South Korea's impeached President Yoon Suk Yeol faced renewed questioning Thursday, a day after his dramatic arrest over a failed martial law declaration, but his lawyers said he would not take part.

President-elect Donald Trump proudly announced in a post to his Truth Social platform on Wednesday evening that he has already hired 1,000 people for his incoming administration.

The Israel-Hamas deal was made possible by 18-hour days and a "remarkable" partnership between Joe Biden and Donald Trump's Mideast envoys -- but even then it seemed it might come apart at the last minute.

President Joe Biden issued a dire warning to the American people about the coming four years under the next Donald Trump administration, in his farewell address on Wednesday — even as he tried to strike the most optimistic tone he could that America would remain strong after he left.

"So the way I describe it is, look, I came up in the 90s, you know ... it was just sort of assumed that if you were in Silicon Valley and high tech in the 90s, it was just assumed, Clinton-Gore heyday. It was just assumed, what I now call 'The Deal,' with a capital D, and no one ever said it out loud, but it was just assumed," said Andreessen.
