US Attorney General William Barr did not want the Department of Justice to reveal it was investigating Hunter Biden before the 2020 presidential election. According to Business Insider, Barr went to great lengths to prevent prosecutors and senior DOJ officials from disclosing it was probing Hunter Biden's taxes. There were at least two separate investigations into Biden's finances, one in the Delaware US attorney's office and another in the Manhattan US attorney's office. The latter initially started off as a money-laundering probe but has since fizzled out because of a lack of evidence. The revelation by the Wall Street Journal adds to a growing list of frustrations President Donald Trump has with Barr. In fact, it may be the final straw for Trump, who may fire the attorney general weeks before leaving office.
Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump renewed his call for so-called "stop and frisk" policies, a tactic rival Hillary Clinton said was "unconstitutional." Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
Donald Trump leaves the New York courthouse after prosecutors accused him of brazenly and repeatedly violating a gag order imposed by the judge presiding over his "hush money" trial to prevent him from intimidating witnesses. Trump, 77, the first former US president to face criminal charges, is accused of falsifying business records to buy the silence of porn star Stormy Daniels over a 2006 sexual encounter that could have damaged his 2016 presidential bid.

The man who set himself on fire outside the court where Donald Trump is standing trial is in "critical condition" at a burn center in New York, authorities tell reporters. "Civilians, officers, members of the police department, they run into the park, they make efforts to put him out. They use their coats, they use fire extinguishers. Eventually, FPNY (New York Fire Patrol) respond, (they) were able to extinguish the fire," Chief Maddrey tells a press conference on the scene, outside the court where Donald Trump is standing trial.
