New York AG Letitia James said Mar-a-Lago was part of an alleged yearslong fraud scheme by Trump. Trump claimed Mar-a-Lago was worth $739 million, nearly 10 times its actual worth of $75 million, James said. In this aerial view, former U.S. President Donald Trump's Mar-a-Lago estate is seen on September 14, 2022 in Palm Beach, Florida. James' lawsuit brought a new intensity to just one of the many areas of legal jeopardy for the former president. In an appeal, the Justice Department said the decision would cause "irreparable harm" to efforts by the intelligence community to protect national security.
New York Attorney General Letitia James' office sued Trump, his children, and his business. "Trump falsely inflated his net worth by billions of dollars to further enrich himself and cheat the system," James' office said. James on Wednesday accused the Trump Organization of issuing financial statements that were in "clear violation" of accepted accounting principles. Many of the lawsuit's fraud allegations center on 10 years of Trump's statements of financial condition. Mazars walked away from the statements after James' office found that they repeatedly "misstated objective facts."
Judge Raymond Dearie grilled Trump's lawyers about the classification status of Mar-a-Lago records. Dearie was appointed "special master" at the request of Trump's team. "You can't have your cake and eat it," Dearie said after Trump's lawyers resisted confirming Trump's claim that the records had been declassified. Dearie's remarks were all the more noteworthy given that he was appointed "special master" at Trump's own request. "But Plaintiff does not actually assert—much less provide any evidence—that any of the seized records bearing classification markings have been declassified."
Trump's lawyers said classified Mar-a-Lago documents could be privileged because they contain his handwritten notes. Trump is backing up an order preventing DOJ from reviewing classified records seized from his home. They went on to note that according to court documents, some of the classified records seized from Mar-a-Lago "allegedly contain what appear to be President Trump's handwritten notes." In court filings, Trump's lawyers have not echoed his declassification claims, but they have asserted that a current president has absolute authority to declassify information. Ahead of that hearing, Trump's lawyers opposed Dearie's request for more information about the classification status of the seized documents.

Sen. Lindsey Graham said Donald Trump could "kill 50 on our side and it wouldn't matter." Graham's remarks were recorded in an upcoming book from two journalists, slated for release later this month. Trump in January 2016 said he could shoot somebody on Fifth Avenue and "wouldn't lose any voters." "Trump could kill 50 on our side and it wouldn't matter," Graham told journalists Susan Glasser and Peter Baker, whose new book, "The Divider: Trump in the White House, 2017-2021," details the exchange. Trump told his supporters in Sioux Center, Iowa.
George Conway accused former President Donald Trump of threatening to incite violence again. Conway said he's acting like he's "being persecuted for no valid reason" in relation to Mar-a-Lago. "He is absolutely encouraging people to engage in violence," Conway said on CNN. Recently, Trump said there would be "big problems" if he were indicted in relation to the probe. "By perpetrating that lie to the American people, he is absolutely encouraging people to engage in violence," Conway added.

Michael Avenatti was convicted of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft. AdvertisementA jury on Friday convicted Michael Avenatti of wire fraud and aggravated identity theft following a widely watched trial. Avenatti was accused, among other things, of stealing hundreds of thousands of dollars from Daniels while he represented her. "You lied to me, that's not respectful," Daniels said, though she did later acknowledge telling federal investigators that Avenatti was polite and respectful towards her. While making their case against Avenatti, prosecutors displayed text messages in which Daniels expressed deep frustration because she thought the publisher was withholding payment.

The legislation establishing it directed the committee to report on the entire set of "facts, circumstances, and causes" surrounding the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol. The January 6 committee report contains extensive documentation of forewarnings of violence that were percolating up from confidential sources, open-source analysts, and senior officials. On January 4, Senator Mark Warner, chair of the Senate intelligence committee, called the FBI's deputy director with his concerns. As the committee notes, a threat analyst noted a "tenfold uptick in violent online rhetoric targeting Congress and law enforcement." Looming over the January 6 committee's report is the report by the 9/11 Commission, which was far from perfect, but much more comprehensive and unsparing.
