Sen. John Curtis (R-UT) asked the Senate Judiciary Committee to investigate and potentially subpoena Donald Trump Jr. over payments from Russian oligarch Umar Kremlev toward his Bahamas wedding; Trump has said his son repaid him for the expenses.

DoorDash reached a record $131.5 million settlement with New York City over underpaying roughly 260,000 delivery workers, following a probe led by the city's Department of Consumer and Worker Protection under Mayor Mamdani's administration.
