3:05pm- From their X social media account, the House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic stated: “Last night, based partially on evidence uncovered in the Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic’s recent staff report and public hearing, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services commenced individual debarment proceedings against Dr. Peter Daszak, President of EcoHealth Alliance, Inc. This move comes one week after the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services issued an immediate, government-wide suspension on all taxpayer funds allocated to EcoHealth.

4:05pm- Brooke Singman of Fox News writes: “House Republicans have obtained information they say proves "indisputably" that Hunter Biden lied under oath multiple times during his congressional deposition earlier this year. The House Ways & Means Committee on Wednesday held a mark-up session to discuss documents protected under IRS code 6103 — a portion of the tax code that keeps certain information confidential. Discussing that material without it being properly released by the House Ways & Means Committee is considered a felony.” You can read the full article: https://www.foxnews.com/politics/house-gop-claims-hunter-biden-lied-under-oath-during-congressional-deposition

4:20pm- Could Joe Biden be absent from general election ballots in Ohio and Alabama? The Democratic National Convention (DNC) is being held from August 19th to 22nd—but Ohio law requires parties certify their candidates at least 90 days before election day. President Biden will officially become his party’s nominee 75 days before the election—missing the deadline. Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose and Ohio House Speaker Jason Stephens have both warned the DNC that there will not be a legislative solution to this problem. While it is unlikely Biden would win Ohio regardless, are Democrats willing to just forfeit the state and its 17 electoral votes?
