Hey from CNN, I'm Ifeoma Dike with the 5 things you need to know for Tuesday, January 6th.

We begin with new details on the capture of Venezuelan leader Nicolas Maduro and his wife over the weekend. Trump administration officials told lawmakers the couple was injured after hitting their heads as they were fleeing U.S. Forces trying to arrest them. That's what sources familiar with Monday's briefing tell CNN. They say the couple tried to hide behind a heavy steel door inside their compound but they hit their heads on the low doorframe. The two appeared in court yesterday in New York with visible injuries, with an attorney for Maduro's wife saying she may also have broken or severely bruised ribs. Maduro and his wife pleaded not guilty to drug and weapons charges and chose not to fight their detention. CNN has asked their lawyers for comment on the injuries. Meanwhile, President Donald Trump celebrated the Venezuelan operation during a speech at a House GOP retreat in Washington, D.C. Today.

You know, people are saying it goes down with one of the most incredible. It was so complex, 152 airplanes, many, many talk about boots in the ground.

More news coming up, including where the release of the Epstein files stands. L.

Eaders of neighboring countries, including Colombia and Mexico, were put on notice by Trump that he could potentially take some kind of action against them too.

Colombia is very sick too run by a sick man who likes making cocaine and selling it to the United States and he's not going to be doing it very long.

That's Trump speaking to reporters on Sunday. Colombia's president refuted Trump's claim and defended his government's record on fighting drug trafficking in a lengthy post on X. He also accused Trump of trying to turn Latin American nations into U.S. Colonies. Trump also expressed a renewed desire for Greenland, a Danish territory, claiming the U. S. Needs it for security purposes. Both Greenland and Denmark, a NATO ally, opposed the idea and European leaders back to Denmark in a joint statement. However, White House adviser Stephen Miller doubled down.

For the United States to secure the Arctic region, to protect and defend NATO and NATO interests, obviously Greenland should be part of the United State.

The White House said Tuesday it's discussing a range of options to acquire Greenland and that using the military isn't off the table. In a Facebook post, Greenland's foreign minister says the country asked to meet with Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

The Justice Department says it's released less than 1% of its Jeffrey Epstein files and that it's still reviewing more than two million documents. That's what Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche told a federal judge in a court filing yesterday to give an update on their progress. They added, quote, substantial work remains to be done. In late December, the DOJ said there were more than a million newly discovered documents potentially relating to Epstein and that it would take weeks to review and release them. This despite a law passed by Congress in November, giving the DOG a December 19th deadline to release all of its files on the convicted sex offender.

In Uvalde, Texas, a former school district police officer is on trial for the botched response to the 2022 mass shooting at Robb Elementary School. Jurors wiped away tears as they listened to the first witness and his 911 call begging for help the day of the shooting.

Inaudible...

19 children and two teachers were killed that day. Prosecutors say Adrian Gonzalez was the first officer to arrive at the school and had enough time and information to distract or delay the shooter. Gonzalez has pleaded not guilty to 29 counts of child endangerment or abandonment. CNN's Shimon Prokupecz is in Texas.

So this is all part of the evidence that prosecutors are trying to use to show that this officer failed in his job and that it's criminal. Of course, the defense team is arguing, look, our client, Adrian Gonzalez, is not to blame for this. Who you should be blaming for this is the gunman.

Coming up, Republicans' thin majority gets even thinner.

House Speaker Mike Johnson's narrow majority has shrunk even further. Today, House GOP leadership says longtime Republican Congressman Doug LaMalfa from Northern California has died. He was 65 years old. Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene, a close Trump ally turned critic, announced her resignation from office last year. Johnson can only afford to lose two Republicans in any party line vote on the floor.

That is it for us. We're back at 6 a.m. Eastern.
