Cabinet picks nearly complete. I'm Deborah Valentine, Fox News. President-elect Donald Trump naming all but a handful of his cabinet choices. Fox's Brian Yannis has the update from West Palm Beach, Florida. President-elect Trump announcing nine new administration picks last night, including his nominee for Treasury Secretary Scott Besant. He's a billionaire hedge fund manager as well as a key economic advisor to Trump. Now, if confirmed by the Senate...

Besant would hold the most important economic, really, position in Trump's new administration, tasked with ushering in Trump's new tax policies through Congress, like no tax on tips and overtime, and managing how to implement tariffs on foreign goods without worsening inflation. Besant is a supporter of phasing in tariffs.

This afternoon, President-elect Trump said Brooke Rollins of Texas is his choice for Agriculture Secretary. She served on Trump's 2016 Advisory Council.

President Biden hosting one of his final White House dinners. Fox's David Spott recaps from the White House. The Biden administration is wrapping up in the final weeks. President Biden is here at the White House this weekend, a quiet weekend at this point now. A dinner on the South Lawn last night with several hundred people to honor the president and the first lady. Dr. Biden, as a way to say goodbye and thank you for the past few

four years. But there's still work to be done, and President Biden wants to get many of his appointed judges confirmed and across the finish line. These are lifetime appointments. Five more Biden-appointed judges are one step closer to crossing that finish line. They made it out of committee and will head to the Senate floor after Thanksgiving. Some House Democrats are also urging Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor to retire so that President Biden would be able to appoint a younger replacement before President-elect Trump is sworn in. America is listening to Fox News.

Is the death penalty still a possibility for the illegal migrant sentenced this week to life in prison in the killing of Georgia nursing student Lakin Riley? Fox's Eben Brown reports. A Georgia judge convicted illegal immigrant Jose Ibarra of the assault and murder of Lakin Riley, the Augusta University nursing student who was killed while going for a run.

Ibarra waived his right to a jury trial and the judge sentenced him to life behind bars as a result of the elected prosecutor opting not to seek a death penalty. Now a Republican state legislator wants Ibarra resentenced to death. Calling on Georgia Attorney General Chris Carr to file an emergency order in the matter, a spokesperson for the Attorney General's office says he does not have the jurisdiction.

Evan Brown, Fox News. Despite continued ceasefire negotiations, airstrikes continue in Beirut, other parts of southern Lebanon and Gaza. Fox's Stephanie Bennett. Early morning strikes in Beirut. They destroyed an eight-story apartment block, killing more than a dozen and injuring more than 63 people there on the ground. The strike happened around four this morning, local time. The Israeli military did not warn residents to evacuate before the attack, but they did

which they have done on previous attacks. And Israeli media claim it was an attempt to assassinate a senior Hezbollah official. And this comes a day after heavy bombardment of Beirut's southern suburbs in the coastal city of Tyre. This week, U.S. envoy Amos Hochstein traveled to the region in an attempt to broker a ceasefire deal to end this more than 13 months of fighting there. Lebanese health officials expect the death toll to rise.

An Israeli Moldovan rabbi living in the United Arab Emirates missing. Israeli authorities are raising suspicions that he may have been kidnapped as tensions are high with Iran. Israeli media citing unnamed security sources reporting that Swee Kogan may have been kidnapped. He's been missing since Thursday. The Israeli prime minister's office acknowledging his disappearance without elaborating. I'm Deborah Valentine. This is Fox News.
