On Friday, the Supreme Court struck down President Biden's plan to erase more than $400 billion in federal student loan debt. The high court also ruled in favor of a graphic designer who said she wants to make wedding websites but not for gay couples.    In a newly obtained audio recording, Donald Trump appears to discuss a sensitive military document and acknowledges he did not declassify it when he was president, consistent with a partial transcript federal prosecutors included in his indictment this month. On Wednesday, Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was interviewed by investigators from special counsel Jack Smith's office Wednesday in Atlanta. Rudy Giuliani was also interviewed last week by federal prosecutors investigating Trump's efforts to overturn the 2020 election but is reported to have done so voluntarily under a proffer agreement.   Missed something?
