Tonight, as you and yours settle in for Netflix & Chill, I want to introduce you to a guy who looks like a Hallmark Xmas movie lead, but is playing a role in a far more interesting drama. Meet William B. (aka Beau) Harrison. 1/ Image
Harrison is a former White House operations aide who, according to emails exchanged with the GSA in 2021, was also scheduled to take a role with former President Trump in Florida. See page 20 here:

assets.bwbx.io/documents/user…
And he is married to another former WH aide, Hayley D'Antuono, who also made the move to Florida. Here's their wedding pic, courtesy of Politico:
Harrison and his wife were in Trump's inner circle. Here they are, along with Trump's social media guru Dan Scavino, as Trump's coterie for his last flight on Marine One from the White House:

And it would seem they remain in the inner circle. FEC filings for Trump's leadership PAC, Save America, reveal that they remain on his payroll:

fec.gov/data/disbursem…
But what makes Harrison interesting now is the confluence of two things: the discovery of 2 additional classified documents in a Florida storage facility & his involvement in sending pallets of documents to both Mar-a-Lago and a West Palm Beach storage facility in 2021.
Specifically, in July 2021, as Harrison was working with GSA staff to have Trump's belongings sent to FL, he was told that certain funds could not be used unless someone certified those belongings were official, not personal. As docs @JasonLeopold obtained show, Harrison obliged:
@JasonLeopold By late September 2021, Harrison was *still* arranging for pallets of documents to be delivered, including to a West Palm Beach storage facility called Life Storage:
@JasonLeopold As @hugolowell noted earlier this week, it's *not* clear that Life Storage is "where the new documents were found – but it was the place from where Trump’s lawyers sent two dozen boxes to the National Archives earlier this year."

theguardian.com/us-news/2022/d…
@JasonLeopold @hugolowell Unsurprisingly, Harrison reportedly was interviewed by the FBI last spring.

@JasonLeopold @hugolowell But here's the kicker: Before any of us learned this week that a firm Trump hired found two additional classified docs in a Florida storage facility, we knew that 3 Trump aides testified before a grand jury *last* week:

nytimes.com/2022/12/01/us/…
@JasonLeopold @hugolowell And among the three who testified the same day that a federal appeals court ended Trump's special master dreams? The man who could have been a cable rom com star, Beau Harrison:

NEW: As the FBI executes a search warrant at a Fulton County board of elections office, it's worth remembering that there is existing litigation between DOJ and Fulton County over DOJ's attempt to obtain records pertaining to the 2020 election. 1/
In October, and at the request of the Georgia Election Board, DOJ issued a subpoena to Fulton County for "all used and void ballots, stubs of all ballots, signature envelopes, and corresponding envelope digital files from the 2020 General Election in Fulton County." 2/
In its December 2025 civil lawsuit, DOJ claims it sought these records due to "unexplained anomalies in vote tabulation and storage related to the 2020 election.”

NEW: Folks have been asking why Attorney General Pam Bondi, in her letter to Tim Walz, fixated on DOJ’s obtaining MN’s voting data. The answer may lie in Trump’s public statements—and MN’s last three elections. 1/
On Jan. 9, Trump met with oil and gas executives at the White House in a meeting his administration then posted to YouTube. Roughly 54 minutes in, Trump was asked about the feds’ failure to share evidence of Renee Good’s killing with state officials. 2/

youtube.com/live/iaE8lw8_x…
Trump started by criticizing Gov. Walz and complaining about the “$19 billion” fraud uncovered in MN and mostly, according to him, perpetrated by Somali immigrants. But within a minute or so, he was talking about the elections. 3/

NEW: Comey moves to dismiss on grounds of multiple alleged instances of grand jury misconduct, stating that because the two-count indictment was never presented to the full grand jury, there was no actual indictment within the five-year statute of limitations for the two charged crimes.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
This is hardly Comey's only effort to dismiss the indictment. He has two fully briefed and already argued motions to dismiss: one on grounds of selective/vindictive prosecution and the other due to Lindsay Halligan's allegedly unlawful appointment.
Some expected that Comey would wait for Judge Michael Nachmanoff to decide whether, as a magistrate judge previously ruled, he should get the transcripts and other grand jury materials.

NEW: In order to prove vindictive prosecution, a defendant has to show they have been charged due to a genuine animus toward them on account of their exercise of constitutional or statutory rights. That's usually a very tough road to hoe. 1/
Enter Tish James (and her legal team, led by Abbe Lowell). Their brief tonight cites to an Exhibit A, a 112-page compilation of 360 of Trump's public statements dating back to the day after she opened her investigation of the Trump Org and him. 2/

Brief: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
That exhibit reflects a LOT of work but everything in it was already public. What I don't recall seeing before is Exhibit G, an August 2025 letter to Lowell from DOJ's "special attorney for mortgage fraud" Ed Martin. 3/

As I was looking for information about the appointment of Kelly Hayes, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Maryland, I found an interesting DOJ press release. It describes how U.S. Attorney vacancies should be filled. 1/
Specifically, it explains: “Pursuant to the Vacancy Reform Act, 28 U.S.C. § 546, the Attorney General has the authority to name a U.S. Attorney to serve on an interim basis for up to 120 days.” 2/
The press release continues, “After that time, if a successor isn’t nominated and confirmed, it falls to the district court to appoint a U.S. Attorney to serve until the confirmation of his or her successor.” 3/

On February 27, Attorney General Bondi told Kash Patel she'd learned the NY field office was sittting on thousands of pages of Epstein records in a sharp letter. 1/

justice.gov/ag/media/13913…
And then she gave a directive: "By 8:00 a.m. tomorrow, February 28, the FBI will deliver the full and complete Epstein files to my office, including all records, documents, audio and video recordings, and materials related to Jeffrey Epstein and his clients, regardless of how such information was obtained." 2/
Bondi continued, "There will be no withholdings or limitations to my or your access. The Department of Justice will ensure that any public disclosure of these files will be done in a manner to protect the privacy of victims and in accordance with law." 3/
