Sometimes the news is plain weird; that’s just a fact.

We’ve been describing how the House Judiciary Committee on Thursday has been exposing the excesses of former Special Counsel Jack Smith, forcing him to spin like a top to explain his quixotic quest to bring down Donald Trump with his endless, multi-million dollar Arctic Frost election interference probe.

The investigation and the subsequent prosecution ended when Trump won the presidency.

But I couldn’t have guessed that some of the officials involved would be so juvenile and craven as to make themselves a trophy for their failed efforts. According to FBI Director Kash Patel, however, that’s exactly what they did:

‘Classic Trump’: Byron York Dissects Strategy President Used To Get Greenland Deal

Fox News contributor Byron York on Wednesday broke down what he described as a familiar Trump negotiating playbook, saying the president deliberately opened with an outsized demand about Greenland to seize leverage and shape the entire conversation.

Trump has insisted the United States must take control of Greenland for national security reasons and has threatened sweeping tariffs on European countries to pressure them into surrendering full authority over the island. During a panel discussion on “Special Report with Bret Baier,” York laid out what he described as a textbook example of President Donald Trump’s negotiating style.

“This was kind of classic Trump, wasn’t it? Trump wants something, and then he asks for 10 times that. The other side flips out, and they go back and forth and go back and forth. It becomes a huge news story,” York told host Bret Baier. 

York said that the endgame was predictable, with the other side eventually offering a deal close to what Trump sought at the outset.

“Finally, they make an offer. He agrees to it, and it’s kind of what they could have gotten in the first place,” York said.

The House Oversight Committee passed bipartisan resolutions Wednesday to hold the Clintons in contempt over subpoena noncompliance in the Jeffrey Epstein probe. 

Members of both parties voted to hold the former president Bill Clinton and former secretary of state Hillary Clinton accountable for willfully defying lawful, bipartisan subpoenas. (RELATED: Editor Daily Rundown: Clintons Duck Epstein Testimony Despite Contempt Threat)

THE WASHINGTON TIMES

Trump’s Davos challenge

President wants the world's elite to show a little gratitude

President Donald Trump speaks during the 56th annual meeting of the World Economic Forum, WEF, in Davos, Switzerland, Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026. (Gian Ehrenzeller/Keystone via AP) more >

By Editorial Board - The Washington Times - Thursday, January 22, 2026

OPINION:

A larger-than-life president showed up at the World Economic Forum on Wednesday. Donald Trump had one demand for the World Economic Forum at Davos: Show some gratitude. The planet’s most self-important people are not accustomed to being bossed around.

“The United States is keeping the whole world afloat,” said Mr. Trump, speaking mostly off the cuff as he does at campaign rallies.

The U.S. commander in chief rattled off examples of the world mooching off American success. For instance, we helped liberate Europe from the Nazis and Imperial Japan. We subsidize the defense of the West. We bankroll the development of lifesaving drugs. For that, we get nothing in return.

How about we get Greenland as a small token of Europe’s appreciation?

You know the White House is serious about this territorial acquisition because Scott Bessent served as the president’s advance man. The Treasury secretary spent Tuesday shooting down nonsensical narratives about Mr. Trump’s pursuit to invade Greenland in peevish retribution for being snubbed by the Norwegian Nobel Committee.

For some strange reason, Denmark owns Greenland. Neighboring Norway is also responsible for selecting Nobel Committee members, and those members awarded the Peace Prize to someone who doesn’t live at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. Democrats attempted to link these unrelated issues into an attack on the Republican president, which they can do because they are historically illiterate.

Democrats were the first to covet Greenland, beginning with Andrew Johnson’s exploration of the idea in 1868. Franklin D. Roosevelt’s secretary of state once wrote, “Greenland is within the area embraced by the Monroe Doctrine … and its defense against attack by a non-American power is plainly essential to the preservation of the peace and security of the American continent.”

Mr. Bessent cited the Tuesday vote in the British House of Commons that handed over control of the Chagos Islands to the tiny island nation of Mauritius, which is in Beijing’s pocket, as an example of the peril. Those islands are home to Diego Garcia, a critical refueling and repair stop for U.S. ships and planes transiting the Indian Ocean. If you can’t trust Europeans to safeguard a tiny group of islands, then you can’t trust them to protect a big one, such as Greenland.

Plutocrats go to Switzerland for the five-star accommodations and legendary Davos after-parties, not to be told their foreign policies are reckless. They don’t appreciate when their worldview is threatened. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is among those displeased at being asked to contribute more to his nation’s security.

“We knew that the story about the rules-based order was partially false. … You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your subordination,” he groused.

In the past, Davos was dominated by tedious lectures about “climate justice.” Not anymore. Since Mr. Trump closed the spigot of American funding for green projects, artificial intelligence has emerged as the topic of the day. The jet set also realizes AI’s thirst for electricity won’t be satisfied by windmills and solar panels.

Mr. Trump mocked the countries still clinging to clean energy delusions. “China is very smart. They make [windmills]. They sell them for a fortune. They sell them to the stupid people that buy them, but they don’t use them themselves. They put up a couple of big wind farms, but they don’t use them,” he said.

It’s up to Europeans to heed these words and stop being stupid.

NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte said on Jan. 21 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, that U.S. President Donald Trump was right about security in the Arctic.

“When it comes to the Arctic, I think President Trump is right. Other leaders in NATO are right. We need to defend the Arctic,” the former Dutch prime minister said. “We know that the sea lanes are opening up.”

Rutte said that China and Russia were becoming increasingly active in the Arctic Circle, and acknowledged that this posed a problem for the alliance.

“There are eight countries bordering on the Arctic. Seven are members of NATO. That’s Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Iceland, Canada, and the U.S.,” Rutte said.

House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) said on Jan. 21 that he would support articles of impeachment against some federal judges after congressional Republicans floated the prospect last year.

During a press conference, a reporter asked Johnson about Senate Republicans suggesting that the House bring articles of impeachment against judges. Multiple Republicans have signaled they want to impeach two U.S. district judges, James Boasberg and Deborah Boardman.

“I’m for it,” Johnson said during the Wednesday news conference alongside other Republican House members. “Judge Boasberg is one who’s been mentioned.”

Rep. Comer to Newsmax: DOJ Will Act If Clintons Held in Contempt

VIDEO

By Michael Katz | Wednesday, 21 January 2026 09:19 PM EST


Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., told Newsmax on Wednesday that he is confident the Department of Justice will prosecute former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton if the full House votes to hold them in contempt of Congress for ignoring subpoenas related to the committee’s investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.

Comer, chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, told "Finnerty" that the committee’s bipartisan vote earlier in the day marked a major step forward in holding the Clintons accountable after months of refusing to testify.

"So, the committee voted overwhelmingly in a bipartisan fashion to hold both Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton in contempt," Comer said.

The committee voted to advance contempt resolutions after the Clintons declined to comply with subpoenas seeking testimony about their ties to Epstein, the late convicted sex offender, and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Comer noted that nine Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the contempt vote.

U.S. House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Jan. 20 told the UK Parliament in London that the United States is focused on countering security threats from China and Russia, especially in strategic areas such as the Arctic.

Johnson delivered his remarks during a visit to England’s capital to mark the 250th anniversary of U.S. independence, becoming the first U.S. House speaker to address Parliament.

His visit to London came amid growing geopolitical tensions over the U.S. bid to acquire Greenland for national security reasons.

In his address, Johnson said he spoke to U.S. President Donald Trump at length the day before and told the president that his mission in the UK was to help “calm the waters.”

There You Go: Oversight Committee Votes on Holding Clintons in Contempt - They Won't Like the Result

The House Oversight Committee isn't playing around when it comes to the question of holding former President Bill Clinton and former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress for failing to show up to be questioned in the Jeffrey Epstein matter.

They didn't show up for their depositions and released a letter that was pretty hilarious, acting like they were fighting the evil Trump administration by doing so, as opposed to refusing to sit down and be grilled about what they know.

Their attorneys said they would try to fight the subpoenas.

Then came the word from the House Oversight Chair James Comer that Bill Clinton was trying to strike a bargain

Comer said in a statement that the Clintons’ attorneys made an offer to have former President Clinton testify before only Comer and ranking member Robert Garcia (D-Calif.) in New York — with just two staff members each, no other committee members, and no official transcript.

Comer rejected that deal.

If they know nothing, why not come before the Committee and say that? Why would they not want the full Committee, and why would they not want a transcript? Are there questions they don't want to answer, and do they not want their answers recorded for posterity so they can't be nailed on them?

Contemptible Clintons: Comer Rejects Latest Ridiculous Offer, Vows to Bring Tight-Lipped Duo to Account


But now the House is one step further along to holding them in contempt.

A House committee voted on a bipartisan basis Wednesday to hold Bill and Hillary Clinton in contempt of Congress.

The House Oversight Committee voted for the former president to face a potential criminal misdemeanor for refusing to comply with a subpoena to testify about his relationship with deceased sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was 34-8.

Another vote for his wife, the former first lady and secretary of state, failing to testify was 28-15.

The vote to issue the subpoenas to begin with had also been bipartisan. Neither of them showed up for their last scheduled depositions in January, after months of back-and-forth delay.

That's a big thing that Democrats went along with the Committee vote. You even had the ranking member, Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia (CA-42), agree that the subpoenas were lawful.

As much of Europe pushes back against President Donald Trump’s bid to acquire Greenland, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte is taking a markedly different stance, telling Europe that it should “be happy” Trump is in charge.

Speaking Wednesday at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Rutte credited Trump with forcing major European powers — including France, Italy, and Spain — to finally step up their defense commitments. Without Trump’s pressure, Rutte said, these countries would never have agreed to spend 2% of their gross domestic product on defense.

“I’m not popular with you now because I’m defending Donald Trump, but I really believe you can be happy that he is there because he has forced us in Europe to step up, to face the consequences that we have to take care of more of our own defense,” Rutte said at a panel discussion titled “Can Europe defend itself?” at the World Economic Forum, according to Politico.
