BREAKING Second Libyan militant convicted in U.S. court in 2012 Benghazi attacks that killed U.S. Ambassador J. Christopher Stevens and three other Americans. wapo.st/2IE2xwk
A Washington, D.C., jury delivered a partial verdict, finding Mustafa al-Imam, 47, guilty on one count each of conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists and maliciously destroying government property, but deadlocking on 15 of 17 other counts...
, including the most serious charges of murder and attempted murder in the overnight attacks that began Sept. 11, 2012, on a U.S. diplomatic mission and nearby CIA post.
Stevens was the first U.S. ambassador killed while in the performance of his duties in nearly 40 years. Al-Imam’s capture was ordered by president Trump, and the trial in civilian court marked the first of a foreign terrorism suspect captured abroad during his presidency.

TODAY D.C. Circuit court of appeals upholds release of Trump/Mazars USA financial records to House, saying it has 'amassed detailed evidence of suspected misrepresentations and omissions' in former president's financial disclosures. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2022/…
Chief Circuit Judge Srinavasan wrote for panel: “If the level of evidence presented by the Committee here does not suffice to obtain a narrowed subset of the former president’s information, we doubt that any Congress could obtain a President’s papers.”
Srinavasan added: "Requiring disclosures aimed at preventing Presidents from engaging in self-dealing and other conflicts of interest is assuredly a legitimate legislative purpose.”

A federal judge in D.C. has rejected Trump spokesman Taylor Budowich's emergency request to claw back personal financial records subpoenaed by the House Jan. 6 committee...
"I found no case, and there doesn't appear to be one, saying that Congress must give back documents once it has received them , no matter how Congress has received them," U.S. District Judge James E. Boasberg rules on emergency motion for temporary injunction.
The decision leaves a rocky legal path ahead for Budowich, who said his bank JP Morgan's decision to notify him of the House subpoena just before a Dec. 24 Christmas eve deadline "blocked the courthouse doors" to him to stop an invasion of his financial privacy

NOW IN COURT In first Capitol riot felony sentencing, U.S. argues "Jan. 6 was genuinely an act of terrorism... The need to preserve respect for the law is really at its pinnacle in a crime like this." BKGD washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
Defendant Paul Hodgkins "was part and parcel of an act of domestic terrorism going around him, and that context is relevant when this court is sentencing him," Asst. U.S. Atty Mona Sedky argued before U.S. District Judge Randolph D. Moss.
Sedky: "Imposing this 18-month sentence will be just punishment for Mr. Hodgkins, holding him accountable for this tpe of criminal conduct. But equally important, it will send a loud and clear message to other would be rioters that if and when they are caught, they will be

NEW In first, U.S. charges Jan. 6 defendant with bringing firearms to Capitol under controversial federal rioting law. Four Capitol breach defendants now including alleged Texas Three Percenters recruiter Guy Reffitt face gun charges.
washingtonpost.com/local/legal-is…
The Trump DOJ spurred criticism after turning to the civil disorder law in 2020 after decades of virtual disuse to prosecute dozens of protest-related cases after the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis police custody.
Critics say the statute dates to 1968 when southern Senators pressed Congress to pass the Civil Obedience Act as an amendment to the Civil Rights Act, to “protect the public from irresponsible rabble rousers” in the civil rights movement.
