Remarkable legal declaration by a fired J6 prosecutor defending the cases brought against the rioters and decrying that POTUS' new compensation fund could end up making payments to the violent defendants he prosecuted. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NEW: DOJ's Civil Rights Division has taken over the investigation into Jan. 6 star witness Cassidy Hutchinson. The move was a highly unusual one by Justice Department leadership, directing a criminal case that appears to involve accusations of lying to Congress to a specialized unit that normally focuses on systemic civil rights abuses like police misconduct and racial discrimination. w/@alanfeuer nytimes.com/2026/04/07/nyr…

JUST IN: A federal judge has blocked construciton of the president's ballroom without congressional approval. "He is not the owner," Judge Leon says of Trump. He has delayed his order for 14 days, however, giving Trump a chance to appeal. ecf.dcd.uscourts.gov/cgi-bin/show_p…

@Greg651 Yes that’s true in general. But in this particular case that’s exactly what it meant

Why would Judge Howell “love the idea” of Jack Smith filing an omnibus motion about executive privilege? Because like everybody else, judges hate extra work. An omnibus motion literally means dealing w/multiple witnesses in one motion instead of filing separate motions for each.
Tom Fitton@TomFitton

NEW: Jack Smith documents show anti-Trump coordination meetings with then-Chief Judge Howell and then-incoming Chief Judge Boasberg. Howell is reported to "love the idea" of an ominbus executive privlege motion (asking to strip protections from @RealDonaldTrump).

This had nothing to do with the substance of the motion. It’s purely about judicial economy.

Psyched to make my debut in the New Yorker with this profile of the bloody life and (grim) legacy of El Mencho "He was ruthless taking over business” Chicago cocaine king Margarito Flores says. His corrido goes: “They say I'm very violent, It’s true, why should I lie about it?”

EXCLUSIVE and BREAKING: Despite pressure from Trump, DOJ tried -- but failed -- to build a criminal case against Biden and his aides for the use of the autopen. This is latest example of DOJ failing to follow through on Trump's desires to use criminal justice system to indict and jail his rivals. w/@DevlinBarrett @alanfeuer nytimes.com/2026/03/04/us/…

NEW and BREAKING: Initially, prosecutors in the US attorney's office in DC took a slow approach to the investigation into the six law makers Trump wanted prosecuted for sedition. Then something abruptly changed, and the US Attorney, Judge Jeanine, instructed her team to bring the indictments. The case blew up. This is how the Trump DOJ operates. nytimes.com/2026/02/18/us/… w/@alanfeuer @GlennThrush

EXCLUSIVE and BREAKING: A Grand Jury in Washington Rebuffed the Trump Justice Dept.'s Attempt to Indict 6 Democrats in Congress who posted a video last fall that enraged President Trump by reminding active-duty members of the military and intelligence community that they were obligated to refuse illegal orders. The rejection was a remarkable rebuke, suggesting that ordinary citizens did not believe that the lawmakers had committed any crimes. nytimes.com/2026/02/10/us/…

In a breathtaking reversal of reality, Trump uses a taxpayer funded White House website to whitewash the history of Jan. 6, blaming Capitol Police, Democrats and Pence -- everyone but himself and the mob that stormed the Capitol. @lukebroadwater @alanfeuer nytimes.com/2026/01/06/us/…

And here's an order from Judge Aileen Cannon rejecting that any of this invalidated the warrant to search Mar-a-Lago. She writes there is "insufficient basis" that "the dissenting views" by FBI agents would have "altered the evidentiary calculus in support of probable cause."

Karoline Leavitt@PressSec

🚨Here's a story that matters... "The FBI did not believe it had probable cause to raid President Donald Trump’s Mar-a-Lago home in 2022, but moved forward amid pressure from the Biden Justice Department, with an official saying he didn’t 'give a damn about the optics' of the search." foxnews.com/politics/fbi-d…
