Description
President Joe Biden travels to Wilkes-Barre, Pa., this afternoon to talk
about crime, and the White House is announcing a new “Safer America
Plan” that details how Biden would spend a previous congressional
request for $37 billion to “support law enforcement and crime
prevention.”
And the eighth public hearing of the Jan. 6 committee, though likely not
the last, begins tonight at 8 p.m. Eastern. It’s expected to go on for
about two hours and will focus on what Donald Trump did — or refused to
do — for 187 minutes at the White House after his speech at the Ellipse
and before he finally asked rioters to leave the Capitol.
“The story we’re going to tell,” a committee aide said, “is that in that
time, President Trump refused to act to defend the Capitol as a violent
mob stormed” it.

Nov. 19, 2021: After months of wrangling, what’s another few hours?: If a “New York minute” is a few passing seconds, then the opposite is a “McCarthy minute” — something that drags on and on for hours. On Thursday night, at 8:38 p.m., House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy took to the House floor with a speech designed to delay Democrats’ passage of the Build Back Better package. This morning, at 5:10 a.m., some 8 hours and 32 minutes later, he finally stopped talking. by POLITICO Playbook Daily Briefing
