Two members of Donald Trump’s legal team, Evan Corcoran and Lindsey Halligan, were spotted entering the Department of Justice headquarters in Washington DC late Monday morning as the agency continues its investigations into their employer and its handling of documents classified after the presidency.

Meanwhile, federal investigators involved in the investigation are reportedly turning their attention to an employee at his Mar-a-Lago residence in Palm Beach, Florida, who, while emptying a swimming pool on the property last year, has flooded a room where computer servers containing the CCTV logs were stored.

Investigators have reportedly interviewed at least one witness about the episode, but it’s not yet clear whether the server room flooding is considered suspicious or an accident.

Responding to an all-caps meltdown on Truth Social, Mr. Trump raged: HOW CAN DOJ POSSIBLY ACCUSE ME, WHO DID NOTHING WRONG, WHEN NO OTHER PRESIDENT HAS BEEN ACCUSED?

Also on Monday, his former deputy, Mike Pence, filed the necessary paperwork with the Federal Election Commission to launch his own presidential bid, which is expected to be officially announced on Wednesday.

1686032100Biden seeks to build Hispanic support ahead of 2024

Joe Biden has vowed in 2020 to work like hell to energize Hispanic voters and flew to Florida seven weeks before Election Day to do just that.

But, as he took to the podium at a Hispanic Heritage Month event near Disney World, Biden said, I only have one thing to say, and used his phone to play a part in Despacito.

It was meant to salute the singer of the reggaeton hit, Luis Fonsi, who introduced it.

But the gesture sparked an online backlash from some Hispanics who saw it as a game to belittle stereotypes, proof that while awareness is important, not setting the right tone can undermine it.

The details really matter to people because it respects their origins, respects their history, respects their culture, said Grecia Lima, national policy director of the progressive activist group Community Change Action.

President Biden isn’t the first politician to strike a sour note by trying to connect across cultural boundaries, but the backlash he’s encountered illustrates a bigger challenge he faces while seeking a second term.
