  1. After a testy 1hr hearing in federal court in DC, Judge Tanya #Chutkan granted a proposal by special counsel #JackSmith’s office to make its case about the limits of #Trump’s #immunity by Sept 26, w/other filings due in the weeks that follow.
    
Her scheduling order offers the first glimpse of how the case will proceed after #SCOTUS ruled presidents cannot be prosecuted for…official conduct, upending the Trump prosecution & forcing the #SpecialCounsel to seek a #SupersedingIndictment.

  3. NEW #TrumpIndictment & Appeal EXPLAINED

    #LeejaMiller

    DADDY JACK STRIKES BACK!! #SpecialCounselJackSmith filed an appeal in the #MaraLago #documentscase against Trump in the 11th Circuit on Monday, and then Tuesday he filed a #supersedingindictment against Trump for his role in #January6th. What's going on, and how will this affect the #election??

  4. In its decision on #immunity, #SCOTUS ruled that #Trump could not face #criminal charges related to any of his interactions w/ #DOJ ofcls, finding that a president’s dealings w/the #Justice Dept were part of the core *official* duties of his office.

    [You’d think #TheCrimeFraudException would render any dealings w/DOJ ofcls in furtherance of a crime “unofficial acts” FFS]

  6. The #SupersedingIndictment strips out some charges in order to help it survive #SCOTUS’ recent ruling granting former presidents broad #immunity for *official* acts in office.

    The new #indictment came just days before #Trump’s lawyers & prosecutors in the office of the #SpecialCounsel, #JackSmith, were scheduled to provide Judge #Chutkan who is overseeing the case w/their separate proposals for how to assess the impact on the case of the #SupremeCourt’s decision.

  8. The new #indictment …deletes all references to… fmr #DOJ ofcl #JeffreyClark.

    Clark held a Senate-confirmed post as head of DOJ’s #Environmental & #NaturalResources Division [despite previously arguing for LESS regulation on carbon emissions] & was serving as the acting head of DOJ’s Civil Division [w/zero qualifications] at the end of the #Trump admin when Trump considered a plan to install Clark as acting AG.

  10. Smith’s original 45-pg #indictment, unveiled last Aug, included claims that #Trump sought to use the #Justice Dept to advance what prosecutors contend was an unlawful & fraudulent effort to overturn #Biden’s victory. Those details, which #SCOTUS described as largely outside the reach of prosecutors, have been omitted from the new, shorter charging doc.

  14. Last month, #federal prosecutors charged #MichaelShvartsman, a close assoc of #Postolnikov, w/ #MoneyLaundering in a #SupersedingIndictment after previously charging him & 2 others in Jul w/ #InsiderTrading #DWAC shares…
    At least part of the #evidence against Shvartsman came from a CI for DHS, court filings show: in one March 2023 meeting w/the informant & an associate, Shvartsman mentioned a friend who owned a bank in Dominica & made bridge loans to #Trump Media.

  16. The 3rd #defendant, #DeOliveira, property mgr at #MarALago, was charged for the 1st time in the #SupersedingIndictment. He was to enter his plea Thurs to 4 counts for his alleged role in a scheme w/ #Trump & #Nauta to delete #SecurityFootage revealing MAL workers moving boxes of govt materials that feds had already demanded be returned.
    #DeOliveira was not #arraigned bc a FL-based atty had not yet notified the court they are representing De Oliveira — a req for #arraignments in So FL fed courts.

  18. Trump entered his plea thru his attys & was not present at the #hearing. Federal prosecutors had initially accused him of committing 37 #crimes in an #indictment filed in June & he pleaded not guilty. Prosecutors added 3 more charges in a July #SupersedingIndictment. #Trump pleaded not guilty to those #charges …on Thurs.
    
Waltine #Nauta… also pleaded not guilty. He faced 6 #charges in the initial #indictment alongside #Trump & was charged w/ 2 additional #crimes in the #SupersedingIndictment.

  20. After #JackSmith issued a #supersedingindictment of #DonaldTheDeplorable , adding charges of #ObstructionOfJustice and #EspionageAct violations, @Wikipedia threw some shade at the shady former #POTUS by posting a “Did you know…” segment about the discovery of the theatre where tyrannical Roman Emperor #Nero , known for ‘fiddling while Rome burned 🔥’, vainly “displayed the seized possessions of a former consul”! #LockHimUp 😂 👉 en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theatr

  22. Woodward is #counsel of record for #Nauta, & for some period of time also #Taveras — it’s unclear if he will continue. Many details in the #SupersedingIndictment leave the strong impression that Taveras is cooperating w/the #SpecialCounsel in some capacity — particularly the evidence surrounding his alleged convos w/ #DeOliveira about the server.

    “This is not rocket science,” Gillers said. “You can’t represent a cooperator & someone fighting an #indictment [like Nauta] in the same transaction.”

  24. A number of commentators in the media are comparing #DonaldTrump to a Mafia crime boss. As someone of Sicilian descent, I can attest that no self-respecting Mafia boss would have anything to do with #Trump

  30. The #new #charges, which accused #DeOliveira of being part of that #conspiracy, lay out in intricate detail efforts by #Nauta to speak w/De Oliveira about the #security camera footage & how long the footage was stored after the government sought to obtain it under a #subpoena.

    The #indictment contains an additional charge related to a #ClassifiedDocument that #Trump showed 2 people helping his fmr WH chief of staff #MarkMeadows write a book.

  32. …in late June of last year, #DeOliveira went to see #Taveras — who is identified only as #Trump #Employee4 — & told him that “‘the boss’ wanted the server deleted,” referring to the computer #server holding the #SecurityFootage.

    “What are we going to do?” the #indictment quoted De Oliveira as saying, after Taveras objected & said he would not know how & did not think he had the right to do so.

  36. The team of fed prosecutors working under #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith is currently prepared to add… “30 to 45 charges”… to the 37-count #indictment brought against #Trump on 8 June, either in a #SupersedingIndictment in the same FL court or in a different federal judicial district. In either case, they would do so using #evidence against TFG that has not yet been publicly acknowledged by the #DOJ, incl’g other #recordings prosecutors obtained which reveal Trump making #incriminating statements.

  37. …the #DOJ has made preparations to bring what is known as a “#SupersedingIndictment” — a 2nd set of #charges against an already-#indicted defendant that could include more serious #crimes — against the ex-president in the Southern District of Florida.
    But prosecutors may also choose to bring additional charges against #Trump in a different venue, depending on how they feel the case they have brought against him in is proceeding.

  38. Prosecutors are prepared to hit #Trump & his allies with new charges, sources say

    The #DOJ is prepared to seek #indictments against multiple figures in Trump’s orbit & may yet bring between 30 to 45 additional #criminal #charges against the former president in the coming weeks
