President Trump says military force will not be used to take control of Greenland, but he still wants the U.S. to acquire it. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Trump said he "won't use force" against the Danish territory that sits strategically between the U.S. and Europe. Trump is now pressing for "immediate negotiations." The majority of European leaders have balked at the idea of U.S. intervention in Greenland.        It appears the Supreme Court is backing Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook in her fight to stay on the job. The justices heard arguments in the case involving her firing in August by the Trump administration over mortgage fraud allegations. Court analysts say even the conservative justices seemed skeptical Trump had the authority to remove Cook. Cook has remained on the job, and a decision is expected later this year.        The full House could vote this week whether to find the Clintons in contempt of Congress. The House committee looking into the Jeffrey Epstein investigation started contempt proceedings today against former President Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton after they failed to show for their scheduled deposition. Bill Clinton has been featured in several Epstein photos, but has maintained he did nothing wrong during his associations with the deceased sex-trafficker.        The jury could soon start deliberating in the first trial connected to the slow police response to the mass shooting at an elementary school in Uvalde, Texas. Former Uvalde school officer Adrian Gonzales is accused of failing to engage the gunman after arriving at Robb Elementary School during the massacre May 24th, 2022. Nineteen children and two teachers were killed. Gonzales could face decades in prison if found guilty.        Fewer people are dying from it, but heart disease is still the number one cause of death in the U.S. That's according to a new report from the American Heart Association. The report shows heart disease death rates have dropped for the first time in five years.        Prince Harry is invoking his late-mother Diana in a privacy invasion trial involving the publisher of The Daily Mail. The British royal and other claimants like Elton John and Liz Hurley accuse the tabloid and its sister Sunday newspaper of breaking the law to gather information. Harry brought up Diana while on the stand, and what he calls her treatment at the hands of the press.
