But Gov. Mike DeWine, a Republican, said it was his decision. “Amy Acton called off Ohio’s election at the last minute, defying a judge’s orders and abusing her power,” one Ramaswamy April campaign ad said. “Ohio can’t afford liberal Amy Acton.

The former head of the Trump administration’s investigation into COVID-19’s origins told Congress today that the CIA actively frustrated his work by withholding records, retaliating against agency personnel who cooperated with the investigation, and surveilling investigators’ computer and phone usage and contact with whistleblowers. “These were Americans being spied upon illegally while executing duties directed by the president and under the director of National Intelligence,” James Erdman III, a current CIA officer who led the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) investigation into COVID’s origins, told the Senate’s Homeland Security Committee today.
