News Summary at 2:53 p.m. EST
In a broad news round-up, several major developments were reported. President Donald Trump is replacing chief of staff Susie Wiles with Stephen Miller after midterm elections brought major Republican losses; Wiles was Trump’s longest-serving chief of staff and the first woman to hold the role. Separately, a federal court temporarily blocked Trump from breaking ground for a planned 250-foot memorial arch, the “Military Triumphal Arch,” between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery, though the administration launched a new website promoting the project. The Justice Department also saw resignations: Jason Reding Quiñones in Miami, John Eisenberg, and Harmeet Dhillon. A jobs report showed 165,000 new jobs and a 4.1% unemployment rate. Finally, European officials reported additional bomb threats targeting flights and broadcasters.
