A year into his presidency, Biden’s news conference was just his second on U.S. soil and his sixth overall, according to historians who track interactions between presidents and the press.
As the future of his Build Back Better plan remains in doubt, Biden said at the news conference, “It’s clear to me that we’re going to have to probably break it up.”
In a nearly 160-page filing, New York Attorney General Letitia James (D) cited multiple examples of former president Donald Trump signing allegedly misleading financial statements that estimated the worth of properties in the Trump Organization portfolio and the value of his own fortune.
The House committee investigating the insurrection of Jan. 6, 2021, issued subpoenas Tuesday to members of Trump’s outside legal team who pursued and disseminated unfounded claims of mass election fraud.
