Deep dives
House Speaker Kevin McCarthy voted out
In a 216 to 210 vote, the GOP-controlled house voted to remove House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his position. Eight Republicans joined with Democrats in this historic move. McCarthy had faced criticism from GOP Florida Congressman Matt Gates for not living up to his promises, which led to the motion to vacate the Speaker's chair. This marks the first time in U.S. history that a Speaker of the House has been voted out of office.
Hunter Biden pleads not guilty to gun charges
Hunter Biden, son of President Biden, pleaded not guilty to three felony gun charges in a federal courthouse in Delaware. The charges relate to his purchase of a cult Cobra revolver in 2018. If convicted, Biden could face up to 25 years in prison and significant fines. Despite the plea, the judge outlined the terms of his release, including supervision, seeking employment, and abstaining from drugs or alcohol. Biden's prosecution comes after a collapsed plea deal, raising concerns about immunity.
