House Republicans voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. Garland refused their request for audio recordings of DOJ attorney Robert Hur’s interview with President Biden. Hur had described Biden as a “sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory.” It is doubtful the DOJ will act on the House Republicans’ vote.

In related news, reports indicate that a high-ranking attorney left the DOJ to assist Alvin Bragg’s investigation into Donald Trump. Michael Colangelo’s pivotal role at the DOJ and the Bragg case and the timing of his transition suggest possible coordination with the White House. This development seems to indicate political targeting of President Trump.
The Supreme Court dismissed a case about the abortion pill, ruling that the plaintiffs lacked legal standing to sue. Writing for the unanimous court, Justice Kavanaugh concluded, “The plaintiffs have sincere legal, moral, ideological, and policy objections to elective abortion and to FDA’s relaxed regulation of mifepristone. But under Article III of the Constitution, those kinds of objections alone do not establish a justiciable case or controversy in federal court.”
Finally, The Daily Wire obtained a few pages from the Covenant School shooter’s journals. The FBI had warned the Nashville police not to release the journals because they feared a false narrative in the press. The few pages show a girl who is full of rage about her gender, her parents, and their Christian faith. Soon a judge will be ruling whether to release the full journal to the public. Believers need to be praying about this growing trend among America’s youth and even in Christian families. Check out 7 Prayers to Defeat the Transgender Ideology at IFApray.org.
Father, every one of today’s stories involves the judicial system and transparency. We pray for hidden things to be revealed and for just results in the cases involving AG Garland, President Trump, and the Covenant School Shooter. We pray for hearts to change on abortion and sexuality in America. In the mighty name of Jesus, amen.
