President Joe Biden is facing a new dismal approval rating poll released by CNN as his first interview with a major news outlet in 2022 is set to air on Sunday.
Mr Biden faces disapproval from 6 in 10 Americans, according to CNN, and the percentage of respondents who approved of his performance as president has dropped 12 points in less than a year.
Meanwhile it has emerged that the committee investigating the 6 January insurrection at the US Capitol has identified gaps in the White House call logs from the day of the riot, posing another obstacle to establishing what Mr Trump said and did in the hours before and during the event. According to the New York Times, there is no evidence the records were deliberately deleted, but it is well known that Mr Trump frequently used his own and others’ cellphones to talk to his allies while in office.
And as the saga of the Trump administration documents wrongly taken to Mar-a-Lago continues to deepen, a new book from the New York Times’s Maggie Haberman has reported that Donald Trump himself clogged a White House toilet with torn-up documents that should have been preserved.
