though he is not saying much. i can confirm that i received a subpoena and i complied, but under advice of counsel, i can t really say much more than that. that was my only appearance before the grand jury. and there are also reports that second aide greg jacobs was also subpoenaed and test filed. jennifer rogers, how significant is this that two of 9 former top aides have now appeared before a grand jury? well, christine, it is significant for a couple reasons. first of all, they are really important witnesses. one was one of the live witnesses that the january 6 committee brought us and they were very close to the former vice president not testified and they know everything basically that he knows. and we know mike pence was the center of the scheme of former president trump to overturn the election, the linchpin really. so it is important for that reason. and it is also important because it means that the doj investigation is broader than we ve previously known. we k
support worth over five ilion pounds to give vulnerable people certainty that we are standing by them at this time. dwp will make the payment in time. dwp will make the payment in two lump sums, the first from july, the second in autumn, with payments from hmrc to those on tax credits followed shortly after. there is no need for people to fill out complicated forms or bureaucracy, we will send the payment straight to their bank accounts. our policy will benefit over 8 million households in receipt of means tested benefits from july. operating in that timeframe could only be done for those on universal credit and our policy will provide a larger average payment this year of £650, where as operating the same benefit by 9% would be worth only on average £530. there are two further groups who will need extra, targeted support. many pensioners are disproportionately impacted by higher energy costs. they cannot always increase their incomes through work and because they spend mor

I would point out that in a number of these states, for example, georgia North Carolina experienced after the implementation of their Reentry Program something modelled after the corrections act, they saw a 19. 3 reduction in recidivism. Other states, 10 in georgia, 9. 4 , right right. I think rather than take this as a matter of faith or perhaps expressing our hopes and best wishes, we actually have some real results we can point to that demonstrate the workability of some of these programs.
