Justice Department leaders have started requiring all prosecutors to maintain at least 25 open cases, tightening the Trump administration’s grip on operational decisions previously left to US attorneys. news.bloomberglaw.com/us-law-week/do…

Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein’s horrific abuse are speaking out. Todd Blanche led the botched release of the Epstein Files. His incompetence further traumatized survivors. Disqualifying.

JUST IN: 13th straight rejection of DOJ's legal effort to compel states to turn over their voter rolls. George W. Bush-appointed Judge Thomas Johnston wonders what DOJ is really driving at. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

"...brought to manipulate the judicial process" On today's ruling slamming Trump, his lawyers and DOJ for the settlement to end his IRS lawsuit. At a minimum, it appears to undermine part of the deal that gives Trump immunity from audits into past tax filings, among other sanctions buff.ly/htbROQC Order: buff.ly/pFmwTOQ

Senate needs to grill Todd Blanche on slush fund, Epstein files, firing DOJ employees, and targeting Trump rivals, but most important is his vision for AG. Does he plan to follow the rule of law or act as Trump’s puppet? My thoughts in @opinion.bloomberg.com bloomberg.com/opinion/articl…

Judge Williams is absolutely unstinting in her criticism of the government in the "original" slush fund case. This is the one Trump filed in Florida against the IRS, which I wrote about here if you want a refresher on the backstory: joycevance.substack.com/p/the-week-ahe…

40+ civil rights organizations just came out against Todd Blanche. Todd Blanche is indicting civil rights champions, protecting insurrectionists, and firing prosecutors. All to protect Donald Trump—not YOU.

Court has found what we knew all along. Blanche’s “settlement” with Trump providing tax immunity was illegal self-dealing. Trump barred from using it and lawyers sanctioned. Great to see a court call out the corruption. nytimes.com/interactive/20… via @NYTimes

Prof. Jacques deLisle @jdelisle21and Nicholas Howson @nicohowson, have you ever thought that the Diary is not Mr. Li Rui's estate at all under the then-valid Inheritance Law of China? It's totally different from Chiang's Diaries case. The Diary Duel thewirechina.com/2021/09/26/the…

CA11 deepens the split—now 3 to 3—on whether the private search reconstruction doctrine allows the govt to open a computer file w/o a warrant after a private Internet provider scans it & finds a hash match w/known CSAM file. CA11, per Newsom, says yes. media.ca11.uscourts.gov/opinions/pub/f… #N

The boss said the law firm wouldn't help Trump in his E. Jean Carroll case. Now it is—and that’s deepening a rift among partners. on.wsj.com/4wAur2C

All over but the shouting in the first of E Jean Carroll‘s defamation case cases to make it to SCOTUS, only to have them refuse Trump‘s appeal. Procedural details here, for those who like the legal stuff—that’s how Carroll & her lawyer Robbie Kaplan won; they persisted. joycevance.substack.com/p/e-jean-carro…

US District Judge Lewis Kaplan in Manhattan authorized the payment of nearly $5.8 million to magazine writer E. Jean Carroll to satisfy a 2023 civil verdict in which a jury found President Trump liable for sexually abusing and defaming her. Subscribe: reut.rs/46ty0gg

Apartment company co-owned by Jared Kushner must pay over $4M in damages, Baltimore judge rules thebanner.com/community/hous…

Trump aide Peter Navarro tells the DC Circuit Court of Appeals (via new counsel @AbhiKambli1984) that he doesn't want DOJ to drop his criminal contempt of Congress case — like it did for Steve Bannon — but would rather get a ruling on the appeal of his conviction on the merits.

Liz Oyer, the former Justice Department pardon attorney, worked directly with for Todd Blanche. He fired her for doing her job and refusing to be a rubberstamp. Take it from her. Todd Blanche should not be confirmed

JUST IN: Despite expressing "significant misigivings," Judge Sooknanan approves a settlement between the SEC and Elon Musk's trust over violations in his acquisition of Twitter. She says it's up to voters to decide whether the settlement is legit. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Here’s the problem: we can no longer believe the government when it makes these kinds of statements after its agents kill someone. That’s a very dangerous place for a democracy to be. Read the full analysis here: open.substack.com/pub/joycevance…

Judge Kaplan: “In the last analysis, defendant has been stalling this case for years. A jury unanimously concluded that he sexually abused and defamed plaintiff and awarded her damages accordingly. The judgment on that verdict has been upheld on appeal. En bane rehearing has been denied. The Supreme Court has denied certiorari without dissent. It is time for him to "do equity" and pay the judgment.”

Earlier today, Judge Kaplan ordered — storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… — E. Jean Carroll to get her $5 million plus interest after the Supreme Court denied Donald Trump's appeal last week. Now, Trump's lawyers are appealing — storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco… — today's order.
