Trump was not happy with Ivanka’s testimony: Former President Trump criticized his daughter Ivanka Trump after her testimony that she accepted the assessment of former Attorney General Bill Bar that the election was not stolen. In a post on his platform Truth Social, Trump said Ivanka had been “checked.”

➤ SOME OF THE MOST INTENSIVE MOMENTS:
Capitol Police Day Descriptions: Testimony of Capitol Police Officer Caroline Edwards, one of 140 police officers injured in the attack. Edwards described seeing fellow officer Brian Sicknick die the next day. “He was ghostly pale. He was almost as pale as this sheet of paper,” she said.
Great if true from former Attorneys General Bill Bar and Ivanka Trump: “Bar was shown in an interview with commission officials who reaffirmed their belief that Trump’s allegations of election fraud in 2020 are ‘nonsense.’ This was given extra strength by a short video of Ivanka Trump, who says that she finds Bar’s failure to personally find the fraud convincing.

In the White House
The White House is considering Plan B if Rowe is destroyed:
In a statement from President Biden on Jimmy Kimmel Live, he mentioned options that the White House would consider if the Supreme Court actually overturned federal abortion rights.
According to Biden: “I think that if the court overturns Rowe against Wade and does what is prepared … if that happens, I think we should, we should legalize it. We need to make sure we pass legislation that makes it a law that the federal government says works that way. I think what we will have to do. We believe that there are some enforcement orders that I could use – we are considering this at the moment. ”
