Biden Vetoes Republican-Led Bill On ESGs
President Joe Biden vetoed the first bill of his presidency on Monday, halting a Republican-led effort to overturn a federal rule allowing retirement plan advisers to take environmental, social and corporate governance (ESG) factors into account. “I just signed this veto because the legislation passed by the Congress would put at risk the retirement savings of individuals across the country. They couldn’t take into consideration investments that would be impacted by climate, impacted by overpaying executives. And that’s why I decided to veto it. It makes sense to veto it,” Biden said in a video. I just vetoed my first bill. This bill would risk your retirement savings by making it illegal to consider risk factors MAGA House Republicans don’t like.

Trump Tries To Block Georgia Election Investigation As Criminal Charges Loom
Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Topline Former President Donald Trump asked a state court Monday to throw out all evidence from a grand jury investigation in Georgia over the 2020 election and block investigators from continuing their probe, a last-minute effort to thwart the investigation into whether Trump illegally tried to overturn the election as the ex-president faces potentially imminent criminal charges.
