Gov. Asa Hutchinson on 2024: "Trump has disqualified himself"
CBSN
Republican Gov. Asa Hutchinson of Arkansas continued to vocalize his support of the House select committee investigating the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol attack. He told CBS Mornings that what the country witnessed on Jan. 6 was a threat to democracy and took former President Donald Trump to task.
"That was a threat to our institutions of government. And that's not the behavior we want to see in a responsible president. I think the question for the January 6th committee is, one, you get facts out to the public, which is important to know. Secondly, they're trying to make a case that there's criminal conduct on behalf of the president. I question whether they have made that case. I don't believe they have," Hutchinson said.
He said while the testimony is important, he isn't sure if there's enough evidence for the Department of Justice to indict Trump, but he was clear that he is not supporting the former president if he launches a 2024 reelection bid.
The Consumer Federal Protection Bureau last week launched an inquiry into what the agency is calling "junk fees in mortgage closing costs." These additional fees, involving home appraisal, title insurance and other services, have spiked in recent years and can add thousands of dollars to the final cost of buying a home.

William Anders, the former Apollo 8 astronaut who took the iconic "Earthrise" photo showing the planet as a shadowed blue marble from space in 1968, was killed Friday when the plane he was piloting alone plummeted into the waters off the San Juan Islands in Washington state. He was 90.
