Allow US Person to bring you up to speed on this week in Trump. The J6 Committee interviewed Ivanka Trump and her husband Jared Kushner by video link. Details on what was disclosed have not been revealed, but it is assumed the Committee wants details on Trumpillini's activities during the assault on the Capitol. Kushner was not in the country when it happened, but the Committee spent eight hours with his wife and daughter of the former president. Reports are that she attempted to get her father to intervene to stop the riot in progress. The question now is: will the Committee seek testimony from the man at the top of the coup conspiracy?
The Manhattan District Attorney Alva Bragg was obliged to tell the press that the investigation of Trump for financial fraud was still on-going after his office received numerous inquiries about the status of the investigation from the media. Apparently, the district attorney is ready to proceed if additional evidence is uncovered, or an insider flips on the white collar crime boss. Bragg told the press his attorneys, "are reviewing new evidence."
John Eastman finally turned over his communication records previously withheld on grounds of attorney-client privilege after loosing his court case on the issue. New York Attorney General Letitia James wants Trump held in civil contempt for failing to turn over documents to her investigators. New York Superior Court Judge Arthur Engoron ruled in February that he had to release documents relevant to the Attorney General's investigation. He also rule that Ivanka and Trump must testify in a deposition. They are appealing that ruling. His attorneys did not turn over any documents despite given extra time to comply, instead they raised sixteen objections to the subpoena. They also presented an affidavit from one of his attorneys claiming Trump could not locate the documents sought, if they exist at all. It is clear Trump will go down fighting tooth and nail in true gangster style, making a criminal referral for his coup attempt all the more necessary and appropriate. James asked the court to fine Trump $10,000 for each day of non-compliance in order to coerce him to produce.
