In a flurry of legal filings this afternoon, the Washington, D.C.-based Heritage Foundation conservative action group is asking a federal judge for a hearing TODAY or TONIGHT on the matter of the leaked audio of President Biden’s interview by then-Special Counsel Robert Hur
Heritage is asking a DC federal judge "for a temporary restraining order directing defendant to produce all recordings of former President Joseph R. Biden’s Interview with Special Counsel Robert K. Hur.. within 4 hours of this Court’s order"
Heritage and media outlets had filed Freedom of Information Act requests for the audio last year

Heritage argues the release of snippets of the audio by the Axios news service adds urgency to their request

Court filing: "How did a record subject to a claim of Executive Privilege and possibly classified make it into the hands of Axios? Add to that how did that record end up being spliced without notion? The Court must require an immediate answer to that question. This situation is untenable. Full disclosure is necessary now"

The filing notes this week’s public statements by Ed Martin, the newly-named member of Justice Dept’s “weaponization” group. The group of FBI workers is worried about the list being publicized or leaked by Justice Dept, subjecting the agents to retaliation & violence (more)
The FBI employees argue that Martin publicly pledged Tuesday to “name and shame” employees inside the department.

Stand by:

Inside federal court in Milwaukee, awaiting 10am arraignment of Judge Hannah Dugan, whose arrest was announced by FBI Director Kash Patel last month. She’s accused of obstruction and re-routing an undocumented immigrant in her court away from agents
Judge Dugan is asking that her case be dismissed. She’s laced her argument with reference to Supreme Court’s 2024 “immunity” ruling which benefited Trump. She’s arguing her actions in her court were “official” acts
Judge Dugan’s defense argued in a filing yesterday:

“The problems with this prosecution are legion, but most immediately, the government cannot prosecute Judge Dugan because she is entitled to judicial immunity for her official acts. Immunity is not a defense to the prosecution to be determined later by a jury or court; it is an absolute bar to the prosecution at the outset”

NEW: In a blistering new order, federal judge Paula Xinis of Maryland says the Trump Administration is making "a willful and bad faith refusal to comply with discovery obligations" in the court case of Kilmar Abrego Garcia
Judge Paula Xinis also finds the Trump Admin has "sought refuge behind vague and unsubstantiated assertions of privilege, using them as a shield to obstruct discovery and evade compliance with this court's orders" in Kilmar Abrego Garcia case
The judge's order also throws shade on the Trump Admin's claim Abrego Garcia is out of their control ... in Salvadoran custody

Judge: "Indeed, custody can be joint, and custodial status may be controlled by the Defendants acting in concert with El Salvador"
