House Oversight chair vows to hold hearings on Biden's handling of documents


Rep. James Comer of Kentucky, the new House Oversight Committee chair, vowed Thursday to hold hearings on President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents.


When asked about timing, he said as soon as “we can get everything in place. We requested a lot of information. As soon as that comes in.”


Comer also told reporters that he “is not a fan” of special counsels, in part because he doesn’t have confidence in whoever Attorney General Merrick Garland might appoint, and thinks his committee can be “more effective.”


But, he added: “The fact that they called for special counsel for Trump's handling of classified documents, I don't see how they can not appoint a special counsel” for Biden.


Comer said he has not yet heard back from the National Archives after sending them a letter requesting more information, which he called “concerning.”


The top Republican on the House Armed Services Committee is also asking whether Defense Department officials have been contacted to cooperate with the US Attorney’s review of the classified documents found at Biden’s former private office and home in Wilmington, Delaware. 


Rep. Mike Rogers, who is the incoming chair of the committee, also asked if Ronald Moultrie, under secretary of Defense for Intelligence and Security, and William Lietzau, director of the Defense Counterintelligence and Security Agency, are conducting their own investigation.

Takeuchi Yuko Death Remains a Mystery for Japan

The death of Japanese actress Takeuchi Yuko by an apparent suicide on Sunday has prompted an outpouring of grief and reflection from both ordinary fans and industry insiders. Age 40 at the time of her death, Takeuchi had been the top of her profession for two decades, appearing in a steady stream of films, TV dramas and, that all-important barometer of popularity in the local entertainment world, TV commercials. The latest in a procession of prominent Japanese talents to take their own lives, including actor Miura Haruma and actress Ashina Sei, Takeuchi was arguably the biggest name and her death is causing the biggest shock waves. After rising to stardom in the 1999 NHK morning drama “Asuka” as a teenager, Takeuchi stayed in high demand, with her sunny smile and glowing face seen on everything from film posters and magazine covers to beer ads. “I’m truly shocked,” said one commentator on a TV Asahi news story. “I loved her beautiful appearance and absorbing performances; she was the v

Keiko Kitagawa is once again the face that Japanese women want to have

In a survey held by Oricon Japan last month, some 500 Japanese females aged 10 to 50-plus chose the face of the Japanese female celebrity that they want to have the most. Topping the ranking is actress Keiko Kitagawa, who was also the first in last year’s ranking. Here are the top 10 Japanese celebrities whose beauty is most envied among women in Japan. This consecutive win not only marks Kitagawa’s sixth No. 1 place in this ranking that has been running for the 14th time, it is also the first time since 2009 when an actress who is also a mum topped the ranking. That winner 11 years ago was none other than Nanako Matsushima, who is known for starring in the 1998 horror film Ring. Although Kitagawa had just given birth to a girl last September, her beauty remains dazzling as she attended a movie promotion event earlier this month, after her maternity leave. The survey participants have described her looks as “perfect” and “gorgeous”, and even wanted to “live a day with this face”. Had
