Top Biden economic adviser Cecilia Rouse leaving after midterm elections
CBSN
A key member of President Joe Biden's economic team, Cecilia Rouse, will leave his administration in the spring, a White House official said Friday.
Rouse took academic leave from Princeton University to serve as chair of Biden's Council of Economic Advisers, and she plans to return to the university. The official was not authorized to publicly discuss personnel changes and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
The pending departure comes after the midterm elections and as Mr. Biden's term reaches its halfway point, often a time of transition for any presidential administration.
As former President Donald Trump's historic criminal trial gets underway in New York this week, the CBS News Confirmed team has been tracking potentially misleading narratives that have gained some traction on social media. Here are three of the viral claims that have emerged during the trial so far and what to know about them. Regarding counsel's request that the Court adjourn on Friday, May 17th for Mr. Trump to attend his son's high school graduation and Friday June 3rd to allow a member of the defense team to attend their son's graduation, I cannot rule on those two requests at this time. It really depends on how we are doing on time and where we are in the trial. If everything is going according to schedule without unnecessary delays, then I am sure we will be able to adjourn for one or both of those days, but if we are running behind schedule, we will not be able to.
