From CNN, I'm Erin Mathewson with the five things you need to know for Tuesday, April 14th.
US officials are internally discussing details for a second round of talks with Iran before the ceasefire expires next week.
That's what a source familiar with the talks told CNN, though it's unclear at this point if it'll even happen.
Iranian state media reports there's been no decision on another round of talks.
But given previous Iranian resistance to a number of US demands, it's not clear Tehran would submit to Trump's terms anytime soon, even as the US began a blockade of Iranian ports yesterday.
Sticking points include control over the Strait of Hormuz and Iran's nuclear program.
Meanwhile, ambassadors to Israel and Lebanon arrived in Washington today.
And it's the first public meeting between senior officials from those two countries in more than 40 years.
A Lebanese official told CNN, Lebanon will seek a ceasefire as a precondition for broader negotiations.
Coming up... I think that it was 100% the right thing for him to do.
I think it should have been done even sooner, but I'm glad that he did it.
A woman who's accused Representative Eric Swalwell of sexual misconduct is reacting to his announcement that he's resigning from Congress.
I don't think that putting him back into a congressional office would have been good for anybody.
And I don't think those women in his office or on Capitol Hill in general should be around him for one more day.
Ali Samarko spoke exclusively to CNN after learning that Eric Swalwell is resigning from Congress.
She's one of four women who have accused the Democrat from California of sexual misconduct, which the House Ethics Committee had just announced it would be investigating.
Swalwell also suspended his campaign for governor in California. in light of CNN's reporting.
Now he strongly denied the allegations, but in his resignation post he acknowledged he's made mistakes.
So Marco tells CNN.
She initially reached out to Swalwell in 2021 for professional advice on social media to discuss politics.
The conversation moved from friendly to personal over text and then over to Snapchat, where she says he sent her an unsolicited photo of his genitalia.
He never should have ran for governor to begin with, knowing what he knows.
And nobody else is responsible for what happened to him.
Eric Swalwell is responsible for Eric Swalwell, not the media and definitely not the women.
Next Tuesday there's a special election in Virginia that could reshape the state's congressional map and potentially flip several US.
House seats.
So Democrats are pushing forward a redistricting referendum that could net the party as many as four House seats, which is a big deal, given Republicans hold a razor-thin majority as it is.
Early voting data suggests Democrats have the edge so far.
If it passed, there'd be a new seventh congressional district.
And today a former advisor to Vice President Mike Pence announced she'd run as a Democrat in that new district.
Olivia Troy publicly broke with the Republican Party in 2020 after serving in political and national security roles.
And she's continued to be a critic of President Trump ever since.
An American man who told investigators his wife fell overboard and vanished in rough waters in the Bahamas is no longer in custody.
Brian Hooker was released without charges after being arrested and questioned in connection to the disappearance of his wife, Lynette Hooker.
The Royal Bahamas Police Force said it quote recommended that no charges be filed pending the outcome of the investigation.
Now it's unclear whether Hooker will be required to stay in the Bahamas as the investigation continues.
CNN has reached out to his attorney, as well as the police and prosecutors for more information.
Hooker told CBS he'll never stop looking for his wife and wants to believe she's still alive.
And he's denied all allegations.

Severe storms are sweeping through the central US this week, so CNN meteorologist Derek Van Dam is here.
Derek, what can people expect for the rest of the week?
And where are the storms headed next?
Now, today's threat will likely be the most dangerous of the week.
We've got tens of millions of people potentially impacted, from the Texas-Mexico border to the Great Lakes and portions of the Northeast, all at risk of seeing severe storms, including Chicago Milwaukee, Des Moines and Detroit, where Level 3 of 5 threat exists for potential of giant-sized hail, inches or greater in diameter, damaging wind gusts and a few strong tornadoes storms they'll fire late this evening.
They could last well past sunset, so have multiple ways to receive your weather warnings if you're in the affected areas.
Well, that's all for now.
Our next episode drops later tonight.
I'm CNN tech reporter Claire Duffy.
This week on the podcast, Terms of Service.
What do we know about how much AI is contributing to energy consumption, energy demand right now?
And how does that compare with other industries?
The best resource for that is the International Energy Agency, which is sort of the global energy think tank that collects data on all of this.
And what they predict is that about 8 of the additional electricity that we're going to need by 2030 that will be for data centers.
The other 92% is for other things, industry electrification, electric vehicles, electricity.
And AI is really only driving part of that increase in demand.
