The GOP-led House Judiciary Committee sued Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday, requesting that a judge order the audio of President Joe Biden’s interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur be released.  Earlier this year, the Biden administration asserted executive privilege to block release of the audio of the two-day interview in which Hur pressed the president over his handling of classified documents. The lawsuit from the Judiciary Committee says Biden’s assertion of executive privilege is “frivolous” and the audio of the interviews is important for lawmaker’s inquiry into the Justice Department’s handling of the Biden documents investigation.  “The Committee thus needs those recordings to assess the Special Counsel’s characterization of the President, which he and White House lawyers have forcefully disputed, and ultimate recommendation that President Biden should not be prosecuted,” the suit says. Hur recommended no charges for Biden despite the fact he found Biden improperly retained classified documents while out of office, noting his team found that Biden struggled to remember the dates his son died or when he was vice president. A jury would view Biden, who is now 81, as “a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory,” Hur’s report concluded. The House Judiciary Committee suit asks the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to overrule the assertion of executive privilege and make Garland produce the tapes. House lawmakers say the audio will provide important verbal and nonverbal context missing from the transcripts of the interview that have been made available.  CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP “That verbal and nonverbal context is quite important here because the Special Counsel relied on the way that President Biden presented himself during their interview — ’as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory’ — when ultimately recommending that President Biden should not be prosecuted for unlawfully retaining and disclosing classified information,” the suit says. “The audio recordings, not the cold transcripts, are the best available evidence of how President Biden presented himself during the interview,” the suit adds.  House Republicans previously voted to hold Garland in contempt over the tapes, but the DOJ declined to prosecute.

In a bold and unprecedented move, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (AOC) has called for the impeachment of several Supreme Court justices following their handling of former President Donald Trump's presidential immunity case. AOC's comments come in the wake of the court's deliberations on whether Trump should be immune from prosecution for actions taken while in office, a decision that could set a significant precedent for future presidential conduct. MAJOR BREAKING: AOC says she will launch articles of impeachment against Supreme Court justices for corruption. “The Supreme Court has become consumed by a corruption crisis beyond its control. Today’s ruling represents an assault on American democracy. It is up to… pic.twitter.com/c3zO4HSLeh — CALL TO ACTIVISM (@CalltoActivism) July 1, 2024 AOC has accused the conservative justices of the Supreme Court of undermining democracy and paving the way for authoritarianism. She argues that their potential ruling in favor of broad presidential immunity is a dangerous precedent that could allow future presidents to commit crimes without fear of prosecution. "If we allow this to stand, we are essentially saying that the president is above the law," AOC stated in a recent interview. Her call for impeachment is grounded in her belief that the justices are failing to uphold their duty to interpret the Constitution in a manner that protects democratic principles. "These justices are not protecting the Constitution; they are enabling its destruction by granting unchecked power to the executive branch," she declared. AOC's stance reflects a deepening rift within American politics regarding the balance of power among the branches of government. AOC Says She'll File Articles Of Impeachment Against Supreme Court https://t.co/LXJ6vJ9lWq — HuffPost Politics (@HuffPostPol) July 1, 2024 From a Republican perspective, AOC's call for impeachment is viewed as an extreme reaction to a legitimate legal debate. Republicans argue that the Supreme Court's role is to interpret the law impartially, and that granting some level of immunity to a president is necessary to ensure the executive branch can function without undue interference. They see AOC's comments as an attempt to politicize the judiciary and undermine its independence. AOC's remarks have sparked significant debate within the Democratic Party as well. While some progressives support her call for impeachment, believing that the conservative majority on the court is overly partisan, others caution against such drastic measures. They warn that pursuing impeachment could further polarize the nation and damage the credibility of the judiciary. The Supreme Court's decision on Trump's immunity is expected to have far-reaching implications. If the court rules in favor of Trump, it could provide future presidents with a shield against prosecution for any actions taken while in office, effectively placing them above the law. This potential outcome has fueled AOC's fervent opposition and her dramatic call for accountability. In conclusion, AOC's call for the impeachment of Supreme Court justices highlights the intense and ongoing battle over the boundaries of presidential power and judicial responsibility. As the nation awaits the court's decision, the political ramifications continue to unfold, with AOC positioning herself at the forefront of the fight to preserve democratic norms and hold the judiciary accountable.

Sarah Ferguson is honoring her “dear friend” Princess Diana on Diana’s would-be 63rd birthday. Sarah, better known as Fergie, remembered her longtime best friend in a social post on July 1st. In it, she shared a candid photo of herself and Diana enjoying the Battle of Britain Anniversary Parade on September 15, 1990. The two are standing on the Buckingham Palace balcony smiling as they appear to watch a flyover. Along with the picture, Sarah penned a sweet message. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Sarah Ferguson (Fergie) (@sarahferguson15) “Happy birthday to my dear friend, Diana,” she began. “You were a pillar of light and love. And what a legacy you have left behind. I will forever remember our laughter and the kindred, kind spirit I found in you.” “I am sure you are watching over us always. Rest in peace, my friend,” she concluded. Despite Rumors, Sarah Ferguson And Princess Diana Were “Best Friends” Until Diana’s Tragic Death Princess Diana and Sarah Ferguson were childhood friends, according to People. They met when Sarah was 15, and Diana was 14, and they remained close as they grew up and married into the royal family. It was because of her friendship with Diana that Sarah met Prince Andrew and eventually married him in 1986. When she said “I do,” she and Diana became sister-in-laws. Sarah and Andrew eventually divorced in 1996, the same year Diana and King Charles ended their marriage. “I said to her, ‘Oh, Andrew’s really good-looking,’ ” Sarah shared during a 2021 interview with the publication. “And she said, ‘Duh, Fergs!'” Sarah admitted that she and Diana both suffered from “mental health issues,” largely due to their immense fame and responsibilities. So they leaned on each other for mutual support. “She said, ‘Fergie, remember one thing, When you’re at the top of the pedestal, it’s so easy to fall off. And you’re at the bottom. You just climb up,'” Sarah remembered her saying. “We were positioned as saint and sinner. And the most important thing was to remain robust together, and we did, no matter what anyone wrote.” Sarah also dispelled rumors that she and Diana had a falling out following their divorces. Tabloids claimed they were no longer speaking when Diana tragically lost her life in a car crash in 1997. But Sarah said there was absolutely no truth to that. “We promised each other we would always be together — there was never any daylight between us,” she noted. “But everybody wanted that because we were so strong together. People want to break something so strong.” This story’s featured image is by Princess Diana Archive/Getty Images.
