The January 6 committee has descried chilling new details at the most recent hearing about the effort to protect then-Vice President Mike Pence as rioters entered the Capitol

In the presentation, part of which you just saw, the committee showed how close Pence was to the mob, noting at one point there was only “40 feet between the Vice President” and the rioters.

At 2:24 pm, the Secret Service had moved Pence from the Senate chamber to his office across the hall… when former President Trump tweeted: QUOTE: “Mike Pence didn’t have the courage to do what should have been done to protect our country and our Constitution.”

The committee says “30 seconds later opened the East door just down the hall, and just 30 seconds after that rioters breached the crypt, one floor below the Vice President.”

At 2:26 pm, Secret Service rush Vice President Pence down the stairs… to a secure location.

Following the display of the exhibit, committee member Pete Aguilar added approximately 40 feet was all there was between the Vice President and the mob.

Charlie Kirk united GOP grassroots through social media and activism, but his death raises questions about future leadership.

Charlie Kirk transformed the Republican grassroots movement by fusing social media reach with in-person activism, turning Turning Point USA into a cultural and political force.

His bold campus debates, viral online presence, and close alliance with Donald Trump energised young conservatives and boosted GOP turnout.

With his assassination, questions now loom over who can continue his unique blend of digital influence and grassroots organising.

Dollar steady ahead of Fed’s expected rate cut decision on Wednesday

In Short:
– The U.S. dollar stayed stable as investors await the Federal Reserve’s interest rate cut announcement.
– Asian equities rose, with the MSCI Asia Pacific Index hitting a record high amid U.S. market gains.

The U.S. dollar remained stable on Monday as investors await the Federal Reserve’s upcoming policy meeting, where the central bank is expected to announce its first interest rate cut in nine months.

Trading volumes were low due to a holiday in Japan, causing currencies to remain rangebound.

Market participants have largely priced in a 25 basis point reduction in the federal funds rate, anticipated to bring the key rate to between 4.00%-4.25%.

This marks the first easing action since December 2024.

Recent economic data indicates a cooling labour market, with jobless claims rising to the highest levels since 2021, overshadowing inflation concerns.
