President Biden will revive the eviction moratorium for 60 days, saying the CDC has found the authority to extend it where areas are experiencing particularly high rates of Covid-19 infection. More soon for @CourthouseNews
@CourthouseNews WaPo first to report, AP also reporting.
Biden at his remarks tonight says CDC has found legal authority to revive a version of the moratorium but effectively, they expect opposition in the courts regardless.
Biden: The existing moratorium was unconstitutional, the courts found but in the meantime, there have been millions given to states to provide for rent to those people who can't afford to stay in homes. We're urging them to distribute funds to landlords and that would help vastly
I got a story breaking all of this down for you coming up

You can read the CDC's eviction moratorium order released today HERE:
cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…
Story coming up for @CourthouseNews
The CDC has extended the eviction moratorium through Oct. 3, adding it is "subject to further extension, modification, or recession based on public health circumstances."
@CourthouseNews
"The order is not a rule within the meaning of the Administrative Procedure Act but rather an emergency action taken under the existing authority of CFR 70.2, the purpose of which is to enable the CDC to take swift steps to prevent contagion w/o a 2nd round of public comments"

From the White House, as a vote to extend the eviction moratorium has stalled, President @JoeBiden calls for "all possible steps" to be taken to "immediately disburse funds" given the deadline.
Biden says "no excuse" for delay: "State and local governments began receiving Emergency Rental Assistance funding in February and were eligible for an additional $21.5 billion passed in the American Rescue Plan...
Biden: "Five months later, with localities across the nation showing that they can deliver funds effectively – there can be no excuse for any state or locality not accelerating funds to landlords and tenants that have been hurt during this pandemic."

Good morning. The first hearing of the committee tasked to investigate the attack on the U.S. Capitol on January 6th gets underway today. Thread will start here. Lawmakers debut the committee with testimony from officers who were on the front lines against the mob
@CourthouseNews
I am in the room and we are about a half hour from starting. The panelists today will be US Capitol Police Sergeant Aquilino Gonnell, U.S. Capitol Police Private First Class Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police Department officers Michael Fanone and Daniel Hodges.
TODAY: The medieval-style battle that was waged at the U.S. Capitol as thousands of people clamored to overtake the building and overturn the 2020 election comes into sharp relief Tuesday with first-of-its-kind testimony before a congressional committee.
