President Donald Trump told reporters on Friday that he didn’t like former President Bill Clinton being deposed amid an investigation into the Jeffrey Epstein files.

“I don’t like seeing him deposed ... they certainly went after me a lot more than that ... I like him, and I don’t like seeing him deposed,” Trump told reporters before departing the White House.

Clinton told members of Congress on Friday that he “did nothing wrong” in his relationship with Epstein and saw no signs of Epstein’s sexual abuse.

The former president faced hours of grilling from lawmakers over his connections to the disgraced financier from more than two decades ago.

“I saw nothing, and I did nothing wrong,” Clinton is quoted as saying in an opening statement.

The closed-door deposition was the first time a former president had been compelled to testify to Congress.

Clinton’s wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, also sat with lawmakers for her own deposition just a day prior.

Bill Clinton has also not been accused of any wrongdoing.

“No one’s accusing anyone of any wrongdoing, but I think the American people have a lot of questions,” Republican Rep. James Comer said.

Los Angeles

Music legend Neil Sedaka has died at the age of 86.

Loved ones confirmed the Grammy-nominated musician’s death on Friday.

“Our family is devastated by the sudden passing of our beloved husband, father and grandfather, Neil Sedaka,” Variety shared from a family statement. “A true rock n’ roll legend, an inspiration to millions, but most importantly, at least to those of us who were lucky enough to know him, an incredible human being who will be deeply missed.”

Sedaka was known for hits such as “Breaking Up Is Hard to Do” and “Laughter in the Rain.”

The Brooklyn native scored several No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 during his peak years in the 1960s and ’70s.

Sedaka also wrote many songs that were hits for other artists and was nominated for five Grammy awards over the course of his six-decade career.

TMZ reported earlier on Friday that Sedaka was not feeling well and was taken to an area hospital on Friday morning before his death.

Sedaka is survived by his wife and the couple’s two children

Chicago

Chicago authorities say a woman has been charged after carjacking a food delivery driver who was fatally hit by his own vehicle.

The Chicago Police Department said Montoya Perry, 33, was arrested earlier this week on charges of murder and vehicular hijacking.

Perry is accused of taking 28-year-old Daniel Figueroa’s vehicle in the 5500 block of West Flournoy Street at about 2 a.m. on Monday.

Authorities said Figueroa was struck by his own vehicle as the offender, identified as Perry, took off from the scene in his car.

The Uber Eats driver was taken to an area hospital, but he did not survive his injuries.

WLS reports that Figueroa’s girlfriend, Sandra Guerrero, had last seen him on Sunday night. The 28-year-old had just gotten off work from Amazon and was said to work extra hours for Uber Eats.

“I didn’t get any texts or call from him until his mom reached out to me at seven in the morning, saying, you know, he had passed away,” Guerrero said. “Today, it’s my son’s birthday. We had the whole day planned out ... I can’t believe it right now.”

Guerrero shared that Figueroa was a dedicated family man who treated her son like his own, working multiple jobs to help support their family.

Perry repeatedly has prior convictions and was out on pre-trial release for another incident that happened two weeks prior.

The 33-year-old remains jailed waiting for her next court appearance scheduled for March 18.

Washington

The White House says Erika Kirk will be attending Tuesday’s State of the Union address as President Donald Trump’s guest.

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said the widow of Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk will be on Trump’s special guest list.

“The president will call on Congress to ‘firmly reject political violence against our fellow citizens’ with Charlie Kirk’s widow in the chamber,” Leavitt said.

Trump spoke at Charlie Kirk’s Arizona memorial service, where Erika Kirk and others remembered the conservative activist who was assassinated last year while speaking at a Utah university.

Trump is expected to address immigration crackdowns, his push to preserve widespread tariffs and his ability to direct military actions around the world in his address to the nation on Tuesday.

Leavitt said the president will also address the cost-of-living concerns many Americans continue to face, while also looking ahead as America celebrates 250 years of its independence.

Trump’s speech is scheduled to start at 9 p.m. EST.

Elkton, Md.

A trooper in Maryland is being credited with saving the life of a choking infant after a routine traffic stop quickly turned into an emergency.

According to Maryland State Police, Trooper Nicholas Warren is the law enforcement officer who helped to save the child on Valentine’s Day in Cecil County.

Warren, a seven-year veteran of the department, was conducting a traffic stop when another vehicle pulled up alongside and called out for assistance: “We need help. My baby is choking.”

Warren jumped into action by removing the infant from the vehicle to perform life-saving first aid.

The state trooper administered back blows for a few moments and removed the blockage. The baby then began to breathe again.

Emergency medical services personnel responded shortly after to evaluate the infant.

Authorities said Warren helped prevent what could have been a tragic outcome.
