A document from the House Oversight Committee has been released that refutes Republican claims of a bribery scheme between Joe Biden and a foreign national. The document is a 2019 questionnaire filled out by Mykola Zlochevsky, denying any contact with Joe Biden or assistance from his staff. Democrats have argued that the evidence in the document shows there is no evidence of a bribery scheme between Joe Biden and Zlochevsky. The document is likely to be a key piece of evidence in the ongoing Trump impeachment investigation.

Russian President Vladimir Putin thanked the nation for standing together in the face of a short-lived armed rebellion led by Yevgeny Prigozhin and his Wagner mercenary group. Steps were taken to "neutralize the threat" and "avoid a lot of bloodshed," and Putin thanked the government and citizens for rallying behind "the fate of the Fatherland." The rebellion ended with Prigozhin's troops retreating, and Putin emphasized that time was taken to give those who made a mistake a chance to think again and understand their actions.
Tensions in Russia remain high as Yevgeny Prigozhin, the head of the Wagner mercenary group, threatened to march to Moscow in a challenge to President Vladimir Putin's authority. Former Texas Rep.
