Trump Loses Big on Executive Privilege excerpt: "The court emphasizes that its decision comes in the context of a “rare and formidable alignment of factors.” First, that President Biden, the sitting President, refused to assert privilege over the documents requested by the Committee, having determined that doing so would “not in the best interest of the United States.” Second, that Congress is seeking information “vital” to its legislative purpose. Third, that Congress and the President have engaged in a process of negotiation and accommodation over the requested documents."
Jan. 6 panel claims Trump 'engaged in criminal conspiracy' excerpt: "Former President Trump may have committed a crime in his effort to keep the 2020 presidential election results from being certified, the House committee investigating the attack on the Capitol said in a court filing Wednesday evening. The development came in the committee’s legal battle to compel documents from John Eastman, the lawyer charged with drafting the strategy for the Jan. 6 certification. The panel said that Trump and Eastman had worked together to try to convince then-Vice President Mike Pence to obstruct Congress’s certification of the Electoral College votes. “Had this effort succeeded, the electoral count would have been obstructed, impeded, influenced, and (at the very least) delayed, all without any genuine legal justification and based on the false pretense that the election had been stolen. There is no genuine question that the President and Plaintiff attempted to accomplish this specific illegal result,” the committee wrote in its filing."

Jan 6 committee alleges Trump, others engaged in criminal conspiracy amid bid to overturn election In a Wednesday court filing, the special House committee investigating the deadly Jan. 6 attack said for the first time that it had gathered evidence indicating that former President Donald Trump and others "engaged in a criminal conspiracy to defraud the United States" by pushing false theories of election fraud and pressuring former Vice President Mike Pence to invalidate the 2020 election. "The evidence supports an inference that President Trump and members of his campaign knew he had not won enough legitimate state electoral votes to be declared the winner of the 2020 Presidential election during the January 6 Joint Session of Congress," the committee disclosed in court documents. "But the President nevertheless sought to use the Vice President to manipulate the results in his favor."
Trucker convoy fizzles. Trucker convoy protest in Washington DC flops as no-one shows up excerpt: "A trucker rally at the Washington Monument failed to materialise as just a handful of protesters showed up at the event. The National Parks Service had given permission for the demonstration at the Sylvan Theater and organisers expected several thousand people would rally against Covid-19 mandates. But in the end there was more press and police at the event than protesters, according to The Daily Beast. “Where are the trucks?” organiser Kyle Sefcik asked during his speech. Mr Sefcik is an MMA fighter and independent candidate for governor in Maryland, and also the organiser of Freedom Convoy USA 2022, which was due to arrive in DC on Tuesday but was scrapped when just five trucks showed up in Las Vegas."
