Two National Guard members are in critical condition after being shot near the White House in what's being called a "targeted" attack. FBI Director Kash Patel says the guard members were shot while on patrol. The suspect is in custody, with CBS News reporting he is a 29-year-old Afghan national who entered the U.S. in 2021.        Millions are hitting the roads and airports on the day before Thanksgiving. Triple-A expects a new record, with at least 73 million people traveling by car -- accounting for about 90-percent of all Thanksgiving travelers. Many of the estimated eight-million holiday fliers hope a strong storm system doesn't derail their plans.        President Trump is celebrating the end of what he calls "an illegal, unconstitutional, and unAmerican hoax." Trump's post was referring to a judge dismissing the 2020 Georgia election interference case against him, after the new prosecutor in the case dropped the charges. Trump was originally charged Fulton County DA Fani [[ faw-NEE ]] Willis of attempting to overturn the election results.        The chairman of the House Oversight Committee is voicing concerns over the potential for conspiracy theories to overshadow the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein. During a recent interview with Politico, Chair James Comer drew comparisons to the 1964 report led by Chief Justice Earl Warren on the assassination of former President Kennedy. The Republican congressman shared he fears the report will be like the Warren Report and "nobody will ever believe it."        Reports of Norovirus cases are rising in states across the nation. According to data from WastewaterSCAN, the highly contagious, hard-to-kill virus has been rising since as early as mid-October, especially in states like Louisiana, Michigan and Indiana. While norovirus wastewater concentrations have increased nationwide by 69-percent since October, rates are currently lower compared to last year's spike.        Paramount is going forward with "Rush Hour 4" after pressure from President Trump. Trump reportedly asked the studio to make a sequel to the blockbuster trilogy, which last saw a film in 2007, on behalf of director Brett Ratner. Studios had been hesitant to work with Ratner, who faced allegations of sexual misconduct in 2017.
