J

• Attorney General Merrick Garland appointed Robert Hur as special counsel to investigate President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents.
• House Speaker Kevin McCarthy said Congress should conduct its own investigation.
• Republicans have tried to suggest that Biden was being treated differently than Trump is, but the appointment of a special counsel undermines that.
• Biden’s team offered up to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) the information that Biden had documents in his possession, and is apparently cooperating with the Justice Department.
• Trump is apparently being investigated for obstruction and for violations of the Espionage Act.
• Arguments began today in the trial of five Proud Boys for their actions associated with the events of January 6, 2021.
• The Justice Department today argued that the Proud Boys led the attack on the Capitol, while defense attorneys argued that their clients were being used as “scapegoats” for Trump.
