Today starts off with the January 6th committee having enough evidence to make a criminal referral to the Justice Department against Donald J. Trump for the attack. Then, it’s revealed that Jared Kushner’s firm Affinity Partners got a $2 billion dollar investment from Saudi Arabia in a deal that was made shortly after Trump left office. Continuing with the Trump theme, Donald Trump Jr may have implicated himself in the scheme to overturn the election when he texted the former White House Chief of Staff. We then head east to take a look at the 8-mile long convoy of Russian forces making its way to the Donbas region in Eastern Ukraine. Lastly, we get the final update about Musk announcing that he will not be joining the Twitter board.
