The U.S. Attorney's office announced an update on charges related to the U.S. Capitol insurrection soon.

As I cover that, my colleague @colinkalmbacher will live-tweet the Aaron Mostofsky hearing.
The briefing is about to begin.
FBI Washington Field office's Steven M. D'Antuono is up first.

"We have opened 160 case files, and that is just the tip of the iceberg."

"We are aware of potential protests on Jan. 17. However, we do not share our operational plans."

Atlanta PD:

"At present, there are no verified threats to indicate that violent activity is being planned in the City of Atlanta." ImageImage

This is a federal court deferring to a U.S. president's wishes to limit public access to proceedings of a lawsuit seeking to overturn an election. 🔽
Following up on a pending access request, I asked chambers what discretion the judge has to provide *remote* public access if the parties do not consent to it. This question remains unclear.

I was told the court will consider and respond to our pending request by four news orgs.
To be clear, in-person access is allowed, but the late notice and the pandemic effectively amounts to a courtroom closure for many, at the request of the president.

Proceedings were scheduled to start 40 minutes ago.

This morning, there is going to be a federal hearing in Georgia in the case of Trump v. Kemp, but I have been told by chambers that there will be no remote public access because plaintiff declined.
When I expressed confusion about a party having any say over what access exists to our public courthouses, she replied that she was just conveying what was decided.

To avoid any confusion, I repeated: So Trump declined remote public access?

His attorneys did, she replied.

Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio has been arrested on property-destruction charges, multiple outlets report.

Earlier today, he and his group were sued for the destruction of a Black Lives Matter sign at an historic black church.

I'll update the story on the lawsuit with news about the arrest.
I am reaching out to Metropolitan Police for more information. Here is the NYT's coverage, which has been matched by multiple news outlets. nytimes.com/live/2021/01/0…

The WaPo publishes a recording of Trump trying to bully, entice, cajole and threaten Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger into a coup d’etat.

Listen in the story below. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump…
Watch the spin that follows the publication of this tape:

Someone seeking to “find 11,780 votes” is not looking for an investigation but an overthrow, whatever he says in the rest of the tape.

That reality cannot be soft-pedaled.
Some people are taking away from this story of a phone call from *yesterday* that Trump believes his own lies and delusions, which is a misinterpretation.

The fact that Trump threatens Raffensperger to manufacture 11,780 votes is pretty clear evidence that he does not.
