A new federal rule would make it easier for companies to use drones over longer distances out of sight of the operator without having to go through a cumbersome waiver process. The federal government had already approved 657 waivers to allow companies to do this, but the waiver process made it difficult. The industry has long pressed for this rule because being able to operate drones out of sight opens up a multitude of possibilities for their use. Being able to do this enables more use of drones for deliveries, inspecting infrastructure like bridges and power lines and other uses in agriculture over thousands of acres on large farms.

The president said he has narrowed the field of potential Fed chair candidates to four and that Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is not on the list. He told CNBC that Bessent has taken himself out of contention. Jerome Powell, whose Fed term ends next May, has been brutally ridiculed by Donald Trump for not lowering interest rates.

Violent crime fell 4.5% in the United States last year, marking the second consecutive annual decline, while hate crimes decreased by 1.5%, the FBI said in its annual national crime report released on Tuesday. The report is based on data collected from 16,675 state and local law enforcement agencies, which together represent about 86% of the FBI’s crime data reporting program. It showed a decline in overall crime across the country following a pandemic-era spike. There was a 14.9% drop in murder and non-negligent manslaughter – the lowest rate in nine years – and a 5.2% decline in incidents of rape. It said 64 law enforcement officers had been feloniously killed in the line of duty last year. Firearms were involved in 46 of those deaths, according to a summary of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program report, which noted that assaults on law enforcement reached a 10-year high in 2024, with 85,730 officers assaulted in the line of duty. Not all law enforcement agencies provide this data to the FBI, and metrics used for the provided data are not always the same across agencies and jurisdictions. The summary report also highlighted nationwide decreases in property crime offenses in 2024. It said property crime decreased 8.1%, with burglaries down 8.6%. There was an estimated 18.6% decline in motor vehicle theft. “Relevant data helps police fight violent crime by aiding in resource allocation and it helps families learn more about their communities,” FBI Assistant Director Timothy Ferguson said on a call with reporters on Tuesday. In the next few weeks, FBI officials said, the bureau will start releasing monthly reports to better assist law enforcement agencies. “As we move toward monthly data releases and more agencies submit diverse data on a more frequent basis we can produce an even more timely and accurate picture of crimes in the United States,” Ferguson said.

The House Oversight Committee has subpoenaed the Department of Justice for files in the sex trafficking investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, part of a congressional probe that lawmakers believe may show links to President Donald Trump and other former top officials. The Republican-controlled committee also issued subpoenas for depositions with former President Bill Clinton, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and eight former top law enforcement officials. The committee’s actions showed how even with lawmakers away from Washington on a monthlong break, interest in the Epstein files is still running high.
