Attorney General Merrick Garland appoints a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe

Attorney General Merrick Garland announced Friday he has appointed a special counsel in the Hunter Biden probe, deepening the investigation of the president's son ahead of the 2024 election.

Garland said he was naming David Weiss, the U.S. attorney in Delaware who has been probing the financial and business dealings of President Joe Biden's son, as the special counsel. It comes as plea deal talks in Hunter Biden's case hit an impasse.

Trump Attacks Georgia DA Fani Willis, Baselessly Claims She Had An Affair With a Gang Member

Former President Donald Trump launched a personal attack on Fulton County DA Fani Willis on Tuesday, calling her a “racist” and accusing her of having an affair with a gang leader she was investigating.

“And I probably have another where they say there’s a young woman, a young racist in Atlanta, they say racist,” Trump declared, referring to a likely fourth indictment.

Breaking: Fani Willis is about to drop the hammer on Trump world with at least a dozen indictments, ranging from conspiracy charges to possibly even RICO. I bet this news has Georgia on Republican's minds. - BlackKnight10K tweet

And Republicans Will Still Run As Anti-Abortion Candidates. Good.
