Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) announced an “agreement in principle” with Joe Biden on a deal to raise the federal debt ceiling Saturday night.
Hillary Clinton criticizes House Republicans for using the debt ceiling as a political weapon, warning that it undermines the U.S.'s global credibility and plays into the hands of adversaries like Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping, and warns of the potential danger of playing games with the debt ceiling to the U.S. dollar's pre-eminent position in the global economy.
Mike Morell, the former acting director of the CIA, has testified before the House Judiciary Committee, stating that he organized a letter with the signatures of 50 intelligence community colleagues in October 2020 claiming that emails from Hunter Biden's laptop were Russian disinformation.
