An upside-down American flag was displayed outside the home of Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito in January 2021, The New York Times reports. It's a symbol associated with former President Donald Trump’s false claims of election fraud. The Times reported Thursday that it was seen flying on Jan. 17, 2021, days after Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021. The newspaper published a photo it obtained of the flag. Dozens of the rioters were carrying similarly inverted flags while chanting slogans like “Stop the Steal.” The report comes as the high court considers two major cases related to the attack, including charges faced by the rioters and whether Trump has immunity from prosecution on election interference charges.

The White House has blocked the release of the audio, arguing Republicans in Congress only want the recordings “to chop them up” and use them for political purposes as the Democratic president seeks reelection. Hours later, the House Judiciary Committee voted to move forward with an effort to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for not releasing the audio. A similar vote is scheduled for later Thursday with the House oversight committee.  But the timing of any vote by the full House, and the willingness of the U.S. attorney’s office to act on the referral, remain uncertain. A transcript of the interview shows Biden struggling to recall some dates and occasionally confusing some details but having deep recall in other areas.
