Hello from the DC federal courthouse, where Maria Butina is due at 10am for a status conference. Is she ready for sentencing? Stay tuned
Now: Maria Butina will be sentenced on April 26 at 10am. Sentencing memos will be due a week before. Aside from a brief, sealed bench conference, that was all that happened. Butina, who remains detained, was in court with her lawyers
Butina pleaded guilty in December to conspiring to act as an agent for the Russian government, and agreed to delay sentencing while she cooperated with the government: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil… She's been in jail since her arrest in July 2018

NEW: In a rare public rebuke of Trump by a sitting federal judge, Judge Carlton Reeves gave a speech yesterday comparing Trump's criticism of the judiciary to the KKK and segregationists buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Judge Reeves, quoting Trump's tweets and public comments: "When politicians attack courts as 'dangerous,' 'political,' and guilty of 'egregious overreach,' you can hear the Klan’s lawyers, assailing officers of the court across the South." buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Reeves blasted the lack of diversity among Trump's judicial nominees: "This Administration and a bare majority of the Senate, walking arm-and-arm, are not stumbling unaware towards a homogeneous judiciary." buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

In the FOIA lawsuit filed by my colleague @JasonLeopold, the judge has set a hearing on a preliminary injunction motion for April 16 at 2pm — Jason and BuzzFeed News are asking the judge to order DOJ to process the FOIA request and produce non-exempt portions by April 18
You may be wondering: "Why pursue this when the AG has said he'll release the report within a week?" Pursuing docs under FOIA and then in litigation (if you're in a position to sue) puts requesters in a posture to challenge withheld information before a judge
The judge is also asking whether he should consolidate BuzzFeed's case with an earlier FOIA suit filed over the Mueller report by @EPICprivacy. Previously on that case: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…

JUST IN: Judge in Maria Butina's case schedules a telephone conference for 11a tomorrow, with 14-hour notice. No other information is given in the docket entry. The next scheduled conference in the case was not until Dec. 19.
This comes a week after the parties had expressed optimism that there could be "pretrial resolution of this matter" — although today's order from Judge Chutkan does not suggest tomorrow's telephone conference comes at the request of the parties.
In response to that joint motion last week, Judge Chutkan put motions in the case that had been due before the Dec. 19 status conference on hold for now, so the case was actually slowing down, in a sense, while the parties pursued (we presume) plea negotiations.

1. BREAKING: Mueller's new court filing clarifies Van der Zwaan (who was in direct contact with Rick Gates) knows "key details" about the ongoing Russia investigation. And we don't know about them. YET.
2. Mueller says "Van der Zwaan is in an unusual position of having information related to the office's investigation that is not widely known -- including information that he knows first-hand due to his role in the conduct the Office is investigating"
3. Told you last week that THIS was the huge story, bc of the revelation, confirmed by Van der Zwaan phone records, that Gates and Manafort were working directly and in direct contact with Kilimnik, who is a Russian intelligence "former" officer.

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full

(Thread) I spent 2017 documenting protest & activism in the DC area. It was a non-stop (ongoing!) beat, and 7,000+ photos later, here's some of the most unforgettable.
1. (1/20) #DisruptJ20, several anti-Trump protests blocks from the parade route. 200+ swept up in a mass arrest (upper left), facing riot charges. Most still awaiting trial.
2. (1/20) Early that morning, hundreds of protesters peacefully blockaded checkpoints into Trump's inaugural parade.
