Ryan J. Reilly “paints a vivid and urgent portrait of… disarray”

In reversal, Florida Bar says it is not investigating Trump loyalist Lindsey Halligan A Florida Bar official said in a letter last month that a probe into the former Justice Department attorney was pending.

The latest:

Attempted federal prosecutor Lindsey Halligan sent me a screenshot of a Trump Truth Social post which featured a screenshot of a Pam Bondi X post which said Lindsey Halligan “did a great job!”

If Dems had their own Fox News and other cogs of a propaganda machine, Andrew Paul Johnson would become a household name a la Willie Horton.

Police body cam footage shows DOGE knew Institute of Peace was private property during raid Footage obtained by The Handbasket’s lawsuit shows a hostile takeover on March 17, 2025.

SCOOP — Body camera footage obtained as a result of my lawsuit against the DC Metropolitan PD confirms DOGE and the Trump administration openly admitted they were entering private property when they raided the building on March 17, 2025. That didn't stop MPD from breaking down the doors.

DOJ, responding to our reporting: "Federal prosecutors from across the country work every day to pursue justice, which includes efforts to combat transnational crime."

Pardon Industry Offers Rich Offenders a Path to Trump

NEW: Pardon seekers are routinely being asked to pay $1m+ to lobbyists & lawyers claiming access to Trump, often with bonuses if clemency is granted.

I investigated the Trump Pardon Industrial Complex, & detailed the backstory behind 1 interesting pardon.

Justice Dept. Pushes for Charges Against Cuban Leaders

NYT: "If the administration does in fact seek charges against Cuba’s leaders to facilitate a snatch-and-grab operation inside Cuba like that against Mr. Maduro, it would be an extraordinary use of the criminal justice system to advance the White House’s geopolitical agenda."

Federal judge appears skeptical of Pentagon’s restrictions on press access Defense Department policy instituted last year prohibits gathering or publishing any information that isn’t authorized by the government.

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump in Jan. 6 case gets life sentence for child sex crimes Andrew Paul Johnson, authorities said, tried to keep one of his victims mum by floating the promise of money he was expecting to receive from the Justice Department.

Jan. 6 rioter pardoned by Trump in Jan. 6 case gets life sentence for child sex crimes

Reminder that a president can't just "announce" a permanent new DHS secretary by fiat; Mullin still has to get confirmed by the Senate. He needs 50 senators to support him (and there's a very good chance he'll get that).

A tense new Jan. 6 video shows Republican congressmen admonishing rioters trying to enter House chamber "You ought to be ashamed of yourself!" one Republican representative told rioters as they attempted to breach the House floor. "I’ve never had people act this way."

Trump's new DHS pick Markwayne Mullin has some relevant experience with homegrown violent extremism: www.nbcnews.com/politics/jus...

Trump says that Kristi Noem is stepping down as Homeland Security secretary The president said he would nominate Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace her.

"We cannot comment on ongoing investigations" is a thing you say to dodge a question at a press conference. If you write it as a quote-tweet, you're intentionally commenting.

“The law was clear, but it was never enforced. Shortly after the deadline to divest passed, President Trump issued an executive order purportedly granting an extension for TikTok to find a domestic owner and directed his Attorney General not to enforce the law.”

Trump frustrated with DHS secretary Kristi Noem and considering replacements, sources say No decision has been made by the president, but he has told lawmakers that he is unhappy with the Homeland Security Secretary's testimony this week before House and Senate committees, sources say.

Jeanine Pirro appears to be saying that the Biden autopen investigation is "ongoing." An investigation can technically be "ongoing," but still shelved. Especially when investigators can't even find a relevant criminal statute. www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

BREAKING: A group that seeks to increase the “reputational cost of corruption in America" sues over TikTok deal they say benefits Trump-backed investors who have "at times personally enriched him.”

DOJ shelves Biden autopen probe, failing to identify a relevant statute The probe came as President Donald Trump has repeatedly claimed former President Joe Biden used an autopen without knowing the contents of what he signed.

Tough to bring a criminal case when you can’t even identify a relevant statute, turns out.

Trump is still going after the press in court. Here’s where his lawsuits stand. The litigation grinds on even as the president complains that lawsuits against him are distracting.

“He’s not winning these cases. The problem is that he’s figuring out this scheme to use the law as a weapon that kind of cuts the courts out.”
