The latest batch of videos released in the Jan. 6 cases are from the case of Michael Foy, who is charged with assaulting police with a hockey stick (a warning that these are violent). The videos are chaotic, here are some still from docs that the govt says show where he is ImageImage
The first video is very short, in the middle of the screen there's a man swinging down with a hockey stick, that's who the govt says is Foy
Second video begins with people chanting "I can't breathe." At around the 58-second mark the confrontation escalates and the man ID'd as Foy begins swinging the hockey stick. People in the background cheer and chant "USA!"
In video #3, someone is smashing in a window to the Capitol as people in the crowd sing the Star Spangled Banner
Video #4 is from a police officer's body worn camera, providing an up close perspective on the violence and chaos at the front as police tried to stop the mob from advancing. At around the 53-second mark you can see the top of a hockey stick as rioters beat the officer
Final video is another view of the attack on police. Note that the crowd begins to cheer and get loud as the violence picks up, there's a person pumping their fist in front of the camera at around 14 seconds, someone yells "there you go!"; others chant "pull them out!"

NEW: A Colorado judge found Donald Trump engaged in insurrection by inciting the Jan. 6 attack.

But she held the Constitution's insurrectionist ban didn't apply to a president/the presidency, meaning he'll appear on 2024 ballots.

Story, more to come: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Lawyers for the Colorado voters who brought the insurrection disqualification case against Trump say they'll appeal to the Colorado Supreme Court. Whoever loses there can petition SCOTUS to intervene

Hello on this humid late August a.m. from the DC federal courthouse, where Judge Tanya Chutkan will hear arguments and is expected to set a trial date in Trump's 2020 election obstruction case. Special counsel wants to start Jan. 2. Trump wants April 2026:
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Judge Chutkan is on the bench and starts by saying that *neither* trial date proposal is "acceptable" -- DOJ wants Jan. 2, Trump wants April 2026.

Says trial sched can't depend on a defendant's personal and professional obligations, so Trump will have to make a date work
Chutkan says she is taking into account Trump's other cases and trial schedules, but explains why other arguments for a 2026 trial date don't fly -- SCOTUS has said time of investigation doesn't mean defense gets same time for prep, comparisons to other J6 cases aren't on point

Hello on this not-too-hot August morning from the DC federal courthouse, where Donald Trump is expected to appear for a 4pm arraignment. It is obviously many hours until 4pm but here we are! A few streets are closed so far, barricades still going up, much heavier police presence https://t.co/UxzL1blKgWtwitter.com/i/web/status/1…
