In a video released Sunday evening, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell announced that he is under investigation by the Justice Department over his testimony last year about the Fed's building renovation project. Powell says the central bank has received grand jury subpoenas. He defended the renovations at the center of the criminal probe and denied any wrongdoing. He also claimed he is being targeted for not aligning with President Trump's preference for cutting interest rates. The president, who has been a public critic of Powell and his policies, says he had no knowledge of the investigation. Critics say this places the administration under scrutiny. This bombshell comes just as President Trump says he is winding down his search for the next Federal Reserve chair.

The CDC announced Monday a major overhaul of the U.S. childhood vaccine schedule, reducing the number of routine immunizations recommended for children. In December, President Trump directed Health and Human Services officials to examine how other developed nations schedule vaccines and to reconsider the U.S. approach. FDA Commissioner Dr. Marty Makary said the changes are intended to restore public trust in health institutions that was lost during the pandemic. However, criticism has been fierce. Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle have pushed back, and the American Academy of Pediatrics has called the move dangerous and unnecessary. Vaccine schedules are handled by the states, meaning states may continue to mandate certain vaccines for school attendance. The updated recommendations also do not eliminate insurance coverage for any vaccines. The CDC changes create three categories. The eleven vaccines that remain in the recommended category include measles, mumps, rubella, polio, pertussis, HPV, and chickenpox. A second category recommends vaccines for individuals considered high-risk, including hepatitis A and B and RSV. The third category includes vaccines available by personal choice after consultation with a doctor, including COVID-19, flu, rotavirus, and others. Earlier this week, former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield joined FOX News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal to discuss the new and reduced childhood vaccine schedule recommendations. Dr. Redfield, author of the new book Redfield's Warning: What I Learned (But Couldn't Tell You) Might Save Your Life, explained why he supports the changes, while also emphasizing the importance of doctors clearly explaining the benefits of vaccines. He also discussed why public trust has eroded and why encouraging vaccine choice and transparency could ultimately lead more Americans to get the shots needed to protect themselves from disease.

December's jobs numbers are out. The weaker-than-expected report showed payrolls rose just 50,000 last month, while the jobless rate dipped to 4.4 percent — suggesting people are leaving the workforce and reinforcing the “low-hire, low-fire” labor market narrative. While today's jobs data was mixed, Republicans say relief is on the way. Ever since President Trump signed the One Big Beautiful Bill Act of 2025 on July 4th of last year, the party has been touting its policies and telling constituents how they stand to gain from tax cuts taking effect this year. Some of that relief includes a higher standard deduction and an expanded child tax credit. The Big Beautiful Bill also included no tax on tips, Social Security, and overtime. However, Democrats have called the legislation the “big, beautiful betrayal,” saying it only helped America's richest. FOX Business' Gerri Willis speaks with Steve Moore, the cofounder of Unlead Prosperity and a former Trump economic advisor, about what Americans expect as the policies of the Big Beautiful Bill begin to roll out.

Venezuela's ousted leader, Nicolás Maduro, is now behind bars in a Brooklyn prison, facing charges that include narco-terrorism and weapons offenses. While support for the U.S. operation that led to Maduro's capture appears to fall largely along party lines, there is broad agreement that the imprisoned dictator's regime was brutal. United States Marine veteran Matthew Heath spent two years as one of Maduro's political prisoners and experienced that cruelty firsthand. Heath recounts how he was kidnapped by the Venezuelan government, the torture he endured, and what he hopes lies ahead for the country following Maduro's capture. The CDC is recommending a new, scaled-back childhood vaccine schedule, no longer broadly advising vaccines for protection against rotavirus, hepatitis A and B, certain forms of meningitis, or RSV. The Trump administration says the change will not prevent families who want the vaccines from accessing them, and that insurance coverage will remain in place. Critics, however, warn the move could create confusion for parents and potentially lead to an increase in preventable diseases. Former CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield joins the Rundown to explain why he believes it's important to take a fresh look at vaccines—while still emphasizing the need to educate the public about their benefits.

On Monday, Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro pleaded "not guilty" to charges brought against him by the Trump administration following his capture over the weekend in a U.S. operation. Maduro was arraigned on narco-terrorism, drug trafficking, and weapons charges. Following his arrest, some world leaders and Democrats in Congress have questioned the legality of removing Maduro from power. Former state and federal prosecutor Jim Trusty joins the Rundown to discuss the strength of the case against Maduro and whether other witnesses will cooperate. The arrest of Venezuela's Nicolás Maduro has sparked international backlash, emergency meetings at the United Nations, and condemnation from some U.S. allies. Supporters of President Trump's decision to greenlight Operation Absolute Resolve argue the move delivers a major blow not only to the country's drug networks, but also to American adversaries like Iran, Hezbollah, and China, which have expanded their presence in Venezuela and the region. Ian Bremmer, president and founder of the Eurasia Group, joins the Rundown to assess the challenges ahead—including the possibility of the U.S. using military force to secure offshore oil infrastructure and cut off Venezuela's exports—and how the Trump administration is reshaping American power and influence across the Western Hemisphere.
