The Justice Department announced Tuesday that it arrested five people who were planning to carry out an attack at last weekend's UFC Freedom 250 event at the White House.

The individuals plotted to kill government officials and others attending the event, according to the DOJ. Arrests were made across multiple states.

According to an arrest document, one of the individuals is a 19-year-old from Ohio who said he had been planning an attack with a group of political extremists.

Justice Department officials appointed by President Donald Trump have made sweeping changes there since he returned to office.

Those officials have redefined the focus of key divisions and challenged legal norms. Meanwhile, thousands of career lawyers have resigned or been fired.

Justice Correspondent Ali Rogin asked several former DOJ attorneys and leaders to reflect on what they believe it means for the institution's future.

In its latest court filings defending the White House ballroom... the Justice Dept is now characterizing the alleged plot against UFC event as an "assassination plot" against Trump

That was not alleged in the charging documents against the defendants in plot

For nearly three years, children in Gaza have grown up surrounded by war, displacement and loss.

Thousands of children have been killed in Israeli strikes that followed the Hamas assault on Oct. 7, 2023. Even since the ceasefire reached last October between Israel and Hamas, Israeli attacks have killed at least 229 children.

Still, the children of Gaza yearned for the chance to keep learning. Now classes are held in tents, damaged buildings and overcrowded shelters.

@AliRogin takes a look at this youngest generation.

For nearly three years, children in Gaza have grown up surrounded by war, displacement and loss. Thousands of children have been killed in Israeli strikes that followed the brutal Hamas assault on Israel on October 7, 2023. Even since the ceasefire struck last October between Israel and Hamas, Israeli attacks have killed some 229 children.

And still, the children of Gaza yearn for the normalcy of school and the chance to keep learning. Now, school is held in tents, damaged buildings and overcrowded shelters.

From the Oversight Committee Epstein panel's intv w/ former AG Bondi:

Q Our understanding is that none of those files were classified in the legal sense of the word. Do you recall why the word "declassified" was stamped on top?

A I don't recall whether they were or weren't.

,@RepGraceMeng asks Blanche if he will commit to putting the end of the anti-weaponization fund in writing: "I’m not committing to putting anything in writing... why do I need to put something in writing if I’m telling you what I’m doing?"

Blanche on #Epstein files: "if we learn of a bad guy that we can prosecute today, we will prosecute them today." Survivors have repeatedly urged the DOJ to follow up on investigative leads in the documents.

There were conflicting signals from the U.S. and Iran over the status of negotiations to extend the ceasefire and begin talks on ending the war.

Meantime, the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah has been all but shattered as Israel pressed deep into Lebanon.

There's real concern about the growing prevalence of the use of artificial intelligence and other technologies in higher education. But some schools have found benefits as well.

In the case of nursing programs, more and more are integrating immersive technologies like generative AI and virtual reality into their curricula.

@AliRogin spotlights one of those for our series, Rethinking College.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. galvanized his supporters to vote for Donald Trump when he left the presidential race. Trump promised to let Kennedy “go wild” on health care policy, but as fans of Kennedy's Make America Healthy Again movement have learned, that promise has limits. Now, some MAHA voters are feeling disillusioned.

Former Attorney General Pam Bondi defended the Department of Justice’s handling of the Jeffrey Epstein investigation on Friday during a closed-door interview with lawmakers.

Over the span of nearly four hours of questioning from members of the House Oversight Committee, Bondi said the department under her leadership was committed to securing justice for Epstein's victims. She declined to answer questions about President Trump.

Bondi also acknowledged mistakes in the release of investigative records, saying, “There were redaction errors. But since day one of this process, this Department has been committed to accountability and transparency.”

Some survivors of Epstein’s abuse waited outside the interview room and called for Bondi to take accountability.

When asked what sort of government the United States had, Benjamin Franklin famously said, "A republic, if you can keep it."

Like many, columnist Sophia Nelson has been wondering how well we have kept it. Her new book, "Redefining Freedom," seeks to answer that question and provide recommendations for how we can adapt America's founding principles.

Watch Ali Rogin's (@AliRogin) interview with Nelson.

When he left the presidential race, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. galvanized his supporters to vote for Donald Trump, which helped propel Trump back to the White House.

The president promised to let Kennedy “go wild” on health care policy. But as fans of Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again," or MAHA, movement have learned, that promise has limits. And now some MAHA voters are feeling disillusioned.

@AliRogin recently spoke to some of them.
