JUST IN: The Jan. 6 select committee has released its report and resolution calling for BANNON to be referred to DOJ for criminal contempt charges. docs.house.gov/meetings/IJ/IJ… Image
The House and Trump both drew from the Mazars ruling to support their cases today >>> Image
IMPORTANT: As the committee notes, there are *many* subjects lawmakers could ask Bannon about that clearly have no conceivable relationship to 'executive privilege' at all. ImageImage
The Jan. 6 select committee asked Bannon for 17 categories of documents and communications. ImageImage

BREAKING: Supreme Court, 5-4 with Barrett and libs dissenting, significnatly narrows obstruction statute DOJ has used to prosecute Jan. 6 defendants, could upend hundreds of cases. supremecourt.gov/opinions/23pdf…
This ruling may dramatically impact the 350-plus cases of obstrcution against Jan. 6 defendants but have relatively little effect on the obstruction charges against Donald Trump. The court held that the statute in question must include manipulation of physical documents.
Justice JACKSON, who joined the majority here, also offers a roadmap for prosecutors to sustain their cases against the vast majority of Jan. 6 defendants charged with 1512, noting that even in the narrow view, the defendants sought to impair access to electoral certificates. Image

NEW: Mark MEADOWS has spent weeks quietly battling NARA and DOJ to obtain an enormous trove of his records as Trump’s chief of staff.

It’s spilled into the open this week in federal court, where NARA is resisting his demands. politico.com/news/2024/06/2…
Image
Meadows says the records will help him fight criminal charges in Georgia and make clear why Jack Smith chose not to charge him or even call him an unindicted coconspirator.

But NARA says the request is too massive and broad to be relevant. What he wants:

One complicating factor: the judge in Georgia, Scott McAfee, signed off on Meadows’ request in March (before the case was paused by the appeals court). So Meadows is asking DC courts to enforce the request.

But NARA/DOJ say state courts can’t do that. politico.com/news/2024/06/2…

The House is free to express its disapproval of the Jan. 6 committee anytime, but this notion they will simply rescind the subpoenas or contempt votes of an earlier Congress — and that it will have some meaningful legal effect — is fanciful.
It’s become a litmus test on the right in recent weeks. But whether a contempt occurred in an earlier Congress is up to that Congress. It would be a form of legal chaos to allow Congresses years or decades later to try to unravel prior contempts that were already prosecuted.
For context: This has become a rallying call on the right, particularly since Judge Nichols ordered Steve Bannon to prison by July 1. Some candidates and members are openly promising to do this, as though it has some practical effect.

👀 Justice MERCHAN has notified the parties in Trump's case that a stray comment was posted on the NY court system's Facebook page on May 29, a day before Trump's conviction. Image
Here is the letter about the Facebook comment: nycourts.gov/LegacyPDFS/pre…
It does seem likely to be a fake — but Merchan didn’t indicate one way or the other whether he considered it serious. May have been sharing out of an abundance of caution in case others saw the screenshot.

HAPPENING NOW: The jury has signaled it has a note for the judge, so everyone is reconvening for an update. Unclear what the subject is.
I've seen some quick verdicts in cases, but that would be a shocker here. I've also seen juries deliberate for hours before sending a note that makes it sound like they've barely scratched the surface and maybe need troubleshooting help accessing evidence.
MERCHAN says the note came in at 2:56. It contains 4 requests.

1) Pecker's testimony re phone call with Trump
2) Pecker's testimoyn regarding decision not to finalize and fund McDougal's life rights
3) Pecker's testimony onTrump Tower meeting
4) Cohen on Trump Tower meeting
