The Washington Post is walking back claims that former President Trump told Georgia's elections investigator to, quote, "find the fraud." It issued a correction on March 11 to a story it published in January. It said the original story about the call included quotes that didn’t exist in the audio recording. In his lengthy response, Trump said he appreciated the correction but he'd also appreciate further investigation into Fulton County.

The fence surrounding the Capitol Building is set to come down soon. The senate Sergeant at arms saying there is no credible threat that warrants using it any longer. The fence has drawn controversy for weeks from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

This comes after Carlson said Biden's diversifying the U.S. military with "maternity flight suits." He added, "Pregnant women are going to fight our wars. It’s a mockery of the U.S. military.”
