Attorney General Merrick Garland faced questioning from House Republicans at an oversight hearing on Wednesday, with Rep. Mike Johnson mistakenly calling him "Mr. Weiss" and pressing him on the Hunter Biden probe. Garland denied receiving any direction from the White House regarding the investigation and discussed the Justice Department's decision to drop the criminal case against Michael Flynn. The hearing is expected to last several hours as Republicans further question Garland about the Justice Department's handling of the Hunter Biden investigation and other matters.
Donald Trump has come under fire from conservatives and anti-abortion activists after he called a 15-week nationwide ban on abortion "a terrible thing and a terrible mistake" in an interview. The proposed ban has been seen as more humane than the type of universal bans with no exceptions that have long been associated with the "pro-life" movement. Trump's comments suggest he is recognizing the broad unpopularity of extreme abortion restrictions ahead of the 2024 election, but he has been vague about what abortion policy he would support as president.
President Donald Trump is attempting to appeal to blue collar workers as the United Auto Workers strike continues, by delivering a speech in Detroit on Sept. 27. The speech will be in direct competition with the Republican primary debate at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.

President Joe Biden will address the United Nations General Assembly on Tuesday to rally international support for Ukraine's effort to repel Russia's invasion. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy and House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries will host a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy during his visit to the U.S. Capitol. Biden's speech is an important step in the international community's effort to address the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, and a repudiation of the "America First" approach taken by the previous administration.
Rudy Giuliani, former attorney to President Donald Trump, is being sued for allegedly failing to pay more than $1.36 million in legal fees to the law firm of Costello and Associates.

This is the latest in a series of legal troubles for Giuliani, with the outcome of this lawsuit yet to be determined.
A new CBS News poll has found that former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden are in a tight race for the 2024 presidential election, with Biden down one point in a matchup against Trump. In response, Trump has decided to skip the second Republican presidential primary debate and instead deliver a prime-time speech to union workers in Detroit. The poll also found that Trump has a strong lead in the Republican primary race and Biden is the frontrunner among Democratic primary voters, with a majority of Americans believing the country is headed in the wrong direction.
