Lawmakers in New Jersey and beyond grew worried Friday about the now-regular spotting of drones over the state, with officials calling for answers and more transparency from federal agencies. It's been 10 days since the FBI office in Newark put out a public plea for information about sightings of "possible drones." On Thursday, Monmouth County Sheriff Shaun Golden asked for federal help. Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.) is calling for "transparency" over the situation. In Europe, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has been hospitalized while in Luxembourg after a reported fall. In Washington, D.C., Senate Democrats are seething over "nays" from outgoing Sens. Joe Manchin (I-W.Va.) and Kyrsten Sinema (I-Ariz.) in a critical vote. Congress is barreling toward a government shutdown deadline in just a week. Republicans on Friday in the House also picked more chairs for their committees next year. And President-elect Trump's nominees are meeting mixed reactions on Capitol Hill, with Defense pick Pete Hegseth getting a warmer reception, thanks to a shift in Trump's tactics, and director of national intelligence pick Tulsi Gabbard finding resistance among senators. Read a recap of Friday's news below.
