🚨 BREAKING: Steve Bannon has been indicted by the SDNY: justice.gov/usao-sdny/pr/l…
The release names a "Timothy Shea". To be clear, that is NOT the Acting Administrator of the DEA.
Bannon was taken into custody by...agents of the United States Postal Service. (chef's kiss)

Oh and Brian Kolfage was indicted, too.

Kind of interesting how AG Barr forced out Geoff Berman from the US Attorney position at SDNY just a couple of months ago...🧐

JUST IN: Harvey Weinstein's conviction has now been overturned by the New York Court of Appeals, which is New York's highest court. In a 4-3 ruling, the appeals court found that the trial court judge committed reversible error when he allowed the prosecution to call as witnesses other women who claimed that they had been assaulted by Weinstein.
The appeals court found that Weinstein's jury improperly heard evidence of Weinstein's "other alleged bad acts"/past behavior and that he did not receive a fair trial.
Weinstein will remain incarcerated, however, because in 2022, he was sentenced in California to 16 years in prison after his conviction for rape.

Now, the DA's Office shifts to a line of questioning about Karen McDougal.
Pecker says Dylan Howard advised in June of 2016 that she claimed that she had a sexual, romantic relationship with Trump for a year.
Pecker called Cohen and told him what Dylan had told Pecker. Before Pecker could finish, Cohen said it was absolutely untrue. Pecker said this was different and said we should vet this out first. Cohen said it was a good idea.

After a brief 15-minute recess, Pecker's testimony resumes.

Pecker is handed a thumb drive. He testifies that he reviewed its contents (AMI emails) and that they are consistent with how AMI maintained its emails.
After a longer than usual sidebar, the thumb drive is admitted into evidence.
Prosecution asks Pecker is he knows who Dino Sajudin is. He was the doorman at Trump's penthouse and Dino claimed that "Trump fathered an illegitimate child with his housekeeper."

To me, that's Dino the Doorman.

Prosecution shows Pecker Exhibit 152, which is a document containing several headlines about Trump between August 2015 and the election, and Pecker confirms the headlines correspond to stories that actually ran in the Enquirer during that period.
Pecker on negative stories about Trump's opponents: Michael Cohen would call me and say we would like you to run an article on a certain person...and then Cohen would send me a piece on Ted Cruz, for example, and the Enquirer would embellish it from there.”

B/c Cohen wasn't a part of the campaign, when Cohen said "we" I always thought Cohen meant him and Trump.
Pecker said his understanding was that Cohen was physically in every aspect of Trump Tower and therefore, heard things or injected himself into issues relating to the campaign.

Pecker: "I was the person who thought that a lot of women would come out to try to sell their stories because Mr. Trump was well known as the most eligible bachelor. And dated the most beautiful women. And it was clear that based on my past experience that when someone was running for public office like this, it is very common for these women to call up magazine like the National Enquirer to try to sell their stories.”
Pecker: "Yes, when i say mutually beneficial, writing positive stories about Trump and covering the election and writing negative stories about his opponents will only help newsstand sales so to me that was my incentive, it was also going to benefit his campaign and both parties benefited from it."
Prior to that 2015 meeting, Pecker had NEVER purchased a story about Trump in order NOT to run it.
