Former President Carter is being honored at the Capitol, where he will lie in state until his funeral on Thursday morning at the National Cathedral. Senators, Supreme Court justices and other officials are gathered in the Capitol's rotunda. Vice President Harris, Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) and Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) are expected make addresses in farewell speeches to Carter. Earlier Tuesday, President-elect Trump answered a plethora of questions from reporters in Mar-a-Lago on Tuesday, where he also announced a major investment in data centers in the Sun Belt and addressed his strategy in musing over takeovers of the Panama Canal and Greenland a day after his election was certified in Congress. Trump's remarks came as some of his legal cases were also making waves, including when U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon temporarily blocked the Justice Department from releasing special counsel Jack Smith’s report on his two prosecutions, granting a request from his legal team. A hearing involving his team's request to block his Jan. 10 sentencing in his hush money case in New York was also underway early Tuesday afternoon. Meanwhile in Congress, the House passed the Laken Riley Act. In the Senate, Trump's intelligence director nominee, Tulsi Gabbard, met with senators.
