Summary

Dysfunction continues in the people's House, with no clear succession plan for a new Speaker. Sources tell CNN that in a baffling prioritization, former Speaker McCarthy is behind a move to kick former Speaker Nancy Pelosi out of her office space. Plus, Trump attacks the judge and the attorney general in his $250 million civil fraud case on social media, hours after his gag order is issued. And, the $8 billion fraud trial of disgraced crypto king Sam Bankman-Fried begins. Also tonight: the parents of a black gymnast join to speak out about their daughter being snubbed at a medal ceremony and the subsequent support she received from Olympic Gymnast Simone Biles.
