Fine, Patronis win Republican primaries | Florida
SUMMARY: In recent Republican primaries, two candidates endorsed by Donald Trump achieved decisive wins. Florida Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Patronis secured 65.74% of the vote in the 1st Congressional District, while Sen. Randy Fine received 83.02% in the 6th Congressional District, where he will face Democrat Josh Weill in the general election. Weill won his primary with 60.76% of the votes. Patronis will run unopposed due to no Democratic challenger entering the race in his district, which Trump won overwhelmingly. Patronis replaces former Rep. Matt Gaetz, who stepped down after being nominated for attorney general.

Justice Department seeks to restrict testimony of fired pardon attorney
SUMMARY: The Justice Department is invoking executive privilege to prevent Liz Oyer, a recently fired pardon attorney, from discussing her termination with Congress. Oyer was dismissed after refusing a request to recommend restoring actor Mel Gibson’s gun rights. She is set to testify before a joint congressional hearing, which will include other former Justice Department officials expressing concerns about the agency’s leadership. The department warned Oyer that discussing the pardon process could violate executive privilege and dispatched armed deputy marshals to deliver this warning, an action described by her lawyer as unprecedented and inappropriate.
