Judge clears the way for release of special counsel Smith’s report on Trump’s 2020 election case
SUMMARY: A federal judge ruled that the Justice Department can publicly release special counsel Jack Smith’s report on Donald Trump’s alleged 2020 election interference, though a temporary injunction barring immediate release remains in effect. U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon, who previously blocked the report’s release, scheduled a hearing to determine if a separate volume regarding Trump hoarding classified documents can be shared with lawmakers. Trump’s co-defendants argue that releasing the report could prejudice their ongoing criminal proceedings. Smith recently resigned after submitting the report, raising concerns about the political implications of the Justice Department’s actions.

Prosecutor who investigated Hunter Biden defends probes, denounces president’s remarks in new report
SUMMARY: The special counsel report by David Weiss defends the criminal investigations and convictions against Hunter Biden, asserting they were impartial and not influenced by partisan politics. Weiss criticized President Joe Biden’s statements during his son’s pardon, claiming they undermined public confidence in the Justice Department. The report emphasizes that Hunter knowingly lied on a gun purchase form while using drugs and failed to pay $1.4 million in taxes. Hunter’s legal team condemned the report, alleging prosecutorial abuse and political pressure, but Weiss countered that the prosecution exemplified equal justice under the law, regardless of one’s connections.

What is virga? The weather phenomenon explained
SUMMARY: Verga is a meteorological phenomenon where rain falls from clouds but evaporates before reaching the ground. Earlier today, radar detected light showers in areas like the Low Country and Grand Strand, yet no actual rainfall was measured. Verga occurs when precipitation descends from a cloud base through a moist layer of air, but encounters a dry layer just above the surface, causing it to evaporate. This results in visible streaks or wispy tails beneath the cloud base, indicating rain is falling, but not reaching the ground. Meteorologist Jenna Warner explains this phenomenon’s formation and visibility.
Have you ever looked at a radar and noticed showers, but you don’t feel or see any rain?
This was exactly what occurred for parts of Monday, Jan. 13 as radar sites in Columbia and Wilmington showed spotty, light showers in the Low Country, the Pee Dee and the Grand Strand. While the radar looked like it was raining for some communities, those communities didn’t measure any rainfall at the surface.
