BARTIROMO: It may very well be that Kevin McCarthy is called to testify under oath. Do you want to tell us what took place on that phone call?

TRUMP: No, I don’t have to, because Kevin will speak and I’m sure Kevin will be, you know, very good from that standpoint.
BREAKING

House Jan. 6 committee asks Kevin McCarthy for information about communications with Trump, Mark Meadows

washingtonpost.com/politics/2022/…

KEVIN MCCARTHY: “It is with neither regret nor satisfaction that I have concluded to not participate with this select committee’s abuse of power that stains this institution today and will harm it going forward.” republicanleader.house.gov/leader-mccarth…
MCCARTHY: "My conversation [with Trump] was very short advising the president of what was happening here. There is nothing that I can provide the Jan 6 Committee for legislation of their moving forward. There is nothing in that realm. It is pure politics of what they are playing"
May 20, 2021

REPORTER: Would you be willing to testify about your conversation with Donald Trump on Jan. 6 if you were asked by an outside commission—

MCCARTHY: Sure. Next question.

New @thefix mashup:

The Biden administration’s many wrong predictions about Afghanistan

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

Secretary of State Antony Blinken on April 18:

“No one, starting with the Taliban, has an interest in going back to a civil war … if they start something up again, they’re going to be in a long war.”

Special envoy for Afghanistan Zalmay Khalilzad on May 18:

“The statements that the forces will disintegrate and the Talibs will take over in short order are mistaken. The real choices the Afghans will face is between a long war and negotiated settlement”

Under Trump, Republicans touted the coronavirus vaccines.

Now, under Biden, they’re questioning them.

washingtonpost.com/politics/2021/…

Ron Johnson

Dec. 13, 2020: “President Trump deserves a lot of credit [for helping produce the vaccines]”

June 28, 2021: “Just because the vaccine is generally safe, doesn’t mean that it's 100% safe.”

Rand Paul

Nov. 19, 2020: “I’ve been a big proponent of releasing it [the vaccines] early”

Dec. 7, 2020: “To government officials…let’s get the vaccine out as soon as we can.”

June 24, 2021: “One dose may be enough, but also maybe zero doses is enough”

More than 70 officers have left force since January 6, Capitol Police union says cnn.com/2021/05/21/pol…
NEW

“The U.S. Capitol Police had specific intelligence that supporters of President Donald Trump planned to mount an armed invasion of the Capitol at least two weeks before the Jan. 6 riot, according to new findings in a bipartisan Senate investigation”

washingtonpost.com/national-secur…
“The report faults slow mobilization and poor interdepartmental communication — not any sort of stand-down order from the White House, as some Trump critics had speculated — for the fact that it took the National Guard more than three hours to respond” washingtonpost.com/national-secur…

REPORTER: Mr. President, can I ask you a quick question on Israel before you drive away since it’s so important?

BIDEN: No you can’t. Not unless you get in front of the car as I step on it. I’m only teasing.
