The Trump administration intends to push for new labels on seafood sold at grocery stores to give consumers a better idea of where products originated, two U.S. officials told CBS News.

However, the “U.S. Caught Seafood” label, proposed by the Food and Drug Administration, wouldn’t be mandatory.

President Trump was expected to mention seafood during his pitch to voters in Florida on Friday afternoon. He is stumping in Fort Myers for Senate candidate Ashley Moody and gubernatorial candidate Byron Donalds before spending the night at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Palm Beach.

The White House has prepared economy-related perks to roll out in each of the states he visits in the final campaign blitz before the midterm elections.

Most seafood eaten in the U.S. is imported, government data shows. About 80% of the seafood Americans ate in 2023 came from abroad, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. U.S. commercial fishermen caught seafood valued at $5.1 billion in 2023, while the U.S. imported $25 billion worth.

The Trump administration was also preparing $5 billion in loans targeted at the fishing industry so that it can buy new equipment, according to U.S. officials. The loans would be through the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

Buttigieg endorses independent candidate Seth Bodnar over Democratic nominee in Montana Senate race

October 23, 2026 / 12:23 PM EDT / CBS News

Former U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has endorsed the independent candidate in the Montana Senate race, Seth Bodnar, over the Democratic nominee, Bodnar’s campaign announced Friday.

“The best leaders I’ve served with, in uniform and in government, care more about getting the job done than about who gets the credit, and Seth is one of them,” Buttigieg, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, said in a statement. “Seth and I don’t agree on everything, but he has spent his adult life serving this country and the next generation, from the Army Green Berets to the University of Montana, and he’ll bring that same character to the Senate on behalf of all Montanans.”

Bodnar said he was “honored to have Secretary Buttigieg’s support, and proud that people across the political spectrum are joining this campaign.”

He says that if he’s elected senator, he will not caucus with Democrats or Republicans, remaining independent. Bodnar, 47, a retired U.S. Army Green Beret who graduated first in his West Point class, is a Rhodes scholar and was until recently the president of the University of Montana. He’s running against Democratic nominee Alani Bankhead and Republican nominee Kurt Alme.

Montana is considered a solidly GOP state, with far more voters who have cast ballots for Republican candidates than Democrats. Bodnar’s resume and platform of independence, affordability and fighting corruption appear to be winning some support with Montanans, and as a result, Bankhead has faced calls to drop out of the race to give him a better shot at victory. With both on the ballot, they are likely to split the support of those who are not voting for Alme.

Republican Sen. Steve Daines’ abrupt decision to not seek reelection shortly before the March filing deadline opened the vacancy.

President Trump held a rally in Montana last week to get out the vote for both Alme and congressional candidate Aaron Flint. Vice President JD Vance is also expected to hold a rally in Montana next week.

Ilhan Omar hit with expulsion threat as GOP lawmaker vows to boot her from Congress over DOJ probe

Rep Randy Fine questioned Omar’s citizenship after a federal court filing listed her under a different name

EXCLUSIVE:Rep. Randy Fine, R-Fla., told Fox News Digital that he plans to pursue an effort to expel Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., if the Justice Department finds her guilty of immigration fraud.

Fine, a member of the House Freedom Caucus, made the comments after Fox News Digital reported that a federal court filing identified Omar under the name “Ilhan Nur Said Elmi,” also listing “Ilhan Abdullahi Omar” as an alias. The filing has raised questions about Omar’s identity and immigration records but does not establish that she committed fraud.

“I assume that she’s not a citizen, so we might not even have to do that,” Fine said. “You can’t be in Congress if you’re not a citizen of the United States, but if it isn’t automatic, I absolutely will demand expulsion immediately.”

Omar is a naturalized U.S. citizen. She was born in Somalia and became a U.S. citizen in 2000. She has denied wrongdoing and called the investigation politically motivated.

Fine said Democrats would attempt to block any Republican effort to censure or expel Omar.

HOMAN SAYS ILHAN OMAR COULD BE STRIPPED OF NATURALIZATION, DEPORTED IF IMMIGRATION FRAUD IS PROVEN

“I don’t think Democrats think you should have to be American. They don’t believe in borders,” Fine said. “They’ve made that clear. They don’t believe in America.”

The House has the constitutional authority to expel a member, but doing so requires a two-thirds vote. A criminal investigation or allegation alone does not automatically remove a member from Congress.

Fine also criticized Rep. Delia Ramirez, D-Ill., who in September introduced the Reimagining Safety Act, legislation that would dismantle the Department of Homeland Security and abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection, while preserving some of its functions under a new agency, the Department of Community Safety.

“Look at this bill filed by the congresswoman from Chicago, where she doesn’t believe we should have borders, border protection or the ability to deport anyone,” Fine said.

Fine also criticized Democrats who have called the Justice Department’s investigation into Omar politically motivated, pointing to the separate inquiry into her financial disclosures. The investigation into her finances began under former President Joe Biden in 2024, a detail that Fine claimed Democrats have intentionally overlooked.

“Democrats don’t get held accountable for anything, and they agree on this agenda that is anti-American and anti-citizen,” Fine continued.

Omar’s Washington, D.C., residence was searched by Homeland Security Investigations agents on Oct. 12 as part of a federal investigation into possible false statements on immigration and naturalization documents. Federal authorities have also issued grand jury subpoenas to members of Omar’s family and seized her cellphone, according to The Associated Press.

Jackson again publicly breaks with Supreme Court as justices side with GOP in last-minute voter ID fight

2026-10-23T10:11:24-04:00 / Fox News

The ruling allows the state to enforce a law striking student ID cards from accepted ballot identification before midterms

Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson was the lone public dissenter in a Thursday decision allowing New Hampshire to block the use of student ID cards in the upcoming midterm elections.

Other justices on the court cited the longstanding precedent “that lower federal courts should ordinarily not alter the election rules on the eve of an election,” and said that lower courts failed to argue that the specific case in New Hampshire warranted an exception to the tradition. Jackson, however, argued the proximity to an election should not get in the way of properly applying the law.

“I respectfully dissent because — even, and perhaps especially, when an election is looming — I would not disturb a clearly justifiable federal-court order issued to ensure that the public receives accurate information about a State’s electoral processes,” she wrote.

The underlying dispute stems from a law signed in April that went into effect in June, striking student ID cards from the list of forms of identification that election officials can accept when an individual requests a ballot. A voting rights group sued New Hampshire on the grounds that the law illegally discriminated against young voters by making it more difficult for them to vote.

New Hampshire Secretary of State David Scanlan then issued guidance saying that student IDs could not be used to establish voter identity, even as supporting evidence under the state’s alternative verification procedures. A district judge blocked that portion of the guidance, arguing that it went beyond the scope of the law itself, which only removed student IDs from the list of expressly accepted forms of identification.

Among the supporters of the guidance was the Republican National Committee.

While Jackson was the lone public dissenter, it is possible that other justices dissented as well, but opted not to be named on the court order. During her roughly four years on the Supreme Court, Jackson has broken from the rest of her colleagues in areas such as campaign finance, immigration and congressional map litigation.

In 2023, she was the lone dissenter in an 8-1 ruling allowing a concrete company to sue striking union workers. She also stood alone in a May 2026 decision involving federal prisoners seeking to challenge their convictions through compassionate release.

New Hampshire is holding a handful of close races on Election Day, putting some weight behind the court’s decision. Fox News’ power rankings rate the state’s Senate race as leans Democratic, meaning that liberals have a slight advantage in a race that could decide control of Congress. The state’s governor’s race, meanwhile, is rated as likely going to the GOP.

College students typically favor the Democratic Party, though it is unclear how many voters will be affected by the court ruling, as students who previously relied on their student IDs will now need another accepted form of identification.

Some Democrats, however, believe allowing voters to use student IDs would be a good thing. Texas Democratic Senate nominee James Talarico, for instance, has pushed for such a thing in his state.

Jared Kushner pushes back on report involving hacked phone, spies, billion-dollar transfer

October 23, 2026 / 10:31 AM EDT / CBS News

Jared Kushner is pushing back on a report involving a hacked iPhone, international spies and billion-dollar transfers from foreign governments.

An upcoming book by journalist Matthew Cole claims Kushner, who is President Trump’s son-in-law, had access to more than $2 billion in “slush money funds” from Middle Eastern leaders in an attempt to influence U.S. foreign policy.

An excerpt of the book released Thursday details allegations encompassing Kushner’s time as a senior White House adviser during the first Trump administration, which included a lead role in U.S. policy in the Middle East. Kushner had a major hand in negotiating key foreign policy deals that involved Israel, the Gulf states, China and Russia during that period.

Kushner and his legal team released fiery statements Thursday night categorically denying all accusations against him. Kushner said, “The allegations made by this author are completely insane and never happened.” His attorney called them “false and defamatory” and said they intend to pursue legal action against those responsible, but did not specify whom.

The new book, “Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed’s Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East,” alleges Kushner had access to billions of dollars in undisclosed foreign bank accounts intended to pay for “influence within the U.S. government.”

An excerpt from the book that was published in “Vanity Fair,” but not independently verified by CBS News, says Dutch intelligence agents learned the Russians had hacked Kushner’s iPhone in 2017 after flipping a Russian spy and subsequently gained access to Kushner’s phone as well.

According to the report, “when Kushner used the phone, they could see his screen. Almost as soon as they got inside, the intelligence service began capturing every image of Kushner’s screen as he used it.”

At the time, Kushner served as a senior White House adviser to President Trump, including on Middle Eastern diplomacy.

The report alleges Dutch spies witnessed him log into a United Arab Emirates account that had allegedly received hundreds of millions of dollars from a bank in Azerbaijan, and claims the leaders of Saudi Arabia and the UAE put at least $2 billion into multiple bank accounts linked to Kushner, including an account with Israel’s Central Bank.

According to the book excerpt, the owners and managers of the accounts were often disguised as official government entities or charities, but the funds were actually intended for “off-the-books diplomatic objectives” such as striking a deal to end the Israeli-Palesteinian conflict.

The report also claims Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman put roughly $1 billion into at least one account for Kushner, citing a “person with knowledge of the money” saying “its allocation was for Kushner’s personal benefit.”

Kushner forcefully denied the accusations leveled in the “Vanity Fair” excerpt, writing in part, “The allegations made by this author are completely insane and never happened.”

“We denied every claim on the record, yet the author provided not a single shred of verifiable evidence to substantiate them,” he said.

“No bank statements, wire transfer records, account numbers, transaction dates, or other verifiable details were provided to support these extraordinary accusations,” he said.

CBS News reached out to the White House, which referred us to a statement from Steven Cheung, who is assistant to the president and White House director of communications.

Cheung said the “bull**** Vanity Fair article comes from a book that is complete fiction, and was fabricated from the warped mind of failed spy thriller writer.”

“He presents no evidence or even a shred of documentation. Just mysterious words from unnamed sources,” Cheung said on X.

Ex-FBI officials arrested in Hunter Biden laptop probe as testimony comes under scrutiny

October 23, 2026 11:04am EDT / Fox News

Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides were arrested Friday after allegedly downplaying their knowledge of investigations

By Robert Schmad

The Department of Justice charged two former FBI officials with lying to Congress about their involvement in FBI investigations into Hunter Biden, including matters involving his laptop.

Former FBI officials Nikki Cole Floris and Bradley Benavides, according to the DOJ, falsely denied involvement in the investigations into former President Joe Biden’s son when speaking to Congress. Both surrendered Friday on arrest warrants, according to the DOJ.

“Lying to Congress by anyone strikes at the heart of our democratic system, but when senior FBI agents lie to Congress believing they are above the law, it’s time to bring the hammer of justice down on them,” U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro said of the charges.

“When senior officials entrusted with safeguarding our nation’s security choose deception over duty, they undermine the very institutions they swore to uphold. Today’s action makes clear that no one is above the law, and we will hold accountable all who obstruct the truth.”

The Justice Department claims to possess evidence that shows Benavides discussed the laptop story with others in the FBI, contradicting his testimony that he learned about the story from Wikipedia. Similarly, the department says that it has evidence Floris discussed Hunter Biden with members of the FBI’s Foreign Influence Task Force, despite testifying to the contrary.

“Nikki Floris is a patriot. She served our nation as a dedicated FBI intelligence officer for nearly 20 years. Yet today, the DOJ has accused her falsely of a crime on the say-so of politicians, not on the facts. It’s no coincidence the government is filing these nonsense charges now, years later, on the eve of an election,” her attorneys said in a statement.

“This morning the FBI arrested two former FBI members of the now dissolved Foreign Influence Task Force, Nikki Floris and Bradley Benavides, both of whom allegedly lied to Congress in 2023 on matters regarding investigations related to the 2020 election,” FBI Director Kash Patel said of the arrests. “One of these individuals is on record privately claiming to be ‘running a shadow government’ during the 2020 election. As we’ve said repeatedly: weaponization will never be tolerated at this FBI.”

Melania Trump helps secure “temporary ceasefire” between Russia and Ukraine in city of Oleshky

Updated on: October 23, 2026 / 11:33 AM EDT / CBS News

First lady Melania Trump’s office on Friday said she — not President Trump or another top official — has secured a temporary ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine for the Russian-occupied Ukrainian city of Oleshky for humanitarian reasons.

In an unusual announcement for a first lady’s office, it said both nations agreed to temporarily halt all military action in the southern Ukrainian city “to allow for humanitarian aid to enter and to prepare a civilian evacuation through a designated safe passageway.” The localized ceasefire will begin Thursday, Oct. 29.

Russia and Ukraine have not commented on the first lady’s announcement. But Ukrainian officials indicated that there has been a tentative agreement in the Russian-occupied territory in southern Ukraine.

The first lady’s office says she worked “directly with Russian and Ukrainian leadership to define the terms of the localized ceasefire.”

“The situation in Oleshky is dire,” the first lady said in a statement. “Oleshky is a front-line war city on the brink of disaster. Oleshky’s remaining population is comprised primarily of elderly residents who urgently need medical attention, medicine, food, and clean water. The people of Oleshky have limited electricity, live amid mined roads, and endure regular military attacks. It was abundantly clear that without my intervention, the possibility to bring humanitarian aid into the city and to evacuate the elderly would be impossible.”

The first lady’s office said she “initiated discussions with both nations and aligned the parties on the agreement’s objectives, technical procedures, timing, processes, and terms, in her formal role as Exclusive Intermediary.”

“Non-military, civilian leaders from both countries will work together to visit Oleshky residents in their homes and determine the level of assistance they require,” the first lady said. “Residents who wish to evacuate will receive coordinated support and transportation to their preferred destination. I anticipate some will want to go to Russia, and some to Ukraine.”

The first lady added that she’s secured an American media organization to document both Russian and Ukrainian teams. Newsmax, a conservative outlet, said it would be going.

White House communications director Steven Cheung called the announcement “amazing news.”

“This is a major, positive step towards peace,” Cheung said on X. “History will remember her tireless work to help those in need.”

Last week, the Vatican said Pope Leo spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin on the phone and “expressed his deep concern about the grave humanitarian situation in the city of Oleshky.”

Melania Trump has worked to reunite 34 children so far with their families, after Russia forcibly removed children.

Although he said he would bring about an end to Russia’s war with Ukraine on his first day back in office, peace has remained elusive for Mr. Trump. The president has grown increasingly frustrated with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy in recent days, saying Ukraine should have a new leader and dismissing concerns about Russia’s continued slaughter of Ukrainians.

“Russia, frankly, has been fine on Ukraine,” Mr. Trump told reporters earlier this week. “They haven’t been doing much.”

U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff faced backlash for calling Putin a “humanitarian” upon the release of American Stephen Hubbard.

2 ex-FBI officials charged with lying to Congress about Hunter Biden laptop probe

October 23, 2026 / 11:25 AM EDT / CBS News

Washington— Two former senior FBI officials are facing criminal charges for allegedly making false statements to Congress during testimony in 2023 about the bureau’s investigation involving Hunter Biden’s laptop.

Nikki Floris, 46, a former intelligence analyst in charge in the bureau’s Washington Field Office, and Bradley Benavides, 56, the former deputy assistant director at the FBI’s Counterintelligence Division, each appeared in court on Friday in Washington, D.C. where they were presented with a copy of a criminal complaint charging them with one count each of lying to Congress about their roles on the Foreign Influence Task Force during the 2020 election, specifically the FBI’s Hunter Biden investigations.

A statement of facts filed with the complaint alleges that Floris made false statements on July 19, 2023, to Congress, while Benavides made false statements on Sept. 28, 2023. Their alleged false statements pertained to “their awareness of involvement in the FBI’s investigations into Hunter Biden,” it said.

“The evidence further establishes probable cause to believe that Floris and Benavides made these statements for the purpose of concealing [the Foreign Influence Task Force’s] engagement with and communications about the Hunter Biden investigations and impeding the congressional investigation,” it said.

The decision by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in D.C. to charge the pair in a criminal complaint stemming from three-year-old allegations is highly unusual, and both their defense attorneys and the magistrate judge who presided over Friday’s hearing and unsealing raised questions about the decision.

“The alleged conduct happened years ago. The government has had the information about this for years,” said Ron Safer, an attorney for Benavides. He asked Zia Faruqui, the magistrate judge at Friday’s hearing in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, to immediately schedule a preliminary hearing “as soon as humanly possible” to review whether there was adequate probable cause that a crime was committed.

The politically charged case was also unsealed just about two weeks before the midterm election — a fact that may raise questions by DOJ veterans about the timing of a case involving testimony to Congress that occurred more than three years ago.

Faruqui said he thought the manner in which the case was charged seemed “strange” and he rejected a request by prosecutors to delay the preliminary hearing for two weeks or more.

He ordered the parties to return at 11 a.m. on Tuesday.

“This is the Sword of Damocles hanging over their heads,” he said. “This will follow them for the rest of their lives.”

Trumps to vote early in person in Florida on Saturday, White House official says

October 23, 2026 / 10:54 AM EDT / CBS News

President Trump and first lady Melania Trump will vote early in person in Palm Beach County, Florida, on Saturday, a White House official said.

On the campaign trail this week, the president said he prefers to vote on Election Day. But Mr. Trump is registered to vote in Palm Beach County.

In recent elections, Mr. Trump has voted by mail. The president, however, is critical of widespread mail-in voting.

Saturday is the first day of early voting in Florida, which runs from Oct. 24 through Halloween.

Mr. Trump’s Election Day plans are not yet clear. He didn’t answer when reporters asked this week what he’ll be doing that day.

The president is traveling most days to hold rallies for Republicans. He was in South Carolina Wednesday night and in Iowa Thursday night, and will deliver remarks in Fort Meyers, Florida, Friday before heading to Mar-a-Lago.
