The Hill reports:

Rep. Susan Wild (Pa.), the top Democrat on the House Ethics Committee, was absent from the panel’s meeting last week after being traced as the source of leaks to the press regarding the investigation into former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), sources told The Hill.

It remains unclear if Wild voluntarily skipped the Thursday gathering or was asked not to attend, what information she leaked and to whom, and how the panel tracked her back as being the leaker. Two sources said Wild ultimately acknowledged to the panel that she had leaked information. ...

White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre was questioned why Joe Biden reversed himself and gave a pardon to his son Hunter after insisting over and over that he would let the process be handled within the justice system.  Of course, there is no real justification.  However, KJP needs to lay the foundation for future “preemptive pardons” before Biden leaves office.

Jen Psaki is someone that we all remember.  Psaki was the White House Press Secretary before she left to her gig on MSNBC.  As press secretaries go, Psaki was light years more qualified than the current occupant of the job.  With Joe Biden pardoning his son Hunter of any and all possible federal crimes between 2014 and now, some of Psaki’s statements have come back to haunt her.
