“I don’t think you know what you’re here for,” Greene said to Crockett. “I think your fake eyelashes are messing up what you’re reading.”

- President Joe Biden took aim at former President Donald Trump for failing to bring a Foxconn plant to Wisconsin on Wednesday, casting him as someone who talked but didn’t deliver.
“He promised a $10 billion investment by Foxconn. He came with your senator, Ron Johnson, with a golden shovel and didn’t build a damn thing,” Biden said. “They dug a hole with those golden shovels and then they fell into it.”
Biden was highlighting a new Microsoft data center that would be built on grounds where then-President Trump announced that Foxconn would build a $10 billion factory for making LCD panels. That plant was never built, even after the Taiwanese electronics manufacturer received millions in subsidies and bulldozed homes and farms to build the factory.

- Description
- On Wednesday, Columbia University president Minouche Shafik faced the House committee whose grilling led to the ouster of her Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania counterparts last year.
Panel members of the hearing focused on campus antisemitism and wanted to know how Shafik was protecting Jewish and pro-Israel students on campus with frequent pro-Palestinian protests.
One day later, Shafik made national headlines — calling on the NYPD to descend on Columbia’s campus and arrest a group of students who had set up tents and refused to leave their “Gaza Solidarity Encampment” for 30 hours. The encampment, Shafik wrote to the NYPD, posed “a clear and present danger to the substantial functioning of the University.”

- Description
- Former President Donald Trump’s criminal trial in New York begins Monday with an immediate and fundamental challenge: selecting a jury that can fairly judge one of the most famous and polarizing figures alive.
“Picking a jury in a case involving someone as familiar to everyone as former President Trump poses unique problems,” Joshua Steinglass, the senior trial counsel in the office of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, said at a recent hearing — in what may be the understatement of the year.

- Trump: 'The gag order has to come off'

- Description
- Donald Trump insisted his gag order be lifted on Friday after prosecutors accused him of repeatedly violating it.
Under the gag order issued last month by Justice Juan Merchan, the Manhattan judge presiding over the hush money trial, Trump is prohibited from making any public statements about potential witnesses “concerning their potential participation” in the case.
Prosecutors filed motions this week to hold Donald Trump in contempt for social media posts they allege violated his gag order in the case.
"The judge has to take off this gag order," Trump said. "It's very, very unfair."

- Members of the Kennedy family endorsed President Joe Biden on Thursday in a clear rebuke of Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s presidential bid.
"That's right, the Kennedy family endorses Joe Biden for president," Kerry Kennedy, daughter of Robert Kennedy and RFK Jr.'s sister, said at a campaign event in Philadelphia.
The Kennedy family’s endorsement is part of a broader, all-party effort to attack the RFK Jr. campaign, which Biden aides and Democratic allies see as a threat to his election.

- Description
- President Joe Biden claimed Wednesday that his uncle Ambrose Finnegan's remains were not recovered during World War II because of cannibals.
"They never found the body because there used to be a lot of cannibals – for real – in that part of the New Guinea," Biden said.
There is documented evidence of cannibalism in New Guinea during the 20th century, but Biden's retelling differs from official reports.
