Don't forget: Trump urged his DOJ to investigate Dem connections to Epstein. If they investigate, they can withhold anything incriminating Trump on claims of there being an active investigation. Trump knew what he was doing.

Jack Smith has requested that Jim Jordan release the entire video of his 8-hour closed-door testimony which he gave this week to the House Judiciary Committee.

In April, a liberal candidate won a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court in a race that could impact the state’s congressional districts. Now, that victory could work against Republicans who were hoping the court would support its redistricting push.
