So...Capitol Insurrection defendant Bigo Barnett really wants to go to a car show today

(He's accused of putting feet on Pelosi office desk, taking mail)

The car show is 215 miles away, beyond court's limits on Barnett's movements

SO LOOK AT WHAT HE FILED OVERNIGHT:

(thread)
Feds asked judge to reject Barnett's request to go to this classic car show this weekend

Barnett was released from pre-trail detention a few weeks ago.. & says he's making ends meet by selling classic cars

Feds say Barnett has other income & has found trouble during release
Feds say police were called twice to Barnett's house since he arrived home from jail. One for gunfire unrelated to Barnett... somewhere nearby

Another time for a civil dispute between Barnett and another man, per court docs

Look at how Barnett's lawyer responds

(more)
Barnett defense lawyer to court: "Government has fabricated lies, bent the truth, distorted facts"

(reminder.. this is a legal filing over whether Barnett can go to a car show today)

Wait.. there's more:
Barnett's lawyer says the US Justice Dept is using "fictitious nonsense to manipulate the law to achieve its own dubious end"

He says feds are being "offensive" to other attorneys
Then the attorney references "government bureaucrats" while criticizing restrictions on Barnett's movements outside business hours
Barnett faces several criminal charges.. he's just out of jail.... back home in Arkansas and he's pleaded NOT GUILTY

Big moments in his case remain

And he's been going round-and-round with the feds and courts all week... to attend a classic car show in Morrilton, Arkansas
As for that civil dispute on his property.... here's how Barnett explains what happened:
Judge rules AGAINST Bigo. No car show

Feds: "The rifle was loaded with a total of 11 rounds and had a round in the chamber. The serial number on the rifle was obliterated and unreadable"
Justice Dept court filing includes image of gun. And a backpack containing plates capable of "stopping small arms fire" Image
Feds say when police stopped Routh in his Nissan last Sunday, the car had false license plates & "FBI agents found 2 additional license plates. The agents also found 6 cellphones. One of the cell phones contained a Google search of how to travel from Palm Beach County to Mexico"

Justice Department says it WILL seek pretrial detention in the new criminal case of Sean "Diddy" Combs
Justice Dept filing seeking court order to jail Sean Combs:

"The defendant poses an ongoing and significant danger to the community, has repeatedly engaged in obstructive conduct, and presents a serious risk of flight. The government respectfully submits that the defendant cannot meet his burden of overcoming the statutory presumption in favor of detention. There are no conditions of bail that would assure the appearance and compliance of the defendant, or the safety of others. Accordingly, any application for bail should be denied"
Justice Department (More) in its request for pretrial jail for Sean Puffy Combs:

"The incentive to flee is especially strong for this defendant, who, at age 54, faces the very real prospect of spending a substantial portion of the rest of his life in prison"

Initial appearance is complete for Ryan Routh in Florida

Charges include weapons possession. (So far)

He is qualified for public defender.

Government seeks pretrial detention

Per my teammates in courthouse
In newly unsealed charging documents, prosecutors allege Ryan Routh was using a stolen license plate on his vehicle and ... when he was stopped by police... he was asked "if he knew why he was being stopped"

"He responded in the affirmative"
Per charging documents, when he sought to escape, Ryan Routh got into a NISSAN SUV and took off "at a high rate of speed"

"The serial number on the SKS-style rifle was obliterated and unreadable" Image

En route to the courthouse ... and courtroom 9

Updates begin at 10am Image
REMINDER: Trump has waived his right to attend the hearing. Judge approved him doing so

Trump has instructed his defense attorneys to enter a NOT GUILTY plea, on his behalf, to the charges in the superseding indictment
LAST WEEK: Special Counsel Jack Smith asked court for hearing on immunity issues raised by Supreme Court: "On whether any categories of material in the superseding indictment or that the Government plans to use at trial implicate immunity"

That raises prospect of colorful hearing soon
