A lot of big legal news has happened in the past 72 hours. Here are the highlights from our @BuzzFeedNews coverage —>
There was an Emoluments Clause lawsuit hearing, and @ZoeTillman was there: buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/tru…
ICE is working with the Bureau of Prisons to use 1,600 of its beds for people it has detained, @aflores and I reported: buzzfeed.com/adolfoflores/u…
A former senior Senate Intel staffer was indicted, charged with lying to federal agents in connection with a leak investigation in which a reporter’s records were seized. @ZoeTillman was on it: buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/a-f…
DOJ is arguing the ACA’s individual mandate is now unconstitutional — and that the law’s other key parts (including the ban on denying coverage for pre-existing conditions) should be struck down as a result. I wrote: buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/o…
On Friday, Mueller revealed a new indictment. @VeraMBergen and I wrote about the obstruction and conspiracy charges that Manafort and Kilimnik (formerly known as “Person A” in the papers) face for alleged witness-tampering: buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/m…
Then, @ZoeTillman had the follow-up: Manafort, in a filing over the conditions of his release pending trial, called the witness-tampering claims “dubious” and an effort to “poison” the jury pool: buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/pau…
Then, @dominicholden continued with his coverage of the ins and outs of the Trump-Sessions relationship with a look at how Trump’s comments that he supports a marijuana bill in Congress are “a real F-you” to Sessions. buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/…
And finally, late last night, DOJ filed a brief in a case challenging DACA — this lawsuit is from opponents of DACA — in which, I wrote, the department laid out a path to force DACA to the Supreme Court as soon as this summer. buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/t…
Ooops: That actually was our coverage from the past 48 hours — not 72 hours, as I initially wrote. 😑 In short, a helluva lot happened on Thursday and Friday, on a lot of different fronts, and I couldn’t be working with a more amazing group of people to cover it all. 😊
