Police are investigating the circumstances that led to a U.S. attorney being found dead inside her Virginia home Saturday.

At 9:18 a.m., police in Alexandria, Virginia, responded to reports of an unresponsive woman and found her deceased.

US President Donald Trump said his predecessor’s 11th-hour pardons of members of Congress who investigated the January 6 insurrection were “void, vacant and of no further force or effect,” signaling his administration may attempt to upend more than a century of law and practice for presidential pardons.

President Donald Trump has said that Joe Biden's 11th-hour pardons of members of Congress who investigated the January 6 attack are "void, vacant and of no further effect."

In a post on Truth Social, Trump said that the pardons issued by his predecessor are not valid because they were allegedly signed using an autopen—a device that replicates a person's signature.

Trump also warned members of the former January 6 House select committee that they would now be "subject to investigation at the highest level."

Donald Trump declared his predecessor's last-minute pardons 'void, vacant and of no further force or effect' as he warned that members of the House committee investigating the January 6 riots can now face prosecution.

Trump claimed late Sunday night that because Joe Biden used an autopen the pardons cannot be enforced and even made the stunning suggestion they were signed without the former president's knowledge. 

Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Lee Zeldin announced Wednesday that the agency will take 31 “historic actions” to roll back the Biden administration’s climate agenda in line with President Donald Trump’s executive order to “Unleash American Energy.” 

Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on Monday announced that she revoked security clearances for several prominent members of former President Joe Biden's administration, including former Secretary of State Antony Blinken.

A study published this week details the degree to which the Biden administration infused DEI policies into the federal government in a report the authors say can serve as a resource for the Trump administration to continue to identify and "destroy" the practice. 

The new study, conducted by the Functional Government Initiative and the Center for Renewing America, identified 460 programs across 24 government agencies in the Biden administration that diverted resources to DEI initiatives.
