From CNN, I'm a Falman DK, with the five things you need to know for Wednesday, January 22. Trump administration officials are considering inviting some people convicted in the January 6, 2021 Capitol attack to the White House. That's what two sources familiar with the talks told CNN. On Monday, President Donald Trump parted more than 1,000 people charged in the riot, and commuted the sentences of 14 people in the Proud Boys and Old Keepers, who were charged with seditious conspiracy.
So this is January 6, these are the hostages, approximately 1,500 for a part. Full part. Among the writers released this Pennsylvania mother, Rachel Powell, also known as the Pain Cat Lady, who broke a window with an axe during the Capitol insurrection. I guess I should feel joy.
I just, I'm just shocked. I can't believe it. Honestly, my family and I, we've experienced so much trauma in the last four years, that now the thought of having to reveal from that? Like, where do I start?
Jamie Diamond, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase, believes there's perhaps too much worrying and not enough faith in President Trump's tear of plan. Here's what he said in an interview on CNBC. They are an economic tool. That's it.

Trump is threatening to put a 10% tariff on all Chinese goods imported into the US, which could start as soon as February 1. This could mean higher prices on electronics, toys, and jewelry. Here's how China's foreign ministry is responding. We always believe that there is no winner in a trade war or tariff war.
China will always value safeguarded national interests. President Trump is threatening to impose tariffs and new sanctions on Russia if President Vladimir Putin doesn't quickly end the war in Ukraine. On a social media platform through the social, Trump said, well, we can do it the easy way or the hard way. But also said he doesn't want to hurt Russia.
He's been critical of Putin in this week, accused him of, quote, destroying Russia following its invasion of Ukraine. Meanwhile, the president's Middle East envoy says he plans to visit Gaza to ensure conditions of a ceasefire and hostage deal are being upheld. He'll be the first high-ranking US official known to visit the enclave in years. Trump said earlier this week he wasn't confident that he would hold, despite taking credit for brokering the agreement between Israel and Hamas.
Have you ever needed toothpaste or deodorant, popped into a pharmacy and then had to wait for an employee to unlock the display case? It's annoying, and it hurts sales for the stores, but Walgreens plans to keep the measure in place. The company's CEO said in an earnings call that it's, quote, a hand-to-hand combat battle to stop items from being stolen, despite creating an environment shoppers' hate. He added that Walgreens is looking at other methods, but a company's false person told CNN that locking things up is currently the most efficient solution.
The CEO's comments quickly spread on social media, where customers blasted the practice. One user wrote on X that they don't want to wait 12 minutes for assistance to unlock a $4 product. Coming up, honey can't cure everything. Hey, welcome back.
