This week in politics: Biden’s document scandal, House GOP launch investigations
The week began with news of violence in Brazil, an attempted uprising that echoed America’s own Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection. An uprising in the capital of Brasilia Sunday came in response to false claims of election fraud by former President Jair Bolsonaro.Â
