January 19, 2022: NY AG seeks testimony from Trump, U.S. free COVID test, Blinken arrives in Ukraine, Boris, Tonga
1. New York Attorney General Letitia James said that former U.S. President Donald J. Trump's family business misrepresented the value of its assets to obtain loans and other financial benefits, citing "significant" new evidence of fraudulent or misleading practices.
2. The U.S. government's new COVIDTests.gov website, set up for American households to order four free COVID-19 tests amid the Omicron variant surge, is up and running.
3. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken arrived in Kyiv in a whistle-stop diplomatic push to defuse tensions with Moscow over Ukraine, warning that Russia could launch a new attack at "very short notice”.
4. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, fighting to save his premiership amid a storm over a series of lockdown parties in Downing Street, told parliament he would not resign.
5. Telephone links between Tonga and the wider world began to be reconnected, though restoring full internet connectivity is likely to take a month or more according to the owner of the archipelago's sole subsea communications cable.
