(Awake now?)\xa0\nThat\u2019s the takeaway from WSJ\u2019s Alex Leary, Aruna Viswanatha and Sadie Gurman, who retell the tale of the Mar-a-Lago records caper with important new details.\nSecond: The second story worthy of your time is Michael Scherer, Ashley Parker and Tyler Pager\u2019s account of recent meetings between Joe Biden and a circle of policy, political and academic experts from outside the administration.
