NEW YORK (AP) — President Joe Biden said Friday that he is willing to debate his presumptive Republican opponent, Donald Trump, later this fall – his most definitive comment yet on the issue.
The Justice Department said Thursday it will not produce subpoenaed audio recordings of former Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Biden to House Republicans, maintaining that its "cooperation" with the congressional investigation has been "extraordinary."
Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone still vividly remember their rabid rivalry.
A witness who spoke to federal investigators about Donald Trump was so afraid of repercussions for cooperating with the FBI that he asked agents not to record his voluntary interview.
For Punjab Chief Minister and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) leader Bhagwant Singh Mann, the Lok Sabha elections are doubly important. Firstly, he believes they are a litmus test for the future of democracy in the country. And, secondly, he thinks it would be a reality check for his two-year-old government. In a freewheeling interview with The Indian Express, CM Mann speaks on a range of issues, including the AAP’s plans to overcome the arrest of party supremo and Delhi CM Arvind Kejriwal and the Opposition INDIA bloc’s face-off with the BJP. Excerpts:
Maharashtra is a critical piece of the election puzzle this time — since the last Lok Sabha election of 2019, the traditional “communal vs secular” battlelines have been rearranged beyond recognition, after Shiv Sena and NCP splintered, and both government and Opposition were reconstituted.

Excerpts from an interview:
Union minister and BJP leader Giriraj Singh is again contesting from his Begusarai Lok Sabha constituency, which will go to polls in the fourth phase on May 13. Giriraj, who had trounced the then CPI’s nominee Kanhaiya Kumar in the 2019 polls, is now taking on the CPI’s INDIA bloc candidate Awadesh Kumar Rai. In an interview with The Indian Express, he speaks on a range of issues including the induction of turncoats into the BJP and the fish row between PM Narendra Modi and the Opposition leaders.
