L.A. councilmembers' leaked audio, which focused heavily on the redistricting process, included racist, bigoted and crude remarks about Black, Jewish, Armenian, Indigenous and gay people.

Here are some of the key moments ⬇️ latimes.com/california/sto…
Former Council President Nury Martinez made racist remarks about Councilmember Mike Bonin’s young son, calling Bonin a "little bitch" and referring to his son as "Parece changuito," or "like a monkey."
The discussion later turns to how Koreatown should be handled in the redistricting process.

“I see a lot of little short dark people,” Martinez said of one section of Koreatown, employing stereotypes long used against Oaxacans in Mexico and in the U.S.

The Jan. 6 House select committee unanimously voted Thursday to issue a subpoena to former President Trump, capping off what could be its final hearing by laying out the case that Trump was premeditated in his attempts to overturn the 2020 election.

latimes.com/politics/story…
"We need to be fair and thorough and gain a full context for the evidence we’ve seen but the need for this committee to hear from Donald Trump goes beyond our fact finding,” Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.) said. “He is required to answer for his actions.”

latimes.com/politics/story…
The subpoena was requested by the committee’s vice chairwoman, Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.), who has been abandoned by the Republican Party and lost her reelection bid after taking a leading role in the investigation.

United States Secret Service agents were alerted to potential violence at the U.S. Capitol Building on Jan. 6, 2021 at least 10 days before rioters stormed the building, according to emails and other messages obtained by the Jan. 6 committee.

“Intelligence about this risk was directly available to the U.S. Secret Service and others in the White House in advance of the Ellipse speech, in advance of the march to the U.S. Capitol,” said Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Burbank).

The panel obtained over 1 million emails from Secret Service & spent the month of August reviewing the documents, Schiff said. The FBI, Capitol Police, Metropolitan Police Department of D.C., & others gave the Secret Service intelligence they gathered regarding potential threats

Former President Trump planned “well in advance” to declare victory on election night, regardless of the vote count, said Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-San Jose) at Thursday’s hearing by the House panel investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection.

latimes.com/politics/story…
“It was a plan concocted in advance to convince his supporters that he won, and the people who seemingly knew about the plan in advance would ultimately play a significant role in the events of January,” Lofgren said.

latimes.com/politics/story…
Rep. Liz Cheney asked the public to keep 3 facts in mind:
⚫Trump always planned to claim fraud if he lost
⚫ Trump knew his claims of fraud were false & made conscious decision to make them anyway
⚫ People who ultimately stopped his attempts to stay in power were Republicans.
