JUST IN: Jack Smith has filed a response to Trump's claim that he was entitled to declare the classified docs he took home with him as "personal" records. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
The docs Trump stashed at Mar-a-Lago are nothing like Reagan's diaries, Smith argues. He didn't create them and they aren't a reflection of his personal thoughts. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
MORE: Smith also thrashes Trump's attempt to assert presidential immunity for is Florida indictment as "so wholly without merit that it is difficult to understand it except as part of a strategic effort for delay." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
This is a remarkable document in which Smith compares Trump's actions to a long list of high-profile people accused of mishandling classified info. In a nutshell, none of them were as brazenly obstructive as Trump, he agues. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
MORE: Smith says that Trump's claim to possess a DOE security clearance after leaving office is incorrect.

MORE: Prosecutors got *lots* of warrants on Walt Nauta. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

EVEN MORE: Prosecutors say Nauta brought Trump boxes to review, but Trump cut off that review after looking at 15 boxes and ordered only those shipped to NARA, even though there were another 70-80 left in storage. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NEW: Jack Smith agued today that Trump's handling of classified docs was significantly more egregious than: Joe Biden, Hillary and Bill Clinton, Mike Pence, James Comey, David Petraeus, Sandy Berger, John Deutch and Deborah Birx.

BREAKING: Judge Engelmeyer has *denied* the Trump administration’s bid to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury material. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image

MORE: Engelmeyer says he reviewed the grand jury material and confirmed there is virtually nothing in it that isn’t public already. It would “not reveal new information of any consequence.” storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image

NEW: Donald Trump may be off the hook for his alleged crimes, but his allies are still facing charges in five states — including a case against fake electors that goes before Nevada's Supreme Court tomorrow

A look at the zombie cases and what comes next. politico.com/news/2025/08/0…Image
In Arizona, where Trump allies like Mark Meadows, Rudy Giuliani and John Eastman still face prosecution, AG Kris Mayes is fighting to salvage her grand jury indictment or else go back to the drawing board.

An appeals court is likely to rule in late summer

In Georgia, Trump is still technically a defendant but is unlikely to ever see the inside of a courtroom. The case is also a trainwreck, frozen by questions about prosecutorial misconduct that must be resolved even before thorny are resolved. politico.com/news/2025/08/0…Image

NEWS: Trump has withdrawn Alina Habba's nomination to be US attorney in New Jersey, part of a multistep maneuver intended to keep her in the position as acting US attorney beyond an initial Friday deadline.
Here's how it works:

1) Habba resigns as interim US attorney, ahead of a Friday deadline
2) Trump withdraws Habba's nomination to take the job permanently
3) AG Bondi appoints Habba First Assistant US attorney
4) Habba automatically becomes acting US attoreny bc of the vacancy.
The reason Trump has to withdraw her nomination is because the Federal Vacancies Reform Act prohibits the nominee for a Senate-confirmed office from holding the post on an "acting" basis.

NEW: A batch of newly revealed text messages and emails from fired DOJ attorney Erez Reuveni show in real time how DOJ officials handled court orders related to the Alien Enemies Act, Kilmar Abrego Garcia and more.

They lend contemporaneous support to Reuveni's claim that Emil Bove suggested telling a court "fuck you." politico.com/news/2025/07/1…Image
There's a lot to unpack in the texts and emails between Reuveni and his colleagues. They joke morbidly about beign fired, and are grateful Boasberg was on vacation when the AEA crisis erupted. politico.com/news/2025/07/1…Image
Reuveni repeatedly told people inside the administration that Boasberg had ordered DHS not to deplane people after they landed in El Salvador. There seemed to be no ambiguity until ... politico.com/news/2025/07/1…Image

HAPPENING NOW: Judge Xinis is pressing DOJ on why they claimed on May 27 they had no power to bring Abrego Garcia back to the US evne though they had secretly secured a grand jury indictment against him 6 days earlier.
DOJ attorney now contradicts the government's sworn testimony from Tennessee criminal case, saying Abrego Garcia criminal probe began before April 28. Xinis presses her on this and she says she can't explain the contradiction.
XINIS is incredulous at how little information DOJ has about what played out when they're trying to get her to dismiss the case. So far DOJ is basically shrugging and it's just agitating the judge further.
