'The [U.S.] Justice Department on Thursday informed House Republicans that President Joe Biden has formally asserted executive privilege over the audio of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur, a move that DOJ says effectively shields Attorney General Merrick Garland from any criminal exposure as the Republican lawmakers move toward trying to hold him in contempt of Congress."

ABC News reports the Justice Department has already released a full transcript of the interview. The White House believes the audio would be used for "partisan political purposes."

It can die,” French President Emmanuel Macron warned in a Paris speech, urging the European Union to become more self-sufficient in a rapidly changing world. “The era when the EU bought its energy and fertilizer from Russia, outsourced its production to China and depended on the US for its security — that era is over,” he said.
