Supreme Court vacancy adds new twist to first presidential debate on Sept. 29
A deadly pandemic – the worst in a century; an economic downturn – the most disastrous in decades; an often violent summer of nationwide protests over racial inequity And now, the most bitterly partisan of all political battles – a Supreme Court nomination fight – has been added to the toxic mix with just a month and a half to go until Election Day – and with the first presidential debate between Democratic nominee Joe Biden and President Trump – hosted by Fox News' Chris Wallace - just one week away. "The Supreme Court vacancy will undoubtedly be a key topic of the debate next week," Trump re-election campaign communications director Tim Murtaugh told Fox News. There's no argument there from seasoned political strategists from both sides of the aisle. Longtime Republican strategist Colin Reed agreed, emphasizing "there's 90 minutes to debate and they have a whole host of issues to cover but all of a sudden the Supreme Court fight is going to be front and center."

The letter, which was signed by Assistant Attorney General Stephen E. Boyd, said that committee members spent most of Barr's July 28 appearance at an oversight hearing to scold and insult the country's top prosecutor.
