Republican Congressman Jeff Van Drew of New Jersey, a member of the House Transportation Committee's aviation subcommittee, claims that high-level confidential sources confirmed an Iranian mothership is stationed off the U.S. East Coast. Van Drew asserts this vessel launched SUV-sized drones that have been sighted over sensitive areas in New Jersey, including near the home of the incoming president. He urges the military to shoot down the aircraft, dismissing the possibility that they are merely hobbyist equipment.

Attorney General Merrick Garland faced intense questioning from Representative Jeff Van Drew regarding a leaked FBI memo from the Richmond field office. The memo suggested that "radical traditionalist Catholic ideology" could be a gateway to violent extremism. Garland stated he was "appalled" by the memo but struggled to answer whether any officials were fired for its creation.
