The Republican, who represents Ohio’s 4th congressional district, wrote in a letter to committee chair rep. Bennie Thompson that the inquiry into the January 6 riot amounts to an “unprecedented and inappropriate demand to examine the basis for a colleague’s decision on a particular matter pending” before the House of Representatives. “This request is far outside the bounds of any legitimate inquiry, violates core Constitutional principles, and would serve to further erode legislative norms,” he added....

During a menorah lighting on Wednesday, Biden told guests in the East Room that he had known every Israeli prime minister since Golda Meir, who served as the country’s fourth head of government. He said: “During the Six Day War…she invited me to come over because I was going to be the liaison between she and the Egyptians about the Suez,” without specifying what he meant by “liaison.” He said he sat “in front of her desk” as she flipped through a “bevy of maps,” adding “it was so depressing…about what happened....
