The former assistant director of intelligence for the U.S. Capitol Police, who issued a stark warning about the threat of extremist violence days before the Jan. 6 attack, expects to be called to testify before a House subcommittee led by Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA) that is focused on shifting blame away from former President Donald Trump.

Julie Farnam told Raw Story she expects “to get a subpoena any day now,” and anticipates that she will be called to testify behind closed doors before Republican members of the House Administration Oversight Subcommittee on June 21.

Farnam said she received an email from subcommittee staff today telling her to expect a subpoena following discussions with her lawyer about scheduling her deposition....

Washington (AFP) - Former US surgeon general Jerome Adams was stuck with an eye-watering medical bill of nearly $5,000 after being treated for a simple case of dehydration following an overnight stay at an Arizona hospital last January.  Now he's calling for reforms to the country's market-based health care system, including greater transparency around costs and an independent arbitration process -- while using his bully pulpit to speak out for the 100 million Americans saddled with medical debt.

The former president swiftly deleted and reposted the comment with the word "pole" corrected to "poll" — but it was too late. Trump's flub, which comes as he is under increasing scrutiny for his moments of apparent diminished mental capacity, triggered an avalanche of mockery on high-profile social media users.

Georgetown law school professor Paul Butler’s appearance on MSNBC’s “The ReidOut with Joy Reid” followed a review of transcripts from the memos that in Butler's view indicate the former president was aware of wrongdoing.
