More photos from the estate of Jeffrey Epstein have been released by House Democrats. Nineteen photos were released in total on Friday with one showing President Trump with six women whose faces are redacted. Others show Epstein with Steve Bannon, former President Clinton, and director Woody Allen. Another photo shows Bill Gates with former Prince Andrew.        President Trump is honoring the "Miracle on Ice" USA hockey team today. President Trump signed a bill to award the 1980 Olympic gold medal winning team congressional medals, calling them "true legends." Trump added that it was the greatest sports moment he ever witnessed. Captain Mike Eruzione [[ eh-roo-zee-OH-nee ]], goaltender Jim Craig and other team members attended the ceremony in the Oval Office. The team famously defeated the Soviet Union on its way to winning the gold medal.        The Midwest is in for subzero temps and brutally cold windchills as more arctic air hits the region. Today the freeze will start in the Northern Plains before heading into the Central Plains, Midwest and Great Lakes area by Saturday. In some places, highs might not get above the single digits. Sunday will see temperatures plunge in the Northeast and large swaths of the South. By Monday, cold air will reach the Southeast, including Northern Florida.        The man accused of shooting and killing a healthcare executive last December was in court Friday. The judge on Friday looked at body camera footage from local police officers who arrested Luigi Mangione in Altoona, Pennsylvania. Two of the officers testified they did not need a search warrant when looking through Mangione's backpack once they arrested him. Mangione's attorneys are arguing the evidence should be thrown out, because they did not have a warrant when they searched the backpack.        Kilmar Abrego Garcia will remain free for now. A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from re-detaining Abrego Garcia at a scheduled check-in today. It comes after the same judge ruled yesterday that the White House didn't have the legal authority to keep him at a detention center. Abrego Garcia, who Homeland Security claims is an illegal immigrant and gang member, has been fighting deportation attempts for month.        Skier Lindsey Vonn has won her 83rd World Cup Race. The 41-year-old also became the oldest Alpine skier in history to win the race after she emerged from nearly six years of retirement last year. Vonn started at 17th with a slow open and then tore through the final sections of the course, winning in one minute and 29-point-63 seconds. Her World Cup win is the first downhill race of a season that is building toward the 2026 Olympics, which would be her fifth and final Winter Games.
