  1. #11thCircuit: #Government Can Insist on #Secular Presenters in Intervention Program for #DomesticAbusers

    In #NussbaumervSecretary, #Florida Department of #Children and #Families, (11th Cir., Sept. 4, 2025), the U.S. 11th Circuit Court of Appeals rejected #freespeech and #freeexercise challenges to Florida's requirements for becoming certified as a provider in the state's batterers' intervention program.

  2. A federal judge in #Florida denied to unseal grand jury transcripts from the investigation of #JeffreyEpstein
    
The #DOJ —under increasing pressure from #Trump’s political base—petitioned to release records of the testimony of witnesses who appeared before the grand jury. But in a 12-page opinion Wednesday, Judge Robin Rosenberg said that she could not legally do so under guidelines governing grand jury secrecy set by the US Court of Appeals for the #11thCircuit.

  3. In response, the #DOJ asked the #11thCircuit US Court of Appeals in Atl on Tues AM to overturn #AileenCannon’s order.
    
Acc/to the request, the #SpecialCounsel turned over the report on Tues PM to Garland, who decides what portions of the report should be released publicly.

    Prosecutors say the report is 2 volumes. One outlines the mishandling of #ClassifiedDocuments & #obstruction case, & the other details the findings in the DC #ElectionInterference case against #Trump.

  4. #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith urges appeals court to reinstate #ClassifiedDocuments case against #Trump

    US District Judge #AileenCannon threw out the case…after concluding that Smith's appointment…was unconstitutional.

    Smith's team appealed to Atlanta-based #11thCircuit Court of Appeals, w/prosecutors saying in their #appeal that Cannon's decision is “at odds with widespread & longstanding appointment practices in the Department of Justice & across the government.”

  5. #AileenCannon ruled last month that #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith was unlawfully appointed because he was not confirmed for his position by the #Senate, tossing the 40-count #indictment against #Trump for allegedly keeping #ClassifiedDocuments & materials after leaving the WH & #obstruction of govt efforts to retrieve them. Smith & his team are finalizing their #appeal of that decision to the US Court of Appeals for the #11thCircuit, which is due Tues.

  6. …The US #11thCircuit Court of Appeals said last year that the #Georgia prosecution against #MarkMeadows should move forward in #StateCourt, concluding that fmr federal ofcls are not covered by that statute “removing” state cases against govt ofcls to federal court. Chief Judge William Pryor’s opinion for the court also said that “the events giving rise to this #criminal action were not related Meadows’s official duties.”

  7. #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith formally filed notice on Wed that he will appeal Judge #AileenCannon’s decision to dismiss #Trump’s 40-count indictment for allegedly mishandling #ClassifiedDocuments & obstructing efforts to retrieve them.
    
The appeal… is expected to land in the coming weeks in the Court of Appeals for the #11thCircuit….

    …Whatever the 11th Circuit decides in the Trump case could then be appealed to the #SCOTUS.

  8. Responding Mon, a spox w/the #SpecialCounsel's office said in a statement, "The dismissal of the case deviates from the uniform conclusion of all previous courts to have considered the issue that the Attorney General is statutorily authorized to appoint a Special Counsel."

    #JackSmith's office said Wed that they would not be commenting further.

    The filing indicates that Smith will appeal the decision to the #11thCircuit Court of Appeals.

  9. "The Special Counsel—reminding Judge Cannon that he is actually EMPLOYED BY THE DOJ—just notified her that the Attorney General has authorized his IMMEDIATE APPEAL of her ruling dismissing the Mar a Lago case because it’s DEVIATES from all prior court decisions affirming the validity of the Special Counsel’s office and funding."

  10. #Blum's group had asked the #judge to temporarily #block the #FearlessFund's "racially exclusive program" while the court considered the merits of the case. The judge said he would issue a written decision later.

    With a Sat deadline approaching for this year's #grant applications, Blum, who is #white, said his group will pursue an emergency appeal at the Atlanta-based #11thCircuit Court of Appeals.
