Hunter Biden has filed a motion in federal court to subpoena former President Donald Trump, former Attorney General William Barr and other former Justice Department officials for documents and materials related to his ongoing criminal prosecution. The motion seeks to prove that the prosecution is politically motivated and vindictive, and requests any and all records or documents related to his investigation dating back to 2017. The court has yet to rule on the motion, and the Justice Department has yet to respond.

On Wednesday, U.S. President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet in San Francisco for the first time in over a year. This meeting comes as tensions between the two countries have been rising, and the Biden administration hopes to use it to resume dialogue and manage the relationship between the two countries. The two leaders will discuss a range of issues, including trade, technology, human rights, and other issues, and the outcome of the meeting will determine the future of the U.S.-China relationship.
Pro-Palestinian activists and voters are withholding their support from President Biden for not doing enough to protect civilians in Gaza from Israel's deadly bombardment, potentially leading to a president who has no interest in protecting Palestinians. Former President Trump and those running against him have not mentioned the thousands of residents of Gaza killed in Israeli attacks, and the situation is dire with over 11,000 people killed and 1.6 million displaced. Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu has mentioned a potential hostage deal with Hamas, but has not given any further details.
President Joe Biden and Chinese President Xi Jinping will meet next Wednesday in the San Francisco Bay area for a summit of Pacific Rim nations. The two leaders will discuss a range of issues in the U.S.-People's Republic of China bilateral relationship, including trade, human rights, and the South China Sea. The summit will be closely watched as it will be the first meeting between the two leaders since President Biden took office and the first since increased tensions between the U.S. and China began.
At the Republican presidential debate in Miami on Wednesday, candidates expressed their full support for Israel's military campaign against Hamas and downplayed the rise in anti-Muslim sentiment in the US. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) criticized President Joe Biden for his initiative to combat what he called “so-called Islamophobia”, while the other candidates called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “finish the job once and for all with these butchers”. The debate reflects the Republican Party’s strong support for Israel and its hardline stance on Iran, as well as its reluctance to address the issue of anti-Muslim sentiment in the US.
Democrats had a successful night in the off-year elections on Tuesday, winning critical races in Virginia, Pennsylvania, and Kentucky. The abortion referendum and pot legalization referendum both won in Ohio, and Democrats saw over-performance against 2020, current polls, and expectations. The elections also showed that the war in Israel and other hot-button national issues had a smaller impact on the results than expected, suggesting that voters are looking beyond these issues when making their decisions.
The House Oversight Committee has issued three subpoenas as part of their impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden, calling for his son, brother, and associate to appear for depositions. In addition, the committee has requested transcribed interviews with five other Biden family associates. The decision to interview special counsel David Weiss privately likely reflects the challenges Republicans face in arguing that the Justice Department has shown favoritism to the president’s son. The inquiry is ongoing, and the outcome remains to be seen.
