🚨 NEW: President @JoeBiden has reportedly sold his presidential memoir to Hachette for a $10 million advance, per Wall Street Journal. Not bad for a guy they said was “finished.” Congrats, 46.

A spokesperson for @RepFrenchHill tells me House Republicans have sent the Fed a request for a briefing on its renovation. ICYMI, we scooped Meuser's desire for a probe on Tuesday: semafor.com/article/07/22/… Plus how Hill has "encouraged him to proceed": x.com/Eleanor_Muelle…
