U.S. Women's Curling Team Makes Olympic History, While Other News Developments Unfold
In a historic moment for American curling, the U.S. women's team defeated Canada on Friday, marking the first time they have ever achieved such a victory in the Olympics. Meanwhile, other news developments include House Democrats demanding the Department of Justice cease tracking their search history related to Jeffrey Epstein files, and the upcoming broadcast of a CBS News interview with Gisèle Pelicot, the public face of a French mass rape trial.
The U.S. women's curling team's 9-8 nailbiter win over Canada was a significant achievement. "If that's true," said Taylor Anderson-Heide, a Minneapolis native, "I think we just played a really good game. They're No. 1 in the world." Tara Peterson of Shoreview, Minnesota, added, "It just always feels really good to beat (Canada skip) Rachel Homan. So any team to beat them, that's pretty impressive." Canada has medaled in every Winter Games since curling was added to the Olympics in 1998. The U.S. men previously beat the Canadians for the first time in the 2018 round-robin and again in the semifinals.
In other news, key House Democrats are calling for changes in how they access unredacted files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Representatives Jamie Raskin, Pramila Jayapal, and Robert Garcia sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi, urging the Justice Department to "develop a new protocol" that would allow members to "meaningfully" review the documents, according to ABC News. Jayapal has accused Bondi of "spying" on her search history.
On the political front, the co-hosts of the "I've Had It" podcast expressed concerns that a potentially more "diabolical" conservative politician could succeed President Trump, according to Fox News. They voiced worries that a future leader might be more effective and committed to their cause.
Additionally, CBS News will feature an interview with Gisèle Pelicot on "Sunday Morning." Pelicot, who became the public face of sexual abuse in 2024 during a notorious mass rape trial in France, will discuss her experience and her memoir, "A Hymn to Life: Shame Has to Change Sides." She will share her decision to testify in public.
Finally, Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos is facing increased scrutiny in the ongoing search for missing person Nancy Guthrie. Sheriff Nanos has been embroiled in controversy before, according to Fox News. He recently discussed the department's ongoing coordination with the FBI in the case.
