Multiple reports say Bondi underwent treatment, including surgery, and is now recovering well. Sources familiar with the situation say the diagnosis came after her departure from the Trump administration earlier this year. Bondi, who served as attorney general during President Donald Trump’s administration, has not publicly detailed her treatment but reportedly told CNN she is “doing well.” The news surfaced as reports emerged that Trump had appointed Bondi to a new White House advisory role focused on artificial intelligence policy.

Oil prices dropped sharply , falling to around $89 a barrel after reports suggested a possible peace agreement between the United States and Iran could reopen the Strait of Hormuz within the next month. The Strait of Hormuz is one of the world’s most critical shipping routes, carrying roughly 20 percent of the global oil supply. Any disruption in the region has major impacts on fuel prices and international markets. Investors reacted positively to reports that negotiations between Washington and Tehran are progressing, raising hopes that tensions in the Middle East could ease and energy shipments could stabilize. Despite the market optimism, officials say negotiations are still ongoing and no formal agreement has been finalized.

The Trump administration is proposing non-disclosure agreements for all current and future federal employees as part of a broader effort to crack down on leaks to the media. A draft notice posted by the Office of Personnel Management would require government workers to acknowledge their legal obligation to protect non-public, confidential and proprietary information. The proposal states that employees would still maintain the right to make disclosures authorized by law, including certain whistleblower protections. Officials are now seeking public comment on the proposed policy and whether it should apply only to unclassified information. The administration is also asking agencies to weigh what actions, if any, should be taken against employees who refuse to sign the agreements.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has won the Republican runoff for U.S. Senate, defeating longtime Senator John Cornyn. Paxton’s victory marks a major political shakeup in Texas and ends Cornyn’s decades-long hold on statewide Republican politics. Cornyn, a longtime fixture in Washington and former Senate Republican whip, faced growing criticism from conservative voters aligned with former President Donald Trump. Paxton, who has served as Texas attorney general since 2015, campaigned as a hardline conservative and closely aligned himself with Trump throughout the race. His win sets up a closely watched general election battle that could draw national attention and significant campaign spending.

Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara has resigned after city officials accused him of interfering with an internal investigation into his conduct. Mayor Jacob Frey says investigators found O’Hara deleted information from a city-issued phone and violated confidentiality orders during the probe. The investigation originally involved allegations of inappropriate relationships with city employees, though officials say those claims were never substantiated. Frey said O’Hara was facing disciplinary action that could have included termination, but chose to resign instead. The mayor called the decision necessary to maintain public trust in city leadership. O’Hara became Minneapolis police chief in 2022 as the department continued efforts to reform policing practices following the 2020 killing of George Floyd, which sparked nationwide protests and calls for police accountability. Assistant Chief Katie Blackwell will temporarily lead the department while the city searches for a new chief.
