Tech, Trump, and Troubles: Global Headlines Heat Up!

U.K. police are investigating Peter Mandelson, the United Kingdom's former ambassador to Washington, over claims he leaked sensitive government information to Jeffrey Epstein, according to NPR Politics. The investigation was reported on February 4, 2026.

In other news, the United States is considering removing its last forces from Syria, NPR Politics reported on February 4, 2026. This consideration comes as the U.S. weighs possible military action against Iran.

Meanwhile, court records revealed that the FBI was unable to access a Washington Post reporter's seized iPhone because it had Lockdown Mode enabled, a security feature that makes iPhones more secure, according to Hacker News. The records, filed as part of an investigation into leaks of classified information following a January raid on reporter Hannah Natanson's home, showed which devices the FBI could and could not access.

In the tech world, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman admitted to experiencing feelings of obsolescence while using his own company's AI tools, Fortune reported. In a post on X, Altman described building an app with Codex, the company's new AI coding agent, as "very fun at first" but said the mood shifted when he realized the system's ideas were better than his own. "I felt a little useless and it was sad," Altman stated.

Finally, President Trump's attempts to influence the Federal Reserve may have backfired, according to Fortune. Jerome Powell may remain chairman beyond his term, while Stephen Miran, a Trump supporter on the bank's rate-setting committee, is leaving his post. Trump had repeatedly criticized Powell and sought to shape monetary policy, including making legal threats.
