(Corcoran’s notes also reportedly described “Trump’s facial expressions and reactions whenever they discussed the subpoena.”) Meanwhile, on Wednesday, the National Archives and Records Administration is set to turn over “16 records that show Trump…had knowledge of the correct declassification process while he was president” and did not follow it.Ī Florida school has banned the poem read at Joe Biden’s inauguration after a parent complained it contained “indirect hate messages,” part of a disturbing state-wide trend of blocking discussions about race and gender.Ī parent of two students at the Bob Graham Education Center in Miami Lakes challenged Amanda Gorman’s The Hill We Climb and four other books in March, arguing they were not age-appropriate. And on Monday, The Guardian reported that Trump attorney Evan Corcoran had handed over dozens of pages of notes, which showed, among other things, that Corcoran advised the ex-president against retaining any government documents after his May subpoenaed was issued.

The Wall Street Journal reports that special counsel Jack Smith “has all but finished obtaining testimony and other evidence in his criminal investigation into whether former President Donald Trump mishandled classified documents at his Mar-a-Lago resort,” according to sources familiar with the matter. And what an absolute travesty that would be!
