Last night, a federal judge rejected Trump's effort to stop the Jan. 6 select committee from getting his White House records from the National Archives. Where do things stand now? (Yes, a thread)
buzzfeednews.com/article/kadiag…
At 3:39am, Trump in the district court renewed his emergency motion for a temporary injunction to try to stop the Nat'l Archives from turning over the docs to the Jan. 6 committee on Friday, which is currently set to happen barring some other court order s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2110…
Trump also immediately appealed to the DC Circuit after Judge Tanya Chutkan handed down her decision last night. That docket is live, and a briefing schedule has been set. There's no request yet from Trump for action by that court before Friday
Just in: A judge denied Trump's latest emergency motion to stop the Archives from turning over his admin. records to the Jan. 6 committee s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2110…

Judge says it's on Trump if he wants to try to convince the DC Circuit to do something before the Nov. 12 deadline

Just in: Trump has now asked the DC Circuit for a temporary "administrative" injunction to stop the Archives from turning over his White House records to the Jan. 6 committee (set to happen tomorrow) while he pursues a full appeal s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2110… ImageImageImage
According to this filing, the Jan. 6 committee and the National Archives aren't taking a position on Trump's request for a temporary administrative injunction. The parties are jointly asking the circuit to set a more expedited briefing schedule on the main appeal Image
Clarification: The expedited schedule they've jointly proposed is for Trump to more formally argue for an injunction pending his appeal of the order denying a prelim. injunction by the district court judge — same core issue, different procedural posture

Hello from my house, where I’ll be covering arguments remotely before SCOTUS at 10am in the fight over whether DOJ and abortion providers can bring constitutional challenges to Texas’s 6-week abortion ban, SB 8.

Previously: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
SB 8 — which deputizes private citizens to enforce the ban and provides $$ incentives to do it — has been in effect since Sept. 1, with the exception of a two-day period last month (see: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…).

Previously on how that came about: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Recall that the question of whether SB 8 is constitutional is not before the justices today (although it could come up) — they're mulling a threshold issue that's held up the DOJ/abortion provider cases in the 5th Circuit, which is whether these plaintiffs can sue at all

A belated hello from Chief Judge Beryl Howell's courtroom, where sentencing is underway for Jan. 6 defendant Leonard Gruppo — for his misdemeanor plea, the govt is seeking 30 days incarceration
On the government's no good very bad day before Chief Judge Howell yesterday in another Jan. 6 sentencing:
buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Howell is not okay with the govt citing what she refers to as Gruppo's "heroic" military service as a factor that cuts against him in terms of sentencing factors; feds had pointed to it as evidence that he should have known better, violated his oath

Hello from Chief Judge Beryl Howell's courtroom (she's in-person, I'm on the remote line), where sentencing is set to begin soon for Jan. 6 def Jack Griffith. Griffith's misdemeanor plea had prompted Howell to question if rioters were getting off too easy: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Govt wants 3 mos incarceration, one of the stiffest sentences for a misdemeanor plea: s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2108…

They'll argue he lacks remorse and made light of Jan. 6; they cite our prev. piece about the Donald Trump-as-shooter video game he was promoting: buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
Griffith's lawyer Heather Shaner will argue for probation, she wrote in the sentencing memo that he was remorseful and has "learned from his impulsive behavior" s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2108…

They'll also be arguing a lighter sentence is more in line with outcomes in other Jan. 6 cases

Hello from Judge Timothy Kelly's virtual courtroom, where a status hearing is underway in one of the Proud Boys cases, incl. defendant Dominic Pezzola. Kelly is about to announce a ruling on Pezzola's request to reopen the question of his pretrial detention
Kelly in March ordered Pezzola to stay in jail pending trial, and goes over some of the main reasons for that, incl. allegations he stole a police riot shield, used it to break a window into the Capitol, wore an earpiece, expressed support for returning to DC for more violence
Pezzola's main argument for reopening his detention status has to do with the conditions at the DC jail and problems accessing materials in his case, and Kelly says that just isn't one of the factors that goes into a pretrial detention decision

NOW: SCOTUS will not halt Texas's 6-week abortion ban for now — the court will take up DOJ's case to decide if the feds can sue Texas. Justice Sotomayor dissents from the decision not to halt SB 8 in the meantime. More to come. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2109…
Now: SCOTUS will leave Texas's six-week abortion ban in place for now as the justices consider whether DOJ and abortion providers can sue over the law at all. Arguments are set for Nov. 1. buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
After facing setbacks in the 5th Circuit, DOJ and abortion providers each petitioned SCOTUS to decide asap critical questions about whether anyone could affirmatively sue to challenge SB 8 and if there was any order courts could fashion to stop enforcement buzzfeednews.com/article/zoetil…
