democrats push for new guardrails on federal immigration enforcement operations. Republicans have outright rejected many of the proposed restrictions. Feb. 11, 2026, 12:30 a.m. ETFeb. 11, 2026Mattathias SchwartzReporting on the federal courtsImageBody camera footage from the shooting of Marimar Martinez in Chicago in October.Credit...U.S. Attorney's Office for the Northern District of IllinoisShortly after a Border Patrol agent shot a 30-year-old Chicago woman five times, Gregory Bovino, who was leading the federal government\u2019s immigration raids across the city, reached out to offer his congratulations.\u201cIn light of your excellent service in Chicago, you have much yet left to do!!\u201d he wrote to the agent.The email is part of a trove of evidence relating to the Oct. 4 shooting of Marimar Martinez, a teacher\u2019s assistant and U.S. citizen, that was released by federal prosecutors on Tuesday night. The material was assembled when the government was pursuing a now-defunct criminal case against Ms. Martinez, alleging that she used her car to assault federal agents and prevent them from enforcing immigration laws in Chicago amid widespread protests.Prosecutors dropped the charges after lawyers for Ms. Martinez, who survived the shooting, raised concerns about the preservation of evidence.Her lawyers then asked the judge to release evidence gathered during the criminal case, arguing that because the government had branded her a \u201cdomestic terrorist,\u201d Ms. Martinez deserved a chance to clear her name.Coming after a string of shootings by federal agents, including the killings of two protesters in Minnesota, the materials offer a moment-by-moment window into the violence that has accompanied President Trump\u2019s attempt to forcibly overhaul immigration enforcement in U.S. cities.The email from Mr. Bovino is among a series of text messages sent by Charles Exum, the agent who shot Ms. Martinez, and other federal agents. Mr. Exum appears to have taken a screenshot of Mr. Bovino\u2019s email and texted it to a family member.On the day of the shooting, Mr. Exum wrote in a text message that \u201cshe was trying to run me over.\u201d \u201cI did what I had to do to save my life,\u201d he later testified, also telling the court that \u201cthe group of agents that I\u2019m friends with\u201d texted as a part of \u201crelieving stress.\u201d The newly released texts show Mr. Exum\u2019s messages quickly became filled with backslapping and boasts after the shooting. In one text, a colleague called him \u201ca legend among agents.\u201d\u201cDamn!!\u201d wrote another. \u201cI leave for a few weeks and it turns into Iraq.\u201dMr. Bovino and a spokesman for D.H.S. did not respond to requests for comment. The White House referred questions to D.H.S. and the Justice Department.In the evidence released on Tuesday are three videos that show the interior of Mr. Exum\u2019s S.U.V. in the moments leading up to the collision with Ms. Martinez, who was following his vehicle. She has said she was honking her horn and shouting \u201cLa migra,\u201d the Spanish term for immigration authorities. In a statement on the day of the shooting, a spokeswoman for the Department of Homeland Security said that Ms. Martinez had \u201crammed\u201d federal agents. In court, Mr. Exum said the collision was \u201cside to side.\u201dOne of the videos shows that agents inside the S.U.V. had their weapons drawn before the collision. \u201cIt\u2019s time to get aggressive,\u201d one can be heard saying. \u201cBecause they\u2019re trying to box us in.\u201d\u201cWe\u2019re gonna make contact and we\u2019re boxed in,\u201d said another.A few seconds later, the video shows Mr. Exum turning the steering wheel sharply to the left. The vehicle appears to shake from an impact and stop. Mr. Exum jumps out, and the video captures the sound of five gunshots.Also included in the release were photographs of the Chevrolet Tahoe that Mr. Exum was driving, the bloody interior of Ms. Martinez\u2019s Nissan Rogue and the bloodstained floor of an auto shop where Ms. Martinez drove after the shooting. There were photographs of a handgun she carried in her purse and did not remove during the incident, and a federal form identifying her as its lawful buyer.In a statement, Ms. Martinez\u2019s attorney, Christopher V. Parente, criticized federal prosecutors for their unannounced release of the material, calling it a \u201cmisguided attempt to take the sting out of just how damaging it is to the government.\u201d In court, Mr. Parente has repeatedly called on the administration to retract its characterization of his client as a \u201cdomestic terrorist,\u201d a label that officials have also applied to Renee Good and Alex Pretti, the two protesters killed by federal agents in Minnesota.Mr. Exum testified in court that he had been with the Border Patrol for more than 20 years, and was assigned to a station in Maine, near the U.S.-Canada border, before being assigned to temporary duty in Chicago as part of Operation Midway Blitz, the administration\u2019s effort to surge forces into the city.In another text message sent after he shot Ms. Martinez, he appears to claim that Mr. Bovino passed along kudos from the highest levels of the executive branch.\u201cAre they supportive?\u201d asked another member of the group text thread.\u201cBig time,\u201d Mr. Exum responded. \u201cEveryone has been including Chief Bovino, Chief Banks, Sec Noem and El Jefe himself \u2026 according to Bovino.\u201dMr. Bovino was reassigned from his role as the frontline \u201ccommander at large\u201d after the administration shifted its immigration surge effort from Chicago to Minneapolis, where there were two fatal shootings of protesters.Since the Oct. 4 shooting, Ms. Martinez has given an interview to \u201c60 Minutes\u201d and spoken before congressional Democrats on Capitol Hill. \u201cPrior to this recent war on immigrants,\u201d she said, \u201cwe were a country where law enforcement acted lawfully and appropriately with respect for all human life.\u201dMr. Parente said she planned to attend Mr. Trump\u2019s next State of the Union address, which is scheduled for later this month.Show more",
