NEW: Judge CHUTKAN is now weighing in on Trump's mass dismissal of Jan. 6 cases, saying it "cannot whitewash the blood, feces, and terror that the mob left in its wake."
politico.com/news/2025/01/2…Image
Chutkan's comments closely followed Judge Beryl HOWELL, who lit into Trump's dismissals for stoking a "revisionist myth" about what happened on Jan. 6 and the criminal cases that followed. politico.com/news/2025/01/2…Image
Image
SIDE NOTE: There are all kinds of ancillary issues cropping up w/ J6 dismissals. Judge Mehta notes that he may not be able to "dismiss" a conviction that has been finalized. Judge Bates wants to know whether he can still penalize a defendant for violations of release conditions. Image

BREAKING: The Supreme Court has *DENIED* Donald Trump's bid to stay his criminal sentence in NY.

5-4 decision Image
The thrust: Trump can deal with his complaints about trial evidence / immunity in the regular appeals process, rather than on an emergency basis.

And the burden on the transition should be minimal, they say, because the judge plans to impose a limited sentence.
UAlito did not recuse despite Dems calling on him to do so after he acknowledged advocating for a former clerk to get an administration job.

Barrett, Roberts sided with the court's liberals.

Image
MORE: Cannon's order came wthout addressing questions about her jurisdiction (the case is pending before the 11th circuit, not her court) and in advance of a promised filing from Smith's office later tonight.

DOJ had also assured her the report wouldn't come before Jan. 10.
ALSO: The order does NOT bar Trump or his codefendants from sharing aspects of the report, even though they have spent three days reviewing it. DOJ said earlier today that Trump inappropriately shared details of the report in a court filing yesterday.
