## Resource

Jon Herold comes in Thursday with a show that touches his own legal situation more than usual. The DOJ just opened a criminal perjury investigation into E. Jean Carroll after revelations that she denied receiving outside funding while Reid Hoffman was secretly covering her legal fees. Jon sees it as a template for what should happen when people fabricate cases for money and attention, and notes he has a slam dunk case of his own he is now likely to pursue. Jill Biden's Atlantic book tour produced a gem: she claims she never saw Joe like that before or since the debate, floats the possibility he accidentally took codeine, and reveals his own advisers blocked a cognitive test. Jon connects it directly to Biden suing the DOJ to stop the Robert Hur audio from dropping on June 15. John Solomon dropped a clip predicting Tulsi Gabbard will release extraordinary 2020 election interference evidence before she leaves, and Jon gives it cautious credit while asking the same timing question he has been asking for two weeks. Trump's mail-in voting executive order got through a federal judge the same day Gavin Newsom signed a law blocking law enforcement from touching ballots, then threatened to tax Carroll fund recipients at 100%. Former CIA officer David Rush was charged after the FBI found 300 gold bars and $40 million in cash in his Virginia home.
