Description
For the first time since 2008, the president of Kenya will make a state
visit today, where he is set to receive the whole nine yards of special
treatment. There are a few reasons for this: Kenya is celebrating 50
years of independence, and it has become an emerging tech hub. But there
is also the fact that President Biden promised to visit the country and
has yet to stay true to his word. Will that cast a certain light on the
whole event? Playbook co-author Eugene Daniels joins Playbook editor
Mike DeBonis to weigh in. Plus, the Trump defense team rested their case
yesterday, but it looks like court won’t adjourn by the end of the week
after all. All that, plus the rest of the news you need to know today.
