w/ @joshgerstein

@joshgerstein ELLIS, crying as she speaks, is addressing the court.

"I believed that challenging the results on behalf of President Trump shoudl be pursued in a just and legal way."

She said she "relied on others" to give her evidence of election fraud.
ELLIS: "If I knew then what I know now, I would have declined to represent Donald Trump in these post-election challenges."

NEW: Prosecutors' plea to Judge Chutkan to reimpose her gag order on Trump is a remarkable portrayal of a former president as an active danger — not just to the trial but to the physical safety of witnesses.

And they say he knows it but doesn't care.

Special counsel cites Jan. 6 defendant Taylor Taranto's response to Trump's social media post that linked to an article featuring Barack Obama's home address. Taranto was later arrested in Obama's neighborhood with guns in his van.

They also cite Marc Short's decision to alert the Secret Service after Trump told Pence he was going to publicly attack him for refusing to go along with his election gambit.

And of course they cite his new post about Mark Meadows. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NEW: Speaker Mike Johnson played a more prominent role than previously understood in Donald Trump’s bid to remain in power — they traded phone calls + discussed legal strategy repeatedly in weeks leading up to Jan. 6.

A deep dive w/ @nicholaswu12

politico.com/news/2023/10/2…
Johnson’s push culminated in an impassioned closed-door meeting with GOP colleagues on Jan. 5, advocating for sustaining objections to the election results — and facing pushback from 2 lawmakers who helped make him speaker today: Chip Roy and Don Bacon.

politico.com/news/2023/10/2…
Johnson revealed numerous phone calls with Trump in the weeks after the Nov. 3 election and in mid-Nov 2020 described the allegations about Dominion voting machines being rigged as having “a lot of merit.” politico.com/news/2023/10/2…

JUST IN: Prosecutors have filed their lengthy response to Trump’s effort to dismiss the Washington, DC charges against him by claiming presidential immunity.

Despite his claims, they say, there are no parallels to Lincoln or Washington in his conduct. Details Tk Image
The government cites Aaron Burr to point out that former presidents /VPs can be prosecuted for conduct while in office.

NEW: Judge Chutkan's gag order marks a new phase of Trump's life as criminal defendant -- but it also raised a series of unanswered questions about how it will work.

@joshgerstein and I explore them here:

politico.com/news/2023/10/1…
Image
1) The big unanswered question: How will Chutkan enforce violations? She could impose monetary fines, social media restrictions, in-court scoldings and even pretrial incarceration. The order doesn't hint at a framework or guide for any such punishments.

politico.com/news/2023/10/1…
2) Chutkan's written order applies the gag to "interested parties." That could mean simply Trump, is lawyers and the special counsel's office. But the phrase is vague and undefined in the order. politico.com/news/2023/10/1…

NEW: It’s hard to imagine a more consequential moment for Trump — other than the verdict itself — than an order by Judge Chutkan sharply curbing his penchant for invective against his perceived enemies. politico.com/news/2023/10/1…
Image
But Trump has spent a year fashioning the justice system as his enemy — assailing witnesses who have testified against him and relitigating the conduct at the heart of the charges against him

That doesn’t work when you’re a criminal defendant. The story:

HAPPENING NOW: Trump gag order hearing is approaching. Spotted on the line for the public gallery: Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene.
