Rise and shine. Five days after he became the first former US president to be indicted, Donald Trump today is set to surrender in lower Manhattan to be booked, hear the charges and enter his initial plea: Not guilty.

BREAKING: Trump has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury for crimes connected to the alleged payment of illegal hush-money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Answering one immediate question that might come to mind: An indictment in NY doesn't stop DOJ or the Fulton Co. DA's office from pursuing charges against Trump. But a logjam of cases likely will pose logistical challenges, esp. as 2024 campaign heats up bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Statement from Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg's office: “This evening we contacted Mr. Trump’s attorney to coordinate his surrender to the Manhattan D.A.’s Office for arraignment on a Supreme Court indictment, which remains under seal." Arraignment date TBD

New: Donald Trump has called Special Counsel Jack Smith a “fully weaponized monster” whose Obama-era ties made him a “political hit man.”

One of Trump's own lawyers shares some of those ties, and used to call Smith something else: a colleague and friend.

A deep dive into the five years that Trump Special Counsel Jack Smith and Trump defense lawyer Jim Trusty served as DOJ Criminal Division section chiefs -- Smith tackling public corruption, Trusty going after gangs and organized crime
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
Smith and Trusty respected and supported each other during their time at the Justice Dept., former colleagues say. Now, they're potential adversaries in what could be the biggest federal case in US history bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

NEW: DOJ won't back Trump's absolute immunity claim against civil lawsuits seeking to hold him liable for the Jan. 6 attack -- allegations of inciting violence, wouldn't fall within presidential duties, US says.

Doc, with more to come: assets.bwbx.io/documents/user… ImageImage
Footnote #1, alluding to the elephant in the room: " the United States does not express any view regarding the potential criminal liability of any person for the events of January 6, 2021, or acts connected with those events" Image
NOW: DOJ won't back Trump's absolute immunity claim against lawsuits seeking to hold him liable for the Jan. 6 attack -- allegations of inciting violence wouldn't fall under presidential duties, US says (w/out taking a position on whether claims are valid)

Dueling briefs are in from DOJ and NYT/Politico lawyers on media petition to unseal info about Trump or others reportedly claiming exec privilege re: Jan. 6 investigation. The judge asked for extra briefing on her authority to unseal docs related to grand jury proceedings...
DOJ's brief: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NYT/Politico brief: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
DOJ broadly agrees with media petitioners that the court (in this case, Chief Judge Beryl Howell) generally has the power to unseal judicial opinions related to grand jury matters as long as it doesn't reveal info that's still protected. They diverge on how to think about that

Just in: A NY federal judge denied a request to keep under seal the amount of $ Trump's 2016 campaign agreed to pay in attorney fees and a plaintiff incentive award to settle a long-running fight with an ex-staffer over NDA agreements. More to come

Prev: bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
(ack just noted the duplicate "A" and "agreements" in that last tweet, pardon!)
NEW: A federal judge denied a request to keep secret the amount of $ that Trump's 2016 campaign agreed to pay to settle a long-running court fight over NDAs that staffers and others signed.

Parties have until Feb. 3 to say if the deal is going forward:

New: The US Supreme Court’s inconclusive report on the source of last year’s leaked draft opinion raises more big questions than it answers, including, critically: Were justices questioned and subject to the same process as staff?

From me + @swillmer:
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
The report was a disappointment across the spectrum, albeit for different reasons.

"Embarrassing" for the court to focus on the leak versus substance of stripping abortion rights, other potential ethics breaches, says @LiptonLubet of Take Back the Court
bloomberg.com/news/articles/…
"Huge blow" for the court that the leaker could get away with it, says @JCNSeverino of Judicial Crisis Network
