@joshgerstein Powell initially cited executive privilege to avoid questioning from Judge SULLIVAN, but the judge pressed her further and she ultimately acknowledged her interaction with Trump. politico.com/news/2020/09/2…
@joshgerstein GLEESON, the attorney appointed by Sullivan to argue the case against Flynn, is now rattling off public comments and tweets by Trump weighing in on the Flynn case, slamming proescutors and investigators and commenting on the facts of the case.
@joshgerstein NEW: Judge Sullivan sets Oct. 7 deadline for parties in Flynn to supplement the record with new info. Means there likely won't be a decision until late next week, at the earliest.

NEW: Takeaways from today’s SCOTUS argument:

1) Donald Trump could win by losing because in this case losing his most extreme argument means further delay of trial — and for Trump, delay is almost as good as an outright win

2) The conservatives on the court contorted themselves to avoid discussing the specific case in front of them — Donald Trump’s attempt to subvert the 2020 election. They talked about FDR, Nixon and future presidents. But they rarely engaged w the present.

There's some wild stuff in this newly unsealed (but heavily redacted) FBI interview from a high-level Trump-world person related to the classified docs investigation.

For example: the witness was afraid to have the interview recorded for fear of reprisal storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
And while the interview is primarily about the docs investigation, this person apparently witnessed Jeff Clark hand Trump the letter about Georgia electors: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
This person has a very low opinion of "person 24," who apparently tried to overplay a relationship with Trump and pushed the post-hoc claims that Trump had "declassified everything." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

JUST IN: The DC Circuit has upheld the conviction of former Ron/Rand Paul aide Jesse BENTON for orchestrating an illegal payment from a Russian national to the Trump campaign and RNC. documentcloud.org/documents/2455…
Image
Trump had previously pardoned Benton for *other* campaign finance crimes. The story of this particular contribution is really incredible. the Russian, Roman Vasilenko, really wanted to meet Oprah, Stephen Seagal or Jimmy Carter. documentcloud.org/documents/2455…

Benton concealed Vasilenko's role in paying for tickets to a joint Trump/RNC fundraiser. documentcloud.org/documents/2455…

NEW: How do you seat a jury capable of judging Donald Trump, one of the most famous and polarizing people alive?

Here’s what the former president’s prosecutors and defense lawyers think they need to ask to root out secret biases among jurors.

Forget the experts: Prosecutors and Trump defense lawyers have already told us what they think is necessary in four different Trump cases. And the questions they want(ed) to ask range from pointed and political to philosophical and a bit odd.

At bottom there are five clear categories aimed at delving into jurors’ minds:

-Opinions about Trump, the man and his presidency
-Views about Trump’s criminal cases
-Political views/activity
-News consumption
-Wildcards aimed at unearthing hidden biases
