Morning Announcements

Today's headlines: Yesterday the House January 6th committee held what they said would be their final session, but that was before we knew that they were contemplating issuing a subpoena to Donald Trump himself. A Trump employee told federal investigators that Trump personally instructed him to move documents that the National Archives and DOJ were trying to get back. The Supreme Court rejected Trump’s request that the special master be given access to review the approximately 100 classified documents that were separated from the other 11 thousand other documents found at Mar-a-Lago. New reporting from the Wall Street Journal reviewed the past 5 years worth of financial disclosures across 50 federal regulatory agencies, and found major levels of corruption. Finally for this week, CVS announced yesterday that they are absorbing the price of the tampon tax in 12 states.
