Politico and AP are reporting that Joe Biden has found his attorney general. Biden will nominate Judge Merrick Garland as his attorney general. Garland has been a judge on the US Court of Appeals in Washington, DC, since 1997. He began his legal career at the Justice Department under President Jimmy Carter in the 1970s. In March 2016 Pres. Barack Obama nominated him to succeed Antonin Scalia to the Supreme court. His nomination was scuttled after Republicans stonewalled it.
President Donald Trump has still refused to concede to President-elect Joe Biden. Trump is reportedly planning a rally on Biden's inauguration day. Biden has said that Trump should go to his inauguration to demonstrate a peaceful transfer of power. He then added that Trump's presence was "of no personal consequence to me." They are far from the first American presidents and presidents-to-be not to see eye to eye. However, many Americans are curious to see how inauguration day will look with the drama involved.
Former U.S. president Jimmy Carter will treat his melanoma with pharmaceutical company Merck & CO’s Keytruda, a new treatment that stimulates a patient’s immune system so that it can fight cancer on its own, Reuters reported.
Barbara Res is a real estate executive who once worked for now-President Donald Trump, overseeing construction and development for the Trump Organization. Res says Trump refused to listen to expert advice, hired unqualified people based on their loyalty to him, disrespected his employees, and used racist language. According to Business Insider, Res says Trump once complained to her about seeing a Black construction laborer working on one of his Trump Tower buildings. Res says Trump told her, 'I don't want people thinking Trump Towers are being built by Black people.' She added that Trump also said he didn't want Black people lounging in his building lobbies, because 'millionaires are coming into my apartments.'
