NEW: I spoke to Jennifer Weisselberg, a cooperating witness in the Manhattan DA and NYAG investigations into Trump.

She says she's given them 7 boxes of documents and spoken to Mark Pomerantz several times.

businessinsider.com/manhattan-da-t…
Jennifer Weisselberg said the Trump Organization gives employees apartments and pays their kids tuition instead of raises as a way to control them.

"They want you to do crimes and not talk about it and don't leave," she said. "It's so controlling." businessinsider.com/manhattan-da-t…
Weisselberg told me the Manhattan DA's office sent a forensic accountant with experience analyzing mob finances to look at the Trump Organization documents in her possession. businessinsider.com/manhattan-da-t…

The Justice Department is considering Civil War-era sedition charges against Capitol rioters.

Will prosecutors actually do it? That all depends on Merrick Garland. insider.com/sedition-charg…
The last time the DOJ brought sedition charges was in 1993, for the World Trade Center bombing.

It was such a rare move that SDNY prosecutors traveled to Washington, DC to convince Janet Reno to let them do it. insider.com/sedition-charg…
It's the rarity of the charges that make them so hard to prove.

Proving an assault charge is easy. Seditious conspiracy has few precedents. insider.com/sedition-charg…

NEW: MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell says he's losing $65 million over election fraud claims

It's proof — contrary to Dominion's $1.3 billion defamation — that he's not pushing the fraud narrative for the money, he says.

businessinsider.com/mypillow-ceo-m…
"Lindell — a talented salesman and former professional card counter — sells the lie to this day because the lie sells pillows," Dominion lawyer Tom Clare wrote.

"I lost 20 retailers, and it's cost me $65 million this year," Lindell told me.

businessinsider.com/mypillow-ceo-m…
The lawsuit paints a portrait of Lindell using the election conspiracy theory to boost his pillow business: advertising on far-right media outlets, conspiratorial discount codes, and pages of social media posts from conspiracy-mongering customers.

BBC got a copy of Anna Sorokin's contract with Netflix. It was signed just 11 days after @jpressler's story in The Cut went viral. bbc.com/news/world-us-…
The story also confirms that HBO is doing a documentary about her, which frees me up to say: No I'm not in the doc, and yes I'm mad about it.
It's kind of funny that, after everything Rachel Williams went through, it all came down to successfully winning a credit card dispute bbc.com/news/world-us-…

SCOOP: Trump-ally media outlet OAN quietly deleted articles about Dominion Voting Systems despite publicly doubling down on election conspiracy theories businessinsider.com/oan-deletes-ar…
If you look at the "Dominion Voting Systems" category tag on OAN's website, there's just one story.

Look at the @waybackmachine for that page — there's more than a dozen.businessinsider.com/oan-deletes-ar…
Legitimate news organizations usually issue retraction notices or editors' notes when they do something like this.

OAN hasn't said anything.

Dominion tells me they haven't been in touch with them about the deletions either. businessinsider.com/oan-deletes-ar…
