    White House counsel Stuart Delery, President Joe Biden's top lawyer, plans to leave his post next month, the White House said on Thursday, adding no replacement had yet been named. Delery, who has been in the job since July 2022, advised the president on advancing his legislative agenda and defending against Republican-led congressional investigations. Biden in a statement called Delery a “trusted adviser and a constant source of innovative legal thinking.”

    Biden to travel to Hawaii to meet with wildfire survivors

    ReutersVerified
    · 9:39:43 AM EDT
    Maui's emergency management chief on Wednesday defended his agency's decision against sounding sirens during last week's deadly wildfire amid questions about whether doing so might have saved lives. Herman Andaya, administrator of the Maui County Emergency Management Agency, said sirens in Hawaii are used to alert people to tsunamis. Using it during the fire might have led people to evacuate toward the danger, he told reporters.

    Fitch cuts US government's AAA credit rating by one notch

    ReutersVerified
    · 5:54:44 PM EDT
    Rating agency Fitch on Tuesday downgraded the U.S. government's top credit rating, a move that drew an angry response from the White House and surprised investors, coming despite the resolution of the debt ceiling crisis two months ago. Traders' immediate response was to embark on a safe-haven push out of stocks and into government bonds and the dollar. Fitch downgraded the United States to AA+ from AAA, citing fiscal deterioration over the next three years and repeated down-the-wire debt ceiling negotiations that threaten the government’s ability to pay its bills.
