TYLER— The New Summerfield Police Department (NSPD) responded to a high-speed chase on Tuesday morning in Cherokee County that left a Pennsylvania man injured.
According to reports by KETK, the high speed chase occurred at around 7 a.m. on Highway 79 west of Highway 110 in the direction of Jacksonville. Chief Fred Butler attempted to initiate a traffic stop after noticing an SUV going well over the speed limit. The driver has been identified as a man from Pittsburgh, Pa.. police said.
The driver fled from Butler at a dangerous speed before he crashed his vehicle in route to Jacksonville. The suspect was taken to a local hospital for their injuries and once released, the suspect will be booked into the Cherokee County Jail.
Jimmy Kimmel delivered an emotional monologue during the Jan. 13 episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live! about the "nightmare" situation of the Southern California fires.
"As you know, it has been a very scary, very stressful, very strange week here in LA, where we work, where we live, where our kids go to school," Kimmel said, getting choked up. "We are back at our studio, which we had to evacuate on Wednesday."
Video footage then showed a fire close to the El Capitan Theatre on Hollywood Boulevard, where the talk show is filmed.
"Many of us had to leave our homes in a hurry. Some of our co-workers lost their homes," Kimmel said. "It's been terrible. It's been terrible. Everyone who lives in the city knows someone, most of us multiple people — families, friends, colleagues, neighbors — whose houses burned down. And the truth is, we don't even know if it's over."
Kimmel continued, "I think I speak for all of us when I say it has been a sickening, shocking, awful experience. But it has also been, in a lot of ways, a beautiful experience, because once again, we see our fellow men and women coming together to support each other. People who lost their own homes were out volunteering in parking lots helping others who lost theirs."
The host then went on to thank all of the LA firefighters who were "the first on the scene."
"Without hesitation, they were out there putting out the fires as best they could," he said, also shouting out firefighters from other states — and countries — for lending a helping hand in the face of the tragedy.
"To our police, our National Guard, our rescue workers, the doctors, the nurses, EMTs, the pilots working 12-hour shifts, thank God for all of you," Kimmel added. "I also want to thank our local news reporters who reminded us how important local television and radio and newspapers are."
Kimmel was also critical of some remarks President-elect Donald Trump has made in the wake of the fires, saying he had spread "vile and irresponsible and stupid things ... during our darkest and most terrifying hour."
The Southern California fires began on Jan. 7 and have ravaged thousands of acres throughout the Los Angeles area.
At least 24 people have died, more than a dozen others remain unaccounted for and tens of thousands of people have been forced to evacuate amid multiple wildfires, which have been fueled by severe drought conditions and strong winds.
(WASHINGTON) -- North Carolina Rep. Virginia Foxx, 81, was tapped by House Speaker Mike Johnson to serve as the chairwoman of the powerful House Rules Committee, two GOP sources told ABC News, becoming the only woman to lead a House committee in the 119th Congress.
The House GOP conference voted to approve Foxx's selection during a closed-door meeting on Tuesday.
"For two decades, Dr. Foxx has been a stalwart in the House and a leader in multiple policy areas," Johnson said in a statement. "Her drive and personality have established her as among the most universally respected members of our Republican Conference. Dr. Foxx is an example of how Members should serve, and our Conference will benefit greatly with her at the helm of the influential Rules Committee."
The Rules Committee is the last stop for big-ticket legislation before it can hit the House floor for a vote. Several Republicans urged Johnson to appoint Texas Rep. Chip Roy, who often bucks leadership, to lead the committee to ensure he'd win the gavel. Meanwhile, Foxx is a staunch supporter of Johnson and getting his priorities passed through the House.
"I feel very humbled," Foxx told ABC News. "It's going to be a tough session, but I'm committed to helping make it work."
"From securing our southern border, to unleashing American energy, to fighting to lower Bidenflation, and making our communities safe again, our Committee Chairs are ready to get to work fulfilling the American people's mandate and enacting President Trump's America-First agenda," House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said in announcing the list of chairs, who were selected by the House Republican Steering Committee. "House Republicans are heading into the 119th Congress prepared to address the issues most important to hardworking Americans and fight for meaningful legislative wins.
"I look forward to working with these strong leaders and their Committees to advance President Trump's priorities and deliver the American people the government they voted for in November," he added.
Three Republican women led House committees in the 118th Congress: Texas Rep. Kay Granger chaired the Appropriations Committee, Washington Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers chaired the Energy and Commerce Committee and Foxx chaired the Education and the Workforce Committee.
Neither Granger nor McMorris Rodgers ran for reelection in 2024, though Foxx did earn an 11th term in office. Foxx, 81, had been granted a waiver to lead the Education and the Workforce Committee in the 118th Congress beyond the six-year term limits the House GOP imposes, and she did not request an additional waiver. She had served as chairwoman in the 115th Congress, as well as ranking member in the 116th and the 117th. Michigan Rep. Tim Walberg will take over the chairmanship of the Education and the Workforce Committee instead.
"Chairmen of committees are very important positions, but we really do engage all the membership," House Speaker Mike Johnson said earlier this week ahead of the selections. "We have extraordinary women serving in Congress and in the Republican Conference. In fact, we elected some really strong women in the upcoming freshmen class.
"We value those voices. And everybody has an equal say at the table," he noted. "These are thoughtful elections. We have an embarrassment of riches, frankly."
Florida Rep. Brian Mast, a close Trump ally, will lead the House Foreign Affairs Committee. Ohio Rep. Jim Jordan will continue to lead the Judiciary Committee, Kentucky Rep. James Comer will continue to lead the Oversight Committee and Missouri Rep. Jason Smith will continue to lead the powerful Ways and Means Committee.
"Very fitting in the MAGA Era - No Women Need Apply," former Virginia Rep. Barbara Comstock, a Republican, posted ahead of the final selections in December when no women had been selected.
The Republican Party will have a trifecta after Trump's inauguration with control of the House, Senate, and White House, but the razor-thin majority of 220 Republicans to 215 Democrats in the House will leave little room for dissent, especially with two members of the House GOP set to be nominated for posts in the Trump administration and the resignation of Florida Rep. Matt Gaetz.
"After four years of suffering under the radical policies of the Biden-Harris Administration and a Democrat-controlled Senate, the American people made clear they are ready for a change," Scalise added. "With Republicans taking control of the White House, Senate, and House, it is imperative we are in position to move President Trump's agenda efficiently and thoughtfully so we can quickly restore our nation to greatness."

(WASHINGTON) -- House Speaker Mike Johnson said he is going to order that the flags at the Capitol, which are at half-staff due to the death of former President Jimmy Carter, be raised for President-elect Donald Trump's inauguration -- defying a White House proclamation.
Leaving a GOP press conference Tuesday morning, Johnson nodded his head when asked if he would be raising the flags next week. He later confirmed his decision in a post on X.
"On January 20th, the flags at the Capitol will fly at full-staff to celebrate our country coming together behind the inauguration of our 47th President, Donald Trump. The flags will be lowered back to half-staff the following day to continue honoring President Jimmy Carter," Johnson posted.
"We are less than a week away now from President Donald J. Trump taking the oath of office, and everyone is excited about that inauguration ceremony and all the events that go along with it," Johnson said during his weekly presser. "There's a lot going on, and we are continuing to work. Already, as you've heard, Congress has gotten a head start on implementing the 'America First' agenda."
The U.S. Code, written by Congress, says that the American flag "shall be flown" at half-staff for 30 days upon the death of a president or former president.
Trump has publicly fumed about the flags possibly not being raised.
"Because of the death of President Jimmy Carter, the Flag may, for the first time ever during an Inauguration of a future President, be at half-mast. Nobody wants to see this, and no American can be happy about it. Let's see how it plays out," Trump posted on his social media platform Truth Social earlier this month.
However, this would not be the first time the flags have flown at half-staff during a presidential inauguration. Former President Richard Nixon's 1973 inauguration occurred within the 30-day mourning period that followed the death of President Harry Truman, leading the flags to be flown at half-staff.
Earlier this month, White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the White House would not be reevaluating the decision to keep the flags at half-staff during the inauguration. ABC News reached out to the White House for comment following Johnson's statement.
Republican governors, including Texas Gov. Greg Abbott and Alabama Gov. Kay Ivey, have already announced that the flags in their states will be raised on Inauguration Day.
(NEW YORK) -- Rudy Giuliani's New York Yankees World Series rings must be stored in a closet in his son's apartment until a judge decides whether the former New York mayor must relinquish them as part of a defamation judgment he owes to two Georgia election workers, the judge ordered Tuesday.
"The point was to ensure the security of the rings," Judge Lewis Liman said during the final hearing before trial begins Thursday.
The trial will determine whether Giuliani, 80, must turn over three World Series rings and his Florida condominium to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss, who won a $148 million defamation award against him.
The former mayor's son, Andrew, has possession of the rings and agreed to keep them "secreted in a bedroom closet" pending the outcome. Giuliani has asserted the Florida condo is his permanent residence and exempt from the judgment.
Giuliani, once Donald Trump's personal lawyer, has already given up a New York City apartment, a 1980 Mercedes once owned by actress Lauren Bacall and several luxury watches. He has been disbarred and held in contempt in New York and in Washington.
Freeman and Moss sued Giuliani in 2021 after he repeatedly made false claims they corrupted the 2020 Georgia vote.
On Tuesday, Giuliani's attorney sought unsuccessfully to call as witnesses Giuliani's spokesman, Ted Goodman, and Monsignor Alan Placa, a retired priest. Both men have "intimate knowledge of his intent and the homestead," Giuliani's attorney said.
Placa "answers to a higher power than this court," defense attorney Joseph Cammarata added.
"What do you mean?" Judge Liman interjected.
"He answers to God, your honor," Cammarata responded.
Liman denied the defense request to reconsider allowing the priest to testify.
Giuliani himself is the primary witness at trial and is expected to testify first.
DALLAS (AP) – Southwest Airlines is hitting the pause button on some of its hirings, internships and employee events this year as the company looks to lower costs.
“We are limiting discretionary costs, including holding on the Southwest Rallies for this year, as we focus on reducing costs,” the company said in a prepared statement on Tuesday. “We’re also pausing on most summer internship positions (honoring offers already made) and pausing all noncontract internal and external hiring.”
Southwest said that it will continue to evaluate its hiring needs on an ongoing basis to determine when it makes the most sense to restart hiring.
Back in September Southwest announced that it would revamp its board and that its chairman would retire in 2025, in a partial concession to hedge fund Elliott Investment Management, which has been pushing for changes at the airline.
Elliott, the fund led by billionaire investor Paul Singer, has built a minority stake in Southwest and advocated for changes it says will improve the company’s financial performance and stock price.
The two sides reached a settlement in October. At the time, Southwest said that Chairman Gary Kelly and six board members would depart on Nov. 1 and be replaced by five Elliott-backed candidates and a former Chevron executive.
Southwest was a profit machine for its first 50 years — it never suffered a full-year loss until the pandemic crushed air travel in 2020. Since then, the company has been more profitable than American Airlines but far less so than Delta Air Lines and United Airlines.
Southwest was a scrappy upstart for much of its history. It operated out of less-crowded secondary airports where it could turn around arriving planes and take off quickly with a new set of passengers. It appealed to budget-conscious travelers by offering low fares and no fees for changing a reservation or checking up to two bags.
But Southwest now flies to many of the same big airports as its rivals. With the rise of “ultra-low-cost carriers,” it often gets undercut on price.
As part of its efforts to turnaround the business, Southwest has announced plans to increase revenue by converting nearly one-third of its seats to premium ones with extra legroom. It will also begin assigning seats — ending the longtime practice of letting passengers pick their own seats after boarding the plane. And it is pursuing partnerships with international airlines, starting with Icelandair, to offer destinations beyond North America and Central America.
In November the Dallas-based airline offered buyouts and extended leaves of absence to airport workers to avoid what it called “overstaffing in certain locations,” which it blamed on a shortage of new planes from Boeing.
Shares of Southwest rose slightly in morning trading.
Gov. Greg Abbott threatened Texas A&M University President Mark Welsh III’s job over claims the university broke the state’s ban on diversity, equity and inclusion programs.
The threat came after conservative activist Christopher Rufo shared a university email inviting some staffers and PhD students to attend a conference that limited participation to people who are Black, Hispanic or Native American.
On Monday, someone asked Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton on social media whether they were going to tolerate the behavior.
“Hell, no,” Abbott replied hours later on X, formerly known as Twitter. “It’s against Texas law and violates the U.S. Constitution. It will be fixed immediately or the president will soon be gone.”
The A&M email said the university’s general counsel had confirmed that the conference complied with the state’s DEI ban.
Senate Bill 17, which took effect last year, prohibits public universities not only from having DEI offices, but from compelling any person to provide a DEI statement or undergo DEI training and giving preferential treatment on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.
On Tuesday, Welsh released a statement that the university “will continue to honor both the letter and intent of the law.”
“Texas A&M does not support any organization, conference, process or activity that excludes people based on race, creed, gender, age or any other discriminating factor,” the statement said. “The intent of SB-17 is very clear in that regard.”

ATHENS — Trinity Valley Community College (TVCC) and Abilene Christian University (ACU) announced a partnership to provide TVCC students with a pathway to continue their education at ACU.
TVCC students can now transfer completed coursework to ACU without losing credit, creating a simple transfer process for achieving educational goals as both undergraduate and graduate students.
“This partnership highlights the vital role community colleges play in higher education and demonstrates the power of collaboration between distinguished institutions,” TVCC President, Dr. Jason Morrison said. “TVCC is thrilled to partner with ACU to create more opportunities for our students to succeed. This agreement underscores our shared commitment to helping students achieve their goals and prepare for the future.”
According to reports from our news partner, KETK, TVCC currently has partnerships with 14 different universities to help students including the University of Texas at Tyler, the University of North Texas(UNT), Lamar University, Columbia College, and Texas Tech University.
TVCC commented, saying the ACU partnership reflects their mission to foster educational excellence and provide students with the resources needed to succeed.
MABANK– A family of nine was displaced on Saturday after a fire burned their home near the Cedar Creek Country Club in Mabank.
Ashley and Brooks Zabojnik along with their seven children have lived in their Mabank home since 2021, but in just one afternoon their house was reduced to rubble. “Lost a lot of sentimental things that can’t be replaced,” Brooks said. “But I know we were the most important thing and nobody was hurt or injured, but lost everything.”
Payne Springs Fire Rescue said they were called out to assist the Mabank Fire Department with a fire burning multiple structures and vehicles on Saturday afternoon. When firefighters arrived on scene they found the home, a carport, a detached garage and two vehicles on fire. Continue reading East Texas house fire displaces family of nine
(NEW YORK) -- Steve Bannon must appear in court next week to explain why he switched lawyers so close to trial, a judge in New York ordered.
Bannon, once a senior adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, is scheduled to stand trial Feb. 25 on charges he defrauded donors of "We Build the Wall," an online fundraising campaign to support a wall along the U.S. southern border.
Bannon hired Arthur Aidala after his prior attorneys moved to withdraw from the case and Judge April Newbauer said she wanted to "make an inquiry of the defendant" before she decided whether to allow it.
Aidala asked the judge to delay the trial's start to give him time to read up on the case, insisting Bannon was "not looking to intentionally delay anything."
The Manhattan district attorney's office saw it differently, arguing Bannon was "trying to make a substitution of counsel for the purpose of delay."
Bannon's money laundering and conspiracy case was originally scheduled for trial in 2023 but has been repeatedly delayed.
When trial does begin, prosecutors said they would ask for an anonymous jury.
A six-count indictment in 2022 charged Bannon and "We Build the Wall" itself with two counts of money laundering, which carries a maximum sentence of five to 15 years in prison. There are additional felony counts of conspiracy and scheme to defraud along with one misdemeanor count of conspiracy to defraud.
(NEW YORK) -- President-elect Donald Trump is asking a federal appeals court to reconsider overturning a jury's verdict that found he sexually abused writer E. Jean Carroll in the mid-1990s and awarded her $5 million in damages.
After the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit determined last month that Trump failed to prove he deserved a new trial, lawyers for Trump on Tuesday requested an en banc hearing, in which the full court would hear the case rather than a select panel.
A New York jury in 2023 awarding Carroll $5 million in damages after it found Trump liable for sexually abusing her in the dressing room of a Bergdorf Goodman department store in Manhattan in the mid-1990s, and for defaming her in 2022 when he denied the allegations.
Last year, another jury ordered Trump to pay an additional $83 million in damages for his defamatory statements about Carroll.
Trump argued the trial court in 2023 erred when it allowed two women to testify about Trump allegedly assaulting them, as well as permitting Carroll's lawyers to show the jury part of the now-infamous "Access Hollywood" tape in which Trump boasted about grabbing women.
"To have any chance of persuading a jury, Carroll's implausible, unsubstantiated allegations had to be -- and repeatedly were -- propped up by the erroneous admission of highly inflammatory propensity evidence," wrote Trump's lawyers Todd Blanche, Emil Bove, and D. John Sauder, who have all been picked by Trump for top Justice Department posts in his incoming adminstration.
Trump's lawyers argued that the trial court's decisions, if left uncorrected, could set a damaging precedent of allowing "inflammatory propensity evidence in a wide range of future cases."
Trump's request for an en banc hearing is his final appellate option before possibly turning to the Supreme Court.
(LOS ANGELES) -- Fires are continuing to burn in Southern California, with further weather-related threats expected to increase as another Santa Ana wind event picks up this week.
While the end to the fire danger is not yet in sight, the hazards that will remain in its wake will be severe, especially due to the urban nature of many of the burn zones, experts told ABC News.
The fires burning in Los Angeles and Ventura Counties are occurring on the urban-wildland interface -- areas where wildland landscapes meet with urban dwellings, Costas Synolakis, a professor of civil engineering at the University of Southern California who has studied how urban fires exacerbate post-fire related hazards, told ABC News. The further away from wildland, the less chance of ignition, which is why heavy winds were able to spark house-to-house spread quickly.
But these wildfires are so severe that they have penetrated into more urban areas, Scott Stephens, professor of fire science at the University of California, Berkeley, told ABC News.
The fires will have unprecedented environmental impacts, Synolakis said.
Landslides will be of great concern once the fires subside
Once the fires are out, landslides from burn scars will be a big concern when rain returns to Southern California and could be an issue for years to come. Post-fire debris flows are particularly hazardous because they can occur with little warning, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
Post-wildfire landslides can exert great loads on objects in their paths, strip vegetation, block drainage ways, damage structures and endanger human life, according to the USGS. Additionally, wildfires could destabilize pre-existing, deep-seated landslides over long periods. Flows generated over longer periods could be accompanied by root decay and loss of soil strength, according to the USGS.
Landslides already historically occur in California. But conditions are currently extreme enough to warrant concern for increased threat, Edith de Guzman, a water equity and adaptation policy cooperative extension specialist at the University of California, Los Angeles, told ABC News
The wildfires are incinerating the shrub cover, so when a rain event does occur, the precipitation hits a ground surface that could be bare minerals and unable to soak it up, Stephens said.
"You're going to get flows of soil, rock and debris," Stephens said.
In Los Angeles, debris basins designed to catch some of the materials sliding down the mountain to lessen the threat of landslide hazards have been built in Mount Wilson and near Eaton Canyon.
The landslide danger will be especially dangerous in the Pacific Palisades, the neighborhood nestled in the lower hills of the Santa Monica mountain range on the Westside of Los Angeles that was decimated by the Palisades fire, because there is no debris basin there, Synolakis said.
"Palisades is going to be an area that people need to be on the watchout for landslides because the valley walls are steep," Synolakis said.
The houses that did survive the wildfire in the Palisades could also be in great danger of a severe rainstorm undercutting the foundation, Synolakis added.
Homes near creeks and steep hills could also contribute a lot of debris to landslides, Stephens said.
An average of 25 to 50 people are killed by landslides each year in the U.S., according to the USGS.
Long-term pollution could impact the region, experts say
An even bigger concern than potential landslides is the environmental impact of the fires, Synolakis said. In the near future, these burned-out communities will be filled with cleanup crews dressed in hazmat suits, Hugh Safford, a research fire ecologist at the University of California, Davis, told ABC News.
Since the fires are burning down manmade structures, the materials used to construct homes and cars are depositing toxins into the air and ground as they combust, the experts said.
"This is going into the local creek systems and in the local soils," Safford said, adding that many of the homes built before the 1980s likely are filled with asbestos.
Debris from the scorched homes near Malibu's Big Rock will end up in the ocean as well -- by wind and sea -- due to the proximity to the coastline, Synolakis said.
In Altadena, homes that were destroyed near the San Gabriel Valley Groundwater Basin could contribute pollutants to the water system, De Guzman said.
Researchers are already monitoring soil to see what kinds of heavy metals and other toxins have seeped in during the combustion process. It won't be long before the toxins end up in the ocean through the watershed, Synolakis said.
The environmental impact of a series of wildfires this big is yet to be seen, Synolakis said. And the cleanup process will be long and arduous, Safford said.
Fire danger expected to persist
On Monday afternoon, winds will begin to pick up in the mountains and higher elevations gusting 20 to 30 mph, locally 50 mph.
There is very little rain relief for the fires in sight for the Los Angeles area in the near future, forecasts show.
While there is a 20% chance for a sprinkle on Saturday, that precipitation is expected to occur closer to San Diego.
Dry conditions are expected in the long term as well. Last week, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration declared that La Nina conditions are expected to persist through April 2025, with Southern Californian expected to be very close to drier than normal.
(LOS ANGELES) -- Multiple fires raging across the Los Angeles area will cost insurers as much as $30 billion, Wells Fargo and Goldman Sachs estimated in a report released this week.
After accounting for non-insured damages, the total costs will balloon to $40 billion, the report said.
The ongoing fires, according to analysts, “appear to already be the costliest wildfire event in California history.”
The forecast would make the fires one of the 20 costliest natural disasters in U.S. history, when calculated as a share of the nation’s gross domestic product, analysts added.
The wildfires have left a path of wreckage in their wake. More than 12,000 homes and other structures have burned down in the fire, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said.
At least 24 people have died and more than a dozen others remain unaccounted for as multiple wildfires, fueled by severe drought conditions and strong winds, continue to burn.
Thousands of firefighters are battling wildfires across 45 square miles of Los Angeles County. About 92,000 people remain under mandatory evacuation orders and another 89,000 are under evacuation warnings.
A rise in high-cost natural disasters has strained insurers and helped send home insurance premiums nationwide soaring, experts previously told ABC News. Plus, a recent bout of acute inflation has made homebuilding and repairs more expensive, they noted, exacerbating the cost crunch for insurers.
Industry unrest roiling the insurance market in California demonstrates the role climate change has played in skyrocketing premiums and struggling insurers, some experts said.
The average home insurance price jumped a staggering 43% in California from January 2018 to December 2023, S&P Global found last year.
Over recent years, many insurers have reduced coverage or stopped offering it altogether in California as wildfire risks have grown. With more frequent and intense wildfires, insurers face the prospect of more claims and higher costs.
While wildfires are a natural and necessary part of Earth's cycle, climate change and other more direct human influences have increased their likelihood. Climate change is making naturally occurring events more intense and more frequent, research shows.
Los Angeles residents and homes remain under threat from the wildfires.
A "particularly dangerous situation" with a red flag warning will go into effect in western Los Angeles County and most of Ventura County on Tuesday, weather officials said, with winds threatening to further fuel historic Southern California wildfires.

Jessica Simpson has issued a new statement sharing that she and her husband of 10 years, former NFL player Eric Johnson, are "living separately."
The singer, actress and fashion mogul said in the statement, "Eric and I have been living separately navigating a painful situation in our marriage. Our children come first, and we are focusing on what is best for them."
The couple, who married in July 2014, share three children together: daughter Maxwell, 12, son Ace, 11, and daughter Birdie, 5.
Jessica added, "We are grateful for all of the love and support that has been coming our way, and appreciate privacy right now as we work through this as a family."
According to People, Johnson was seen without his wedding ring in November 2024, around the same time that Jessica wrote about making new music on Instagram and added, "This comeback is personal. It's an apology to myself for putting up with everything I did not deserve."
Jessica was previously married to 98 Degrees singer and Love Is Blind host Nick Lachey from 2002 to 2006.
TYLER— The New Summerfield Police Department (NSPD) responded to a high-speed chase on Tuesday morning in Cherokee County that left a Pennsylvania man injured.
