Trump's Health, Ethics, & Olympics Dominate News

Concerns about former President Donald Trump's health have resurfaced, fueled by observations of his recent behavior and physical appearance, while the Justice Department navigates internal conflicts related to a major antitrust case. Meanwhile, the global scramble for critical minerals continues, and some Olympic athletes are still taking precautions against COVID-19.

According to Vox, questions about Trump's health have been circulating since his return to office a year prior. Observers noted rambling speeches, a mysterious bruise on his hand seen at the World Economic Forum on January 22, 2026, and swollen ankles. These observations have prompted speculation about his well-being.

Simultaneously, the Justice Department is grappling with internal divisions regarding a lawsuit against Live Nation. Multiple sources, including The Verge, reported that Live Nation executives were negotiating a settlement with pro-business officials within the DOJ, potentially bypassing the antitrust division and its chief, Gail Slater, who favored a trial. The 2024 lawsuit alleges Live Nation's monopolistic practices. The DOJ, however, has stated that AAG Slater is very much involved in the Live Nation matter and that it will always pursue what is in the best interest of the American people.

In other news, the demand for battery components is driving resource-rich nations to intensify mining efforts for critical minerals, according to Nature News. This has led to a scramble for strategic resources, with journalist Nicolas Niarchos's upcoming book, "The Elements of Power," exploring the human cost and geopolitical competition surrounding the extraction of these metals, particularly in places like the Democratic Republic of Congo.

Finally, even with relaxed COVID rules, some Winter Olympic athletes are still taking precautions. Cross-country skier Jessie Diggins is self-quarantining to protect her health, according to NPR News, echoing the extreme measures seen at the last Olympics in China. Diggins and her husband are prioritizing health, showing dedication to their sport.
