NEW: John Eastman, testifying in his disbarment trial, invoked “attorney-client privilege” tonight when asked about Trump-world chatter that Chuck Grassley might preside on Jan. 6.

Asked who holds that privilege, Eastman replied: “President Trump.”

politico.com/news/2023/09/0…
In a long day of testimony. Eastman described his relationship with Ken CHESEBRO, who he said wrote a paragraph and changed some words in his infamous two-page memo re Pence’s power.

Eastman also said he had little to no contact with Chesebro prior to late-December 2020 — well after the Dec. 14 elector meeting — and that he never saw Chesebro’s newly unearthed Dec. 6, 2020 memo until this week.

Eastman also claimed privilege when asked about contacts with Georgia codefendant Robert CHEELEY over an effort to arrange a call with Georgia legislative leaders.

Bar counsel read straight from the GA indictment as they grilled Eastman about this.

politico.com/news/2023/09/0…
Much of Eastman’s testimony was familiar, but it was still extraordinary to see a man under indictment submit to extensive sworn testimony, in an unrelated proceeding, about the very topic he’s charged for in another state.

JUST IN: Just left. Courtroom Leo BOZELL, the son of prominent conservative media critic Brent Bozell, was found guilty of 10 charges related to breaching the Capitol on Jan. 5 — including obstruction and assault

Judge Bates delivered the verdict while Bozell’s family looked on.
In issuing the bench trial verdict, Judge Bates said Leo Bozell’s testimony was “simply not credible.”

Bozell pushed past police lines and entered the Capitol, after smashing two windows with a metal object. He was also convicted of two counts of destruction of govt property
He later surged to the Senate floor and, while there, forced a C-Span camera to face the floor so it wouldn’t capture rioters’ movements.

In run up to Jan. 6 he texted associates about desire to “take the Capitol and hang those pedo-satanistic traitors.”

The special grand jury's recommendations were not binding, and the report shows some significant dissent on the call for indicting Graham, Loeffler and many of the false electors.

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Mehta is reading instructions to the jury in the NAVARRO contempt of Congress case. That will be followed by closing arguments and then deliberations. Conceivable we could have a verdict early this afternoon.
AUSA Elizabeth Aloi: "Our government only works when people play by the rules and it only works when people are held accountable when they do not. When a person intentionally and deliberately chooses to defy a congressional subpoena, that is a crime."
WOODWARD begins by emphasizing that the defense basically agrees with the government's facts but accuses the government of leaning into harrowing details of Jan. 6 to stain Navarro. Image

NEW: A new tranche of documents reviewed by POLITICO — which are also in the hands of Jack Smith — reveal the ubiquitous but little-known role of Katherine FRIESS in Rudy GIULIANI’s effort to stoke election fraud claims.

Details here w/ @woodruffbets

politico.com/news/2023/09/0…
FRIESS, a national security consultant with deep DC roots, helped facilitate efforts to fund their operations, circulated a draft of an email to the White House to obtain security clearances for herself, Rudy and others, and traveled to Antrim County.

politico.com/news/2023/09/0…
Friess privately raised concerns about the sufficiency of some of the fraud data Rudy & co had been promoting when asked by members of Congress for concrete evidence.

And when it was all over, she seemingly went dark.

HAPPENING NOW: Ken CHESEBRO's attorney arguing in court that the racketeering conspiracy is so wide-ranging that his client could be sitting through months of testimony that has nothing to do with him. Would be better to sever the cases, he says.
Watch the hearing here:
The thrust for Chesebro: I don't want to be on trial with Sidney Powell, who did a bunch of stuff I had nothing to do with. Especially Coffee County.

The thrust for Powell: Other lawyers (ahem, Chesebro, ahem) had much more to do w broader alleged conspiracy.
