the breakdown <\/h2>\n

1. Rudy Giuliani is now a target in the Fulton County probe.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The news came less than two days before his scheduled testimony. Senator Lindsey Graham’s appeal not to testify in District Attorney Fani Willis’ investigation into Donald Trump’s role in the 2020 election has been denied. Tamar Hallerman says the investigation becomes more combative as Willis closes in on former President Trump’s allies.<\/p>\n

3. New support around the idea of \u200b\u200bexpanding Medicaid. <\/strong><\/p>\n

4. Herschel Walker defends himself from an attack ad. <\/strong><\/p>\n

In a Wall Street Journal<\/a> op-ed, the Senate candidate defends himself as he addresses an attack ad where his wife talks about him holding a gun to his head. The excerpt from the attack ad comes from an interview where they both talk about their mental illness. Walker also discussed her mental health in her book. <\/p>\n
