The details of the plan are in flux and it is not clear whether President Donald Trump and his advisers have made a final decision to make the audio public.
Bidenโs camp is girding for the possible release, said two people familiar with the former presidentโs preparations and granted anonymity to speak freely.
A deadline of sorts is approaching on May 20: In separate Freedom of Information Act lawsuits brought by conservative groups like Judicial Watch and the Heritage Foundation and various news organizations, the Justice Department has been ordered by a judge to say whether it will stand by Bidenโs assertion of executive privilege to block the release of the tapes. Last May, Biden and his Justice Department claimed releasing the tapes would have a chilling effect on witnesses cooperating in high-profile investigations.

Ukraine is starting to consider a shift away from the U.S. dollar, possibly linking its currency more closely to the euro amid the splintering of global trade and its growing ties to Europe, Central Bank Governor Andriy Pyshnyi told Reuters.
Potential accession to the European Union, a "strengthening of the EU's role in ensuring our defence capabilities, greater volatility in global markets, and the probability of global-trade fragmentation," are forcing the central bank to review whether the euro should be the reference currency for Ukraine's hryvnia instead of the dollar, Pyshnyi said in emailed remarks.

The dollar dominates international trade and accounts for the majority of global reserves, opens new tab. Major economies including Saudi Arabia and Hong Kong peg their currencies to the dollar.
But under President Donald Trump, the U.S. has unleashed a trade war by introducing what could be the highest tariffs in a century, a move that has prompted some observers to question the future role of the dollar as global reserve currency.
Now in the fourth year of fighting an invasion by Russia, Ukraine also saw Trump temporarily cut off some military assistance to the country.

๐ฅThe Federal Bureau of Investigation and US Attorneyโs Office in Albany have launched a criminal investigation into mortgage fraud claims against New York Attorney General Letitia James, a source familiar with the probe told The Post.
The investigation, first reported by the Times Union, follows a federal criminal referral sent by Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) Director William Pulte to the Justice Department earlier this month.
Pulteโs letter alleges James โfalsified recordsโ to obtain favorable home loans on a home she purchased in 2023 in Virginia and a Brooklyn brownstone sheโs owned since 2001.
The allegations further detail James indicated the Virginia home would be her โprincipal residenceโ while acting as New Yorkโs top cop, and that she misrepresented the number of units in her Brooklyn residence.

BREAKING: President Donald Trump's administration asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to intervene in its bid to revoke the temporary legal status granted by his predecessor Joe Biden to hundreds of thousands of Venezuelan, Cuban, Haitian and Nicaraguan migrants living in the United States.
The Justice Department requested that the justices put on hold Boston-based U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani's order halting the administration's move to terminate the immigration "parole" granted to the migrants under Biden. The move is part of Trump's hardline approach to immigration.

What Has Robert Prevost Said About LGBT Issues?
It appears Prevost does not align with Pope Francis when it comes to the LGBT community.
The New York Times reported that back in 2012, he indicated that pop culture created "sympathy for beliefs and practices that are at odds with the gospel." In the speech to bishops, he referenced the "homosexual lifestyle" and "alternative families comprised of same-sex partners and their adopted children."
What has Robert Prevost Said About Immigration?
Prevost's experience as a bishop in Peru had him work with immigrants. Per the New York Times, he was praised in the country for efforts to support Venezuelan immigrants.
Newsweek could not confirm details of Prevost's position on the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. However, Prevost is a longstanding ally of the late Pope Francis, who repeatedly called for peace.

17 Days since Pope Francis died.
89 votes needed to elect the new Pope (8+9=17).
May 8th is the day of the feast of the apparition of St. Michael.
Speaking of St. Michael - The name Cardinal Prevost chose, Pope Leo XIV.
Pope Leo XIII was the Pope that wrote the St. Michael prayer which Q posted.
He is also the first American Pope.
Yes - I am aware of his posts regarding BLM, Covid and Immigration.
But was he playing the game? Was he doing that to better his chances of being elected? We donโt know.
I do not know what kind of fruit this Pope will bear, but I choose the wait and see approach. Too many โcoincidencesโ for me to ignore.
