6/23: President Biden's plan to suspend the federal gas tax meets major opposition. Congress subpoenas the owner of the NFL's Washington Commanders, over allegations of a culture of sexual misconduct.

This morning's national average is $4.94 a gallon. That's actually down 7 cents from a week ago -- partly due to lower oil prices, and partly due to Americans driving less, according to AAA. The president thinks prices will drop much more if Congress suspends the federal gas tax, but he's getting serious resistance on Capitol Hill. The House Select Committee investigating the assault on the Capitol is considering important new evidence ahead of this afternoon's hearing. The embattled school police chief accused of botching the response to last month's massacre in Uvalde, Texas is now on administrative leave. A helicopter crash in West Virginia that killed all six people on board is under investigation. Ghislaine Maxwell could spend the rest of her life in prison for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse of teenage girls. The owner of the NFL's Washington Commanders has been subpoenaed for questioning by a congressional committee.
