Firearms manufacturer Remington has delayed its planned Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing for a second time, now extending the deadline from tomorrow to Sunday.

Details: The original postponement came earlier in the month, when Remington also said that Ankura Trust had replaced BofA Merrill Lynch as the restructuring's term loan agent. It is unclear if the agent change related to BofA's pledge to reexamine its gun-maker relationships, in the wake of Parkland. No changes accompanied the new delay announcement.

Scoop: Don Jr. plans convention-week Biden book

Cover via Don Jr.

Donald Trump Jr., in quarantine since girlfriend Kimberly Guilfoyle tested positive for the coronavirus, says he's used the time to finish a book that he'll self-publish the week of the Republican convention, at the end of August.

What he's saying: Don Jr., whose controversial blasts connect with President Trump's base, told me in a phone interview that "Liberal Privilege" will be his effort to paint a picture of Joe Biden and his record that the press ignores.
