NEWS: Overnight, Georgia election worked Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss moved for “severe” sanctions in against Rudy Giuliani, who they say failed to preserve or produce key evidence in their defamation lawsuit against him.

Read their 44-page motion:

.storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
It includes this Dec. 7, 2020 text exchange in which Boris EPSHTEYN puts out an “urgent POTUS request” for examples of election fraud that aren’t necessarily proven but are “easy to understand.”

Rudy offered up the Freeman/Moss video.

NEW: Georgia election workers suing Rudy for defamation say he should forfeit the suit for failing to preserve and produce key evidence.

They say a near-settlement collapsed in recent days.

MORE: There's acutally a *lot* more in these Rudy filings. Most notable is Rudy's Oct. 2022 privilege log, which references:

-Draft press releases for states re: alternate electors (from Chesebro)
-Doc labeled "POTUS call" with GA speaker Ralston

https://t.co/rUvRxxsUrHpolitico.com/news/2023/07/1…
And maybe most interesting part of the log: Several versions of a document titled "POTUS findings," dated Dec. 16-17. That's the dates Trump considered issuing "findings" justifying the seizure of voting machines.

One doc references "RG edits."

JUST IN: Judge Howell threatens Rudy Giuliani with contempt of court and other “severe” sanctions for failing to provide adequate discovery to Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss in their defamation suit— despite repeated court orders. Image
She’s also ordering Rudy to pay about $90,000 in their attorney’s fees for recent motion. Image
But wait … there’s more: In a separate 20-page opinion, Howell is also ordering a more fulsome privilege log from Bernie KERIK, who she chided for delaying his responses to Moss/Freeman and participating in a “misinformation” campaign after the 2020 election. Image

JUST IN: Trump calls for *lengthy* delay of documents trial, suggests it may not be possible prior to the 2024 election. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2387…
Trump appears to presuppose he will win the GOP nomination, saying he will be busy right up until Nov. 5, 2024. He also notes he and his lawyers are pretty busy preparing for Trump's other criminal and civil matters. https://t.co/0NLmPJtej1s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2387…
MORE: The onus is now on Judge CANNON, who must choose between DOJ's extraordinarily short trial schedule, Trump's extraordinarily long one, or chart a middle course (which is hard to do with a presidential election calendar in between).

NEWS: A disciplinary committee of the DC Bar association has recommended that Rudy Giuliani be *disbarred* for "frivolous" and "destructive" efforts to overturn the 2020 election in support of Trump.

politico.com/news/2023/07/0…
"The misconduct here sadly transcends all his past accomplishments. It was unparalleled in its destructive purpose and effect. He sought to disrupt a presidential election and persists in his refusal to acknowledge the wrong he has done." politico.com/news/2023/07/0…
The panel has been deliberating for months after a series of hearings that featured testimony from Rudy himself, plus several close associates. politico.com/news/2023/07/0…

Prosecutors say that James Taranto, a newly arrested Jan. 6 defendant who had a van full of weapons in Barack Obama's neighborood last month, came to D.C. two months ago in response to Speaker McCarthy's offer of access to Jan. 6 footage to defendants. https://t.co/GmcT0hOhV6s3.documentcloud.org/documents/2386…
MORE: Taranto also made threatening comments about McCarthy and professed a blan to detonate explosives at NIST before he was apprehended in Obama's neighborhood. https://t.co/4sJEDSAXNRs3.documentcloud.org/documents/2386…




Also, his name is TAYLOR* Taranto. No idea where "James" came from.

While you were watching SCOTUS: The federal appeals court in D.C. rejected a challenge by three GOP lawmakers (MTG, Massie, Norman) to the House's mask mandate in the last Congress, which resulted in fines for violations.

Notably, it's RAO (a Trump-appointed judge) who writes the opinion for the unanimous panel.

She agrees that speech/debate clause prohibits this lawsuit.
