JUST IN: Unsealed filing in Trump Florida case says there were two rounds of classified documents discovered at Mar-a-Lago *after* the FBI search. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

Image
Image
Judge HOWELL also found last year that prosecutors provided sufficient evidence that Trump sought to hide classified documents from prosceutors. It was part of her ruling granting crime-fraud exception to attorney-client privilege. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
Image
This entire opinion from Judge Howell assessing the evidence prosecutors presented on Trump's "willful retention" of classified docs and efforts to obstruct the probe is extraordinary.

She described Nauta as "dissembling" in his FBI interview as well.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…
For example, Howell can't fathom how Trump missed the four classified docs in his own bedroom that his lawyer found in December 2022. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…

NEW: Attorney found four classified documents in Trump’s Mar-a-Lago bedroom in December 2022 — four months after the FBI search, newly unsealed court documents shows.

MORE: A witness connected to Trump’s Save America PAC scanned and stored documents from the box containing those materials on a laptop provided by the PAC, per Howell’s opinion. politico.com/news/2024/05/2…
Image
NOTABLE: Howell’s opinion was actually unsealed because Trump’s lawyers appended it to their claim of prosecutorial misconduct — citing this footnote in which Howell quotes a procedural text. politico.com/news/2024/05/2…
Image
JUST IN: Chief Judge Boasberg has *denied* Walt Nauta’s request to transfer some grand jury materials from DC to Florida, says Nauta failed to make specific case.

NEW: Two federal prosecutors who characterized the Jan. 6 attack as a "mob of rioters" were placed on leave this morning.

politico.com/news/2025/10/2…Image
The sentencing memo by Carlos Valdivia and Samuel White noted that Taylor Taranto, pardoned by Trump but facing sentencing for other crimes, spread "conspiracy theories" about the attack. It also noted that Taranto stalked Barack Obama's neighborhood after Trump posted (and Taranto reposted) his address on Truth Social. politico.com/news/2025/10/2…Image
UPDATE: The original sentencing memo has been removed from the court docket, an unusual maneuver as new prosecutors take over the case.

BREAKING: Judge Immergut has called a 10PM (ET) hearing on Trump's effort to circumvent her National Guard order by calling up California troops.
NEW: Judge Immergut could quickly halt Trump's deployment of CA guard troops to Portland, a workaround that tested her warning that Trump's initial callup was illegal and based on false claims about the unrest facing ICE.

@joshgerstein @jonesblakej UPDATE: Hegseth today called up 400 members of the Texas National Guard, with Gov. Abbott's apparent permission, to be deployed "where needed, including in the cities of Portland and Chicago." politico.com/news/2025/10/0…Image

BREAKING: A federal judge has granted a restraining order blocking President Trump's call-up of the National Guard in Portland.

storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
Judge IMMERGUT, a Trump appointee to the bench, ruled that Trump's call-up was based on false claims about unrest in Portland and that Trump's own statements were "simply untethered to the facts." storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
MORE: Immergut issued a stark warning that the efforts by Trump to make a bad-faith justification to call up the guard risked plunging the country into a form of unconstitutional military rule.

Trump now going after the rank-and-file FBI agents who responded to help restore order to an overrun Capitol on Jan. 6 — falsely accusing them based on inaccurate/misleading reports yesterday of being agitators in the crowd. Image
The reporting Trump claims supports this allegation … simply doesn’t.
NEW: Trump falsely suggested today that rank-and-file FBI agents fomented the Jan. 6 attack that a mob of his supporters unleashed on the Capitol, leaning into conspiracy theories as he accuses a second FBI director of committing crimes.

Over the weekend, we wrote about how dozens of judges have found ICE's new detention policy — seeking to lock up millions of people facing deportation without a chance for bond — is illegal.

Last night, four more judges added to the growing list: politico.com/news/2025/09/2…
One detainend man has lived in the US for 32 years with no criminal record. Judge Sherriff ordered his release yesterday: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image
Judge Boulware found that another man — who does have a criminal history of driving infractions and a DUI — nevertheless should receive a bond hearing rather than mandatory detention, in part because of some extreme factors in his case. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…Image

Trump criticizes Pam Bondi for not charging his adversaries quickly enough, in a Truth Social post that looks a lot like a DM. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…Image
Trump reposted the message makes explicit he's referring to Lindsey Halligan, his onetime personal lawyer who now works in the WH. truthsocial.com/@realDonaldTru…Image
Most logical read of this: Trump wants Pam Bondi to name Lindsey Halligan interim U.S. attorney in EDVA so she can charge Letitia James, which he says is a "great case" and that the delay in charging her is hurting his reputation.
