    The News Around Us Jan 31 2021 Biden Sasses Fox News' Peter Doocy Over Question About Putin Lindsey Ellefson TheWrap Joe Biden peter Doocy President Joe Biden got sassy with Fox News' Peter Doocy Tuesday when the White House correspondent asked him about a recent call with Russian president Vladimir Putin. "Mr. President," called out Doocy, who covered Biden during the 2020 presidential campaign. "What did you talk to Vladimir Putin about?" Biden quipped, "You. He sends his best!" Other assembled journalists laughed as Biden put on his face mask and exited the briefing. The moment came one day after Biden called on Doocy during a different briefing, saying, "I know he always asks me tough questions and he always has an edge to them, but I like him anyway, so go ahead and ask the question." Amid a series of staffing and scheduling shakeups, Fox News announced earlier this month that White House correspondent John Roberts would be leaving the West Wing to host his own hour-long program on the cable network. Doocy was announced as the channel's new White House correspondent shortly thereafter. He joins colleague Kristin Fisher in the briefing room. Prior to covering Biden's campaign for Fox News, Doocy worked on coverage of the Democratic primary field. He first joined Fox News as a general assignment reporter in 2009 just after graduating from Villanova University. An equitable distribution of COVID-19 vaccine must include noncitizens Rep. Raúl M.

  • Trump: Discussing a Biden Probe with Barr Would Be 'Appropriate' - POLITICO
    1/2/2020 Trump: Discussing a Biden probe with Barr would be 'appropriate' - POLITICO Vice President Joe Biden's connections to Ukraine have become a subject of deep interest among the president’s political allies. | Ethan Miller/Getty Images 2020 ELECTIONS Trump: Discussing a Biden probe with Barr would be 'appropriate' Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal attorney, is urging Ukraine to investigate Joe Biden, raising questions about whether Donald Trump would pressure his attorney general to do the same. By ELIANA JOHNSON, DARREN SAMUELSOHN, ANDREW RESTUCCIA and DANIEL LIPPMAN | 05/10/2019 08:01 PM EDT | Updated 05/11/2019 12:32 AM EDT President Donald Trump told POLITICO on Friday that it would be “appropriate” for him to speak to Attorney General Bill Barr about launching an investigation into his potential 2020 rival, Joe Biden, or his son, Hunter. The question of whether Trump could pressure Barr to probe Biden is coming under scrutiny after Rudy Giuliani, the president’s personal attorney, said he would be traveling to Ukraine to urge the incoming government there to look at Hunter Biden’s involvement with a Ukrainian energy company that has reportedly been in prosecutors’ crosshairs. The efforts appear to be part of a broader campaign by Trump’s allies to damage the former Democratic vice president’s White House campaign and have raised questions about whether Trump’s team is trying to enlist a foreign government to aid the president’s re-election bid. https://www.politico.com/story/2019/05/10/trump-biden-ukraine-barr-1317601 1/4 1/2/2020 Trump: Discussing a Biden probe with Barr would be 'appropriate' - POLITICO “Certainly it would be an appropriate thing to speak to him about, but I have not done that as of yet.

JOHN TLUMACKI/GLOBE STAFF Concerned that too many students are attempting to learn from home, Governor Charlie Baker on Friday made his biggest push yet for schools to reopen classrooms — even in communities like Boston where coronavirus cases have been surging — issuing a new set of rules that strongly discourages remote learning. In making the announcement, Baker upended previous state guidance that had urged school districts to shift learning online if coronavirus positivity rates put communities at high risk for widespread transmission. Now, under the new state rules, districts should close schools or classrooms only as a “last resort” — when there is evidence of transmission or in communities where COVID-19 positivity rates are exceptionally high. Only Chelsea, Lawrence, and Revere, have positivity rates that are high enough to rely exclusively on remote learning, according to state officials. Currently, more than half of the state’s 950,000 public school students are doing all their learning from home, while many of the remaining students are receiving instruction at home part time.
