Former President Donald Trump called for the jailing of former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyoming) and the rest of the January 6 Committee for “withholding information” about their investigation into his actions during the U.S. Capitol riot.
Trump made this claim based on a report from an obscure website that disputed the testimony from a former White House staffer Cassidy Hutchinson.
In June 2022, Hutchinson appeared at the House Committee’s sixth public hearing regarding the Capitol riots.
She testified that Tony Ornato, the White House deputy chief of operations, called her into his office and shared a story that Agent Bobby Engel, head of Trump’s Secret Service detail, reported shared to him moments before.
He told Hutchinson that the former president entered a transport vehicle but was “irate” when told he could not go to the Capitol, saying that he was “the f—ing President”, and had demanded the driver...

A federal appeals court has rejected Mark Meadows’ bid to move his Georgia election interference case out of state court.
The court ruled that Meadows, who served as chief of staff under Donald Trump, will have to stand trial in Atlanta. While Meadows could appeal his ruling to the U.S. Supreme Court, the case is still likely to be held in Fulton County.
Meadows thought he would get a more favorable jury pool in federal court and argued that his role as chief of staff allowed him to do almost anything on Trump’s behalf.
Meadow’s appeal was heard by Chief Judge William Pryor and Circuit Judges Robin Rosenbaum and Nancy Abudu. All three voted to reject his plea.
“Meadows cannot point to any authority for influencing state officials with allegations of election fraud,” Pryor wrote regarding his decision. “At bottom, whatever the chief of staff’s role...

A binder containing highly classified information regarding Russia’s efforts to meddle with the 2016 election disappeared from the West Wing at the end of Donald Trump’s presidency —- and has never been found, according to a report from CNN.
The binder, described as 10 inches thick and containing a trove of information on the FBI’s “Crossfire Hurricane” Russia investigation, was moved from the CIA’s headquarters to the White House days before Trump left office so the former president could declassify its contents.

Mark Meadows is being sued by the publisher of his book, who has accused the former White House chief of staff of violating an agreement with All Seasons Press by making false statements regarding Donald Trump’s claims about the 2020 election.
The company filed the lawsuit after ABC News reported that Meadows received immunity to testify before a grand jury in the investigation into Trump’s false election fraud claims.
“Meadows, the former White House Chief of Staff under Donald J. Trump, promised and represented that ‘all statements contained in the work are true and based on reasonable research for accuracy,’ and that he ‘has not made any misrepresentations to the Publisher about the work,'” the publishing company wrote in the suit.

Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson said that ex-President Donald Trump is paranoid he will be “poisoned.”
Hutchinson’s new book, Enough, details the president’s phobia that can make dining problematic for him.
Hutchinson recently told comedian Jimmy Kimmel on his show, “[Trump] does have a very potent fear of being poisoned… So he uses and prefers the small Heinz glass ketchup bottles because he likes to hear his valet or whoever’s serving him his meal, he likes to hear the ‘pop’” when the bottle opens.
Her comments were in response to Kimmel’s reference to her testimony in front of the House committee in the investigation of the January 6 riot at the Capitol.
Hutchinson said she found ketchup on the wall with a shattered plate in the West Wing dining room after Trump threw his meal in anger.

In her newly published book Enough, former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson claims Rudy Giuliani groped her during her time working for former President Donald Trump.
Hutchinson, 26, who delivered testimony to the congressional committee that investigated the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, claims that Giuliani groped her on the day of the riot.
In her book, Hutchinson described meeting with Giuliani backstage at a speech of Trump’s before a mob of his supporters stormed the Capitol building in a protest against the results of the 2020 election. Hutchinson asserts that the former New York mayor put his hand under her skirt during this time.
“I fight against the tension in my muscles and recoil from Rudy’s grip,” Hutchinson writes in her book.
Former Trump ally John Eastman was also present during the incident, Hutchinson alleges.

The Writers Guild of America went on strike on May 2, and work on all television and film projects was stopped immediately by guild members. Production was able to continue on some projects that already had completed scripts, but since the nature of late-night talk shows requires timely jokes, they have all been off the air for exactly five months.
But, thanks to last week’s deal between the WGA and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP), all of the late-night shows will return to the air on Monday, Oct. 2 with brand new episodes. As The Streamable noted last week, because these types of shows are generally day-to-day operations, they are able to get back to airing new episodes almost immediately.

Mark Meadows burned so many papers in his office fireplace during his final months as Donald Trump’s chief of staff that his wife had to dry clean his clothes to rid them of the “bonfire smell,” according to his former senior aide Cassidy Hutchinson’s new memoir.
Hutchinson served as a key witness in the House committee’s investigation into the Capitol insurrection on January 6, 2021. Her book, Enough, was published on Tuesday and included incriminating details about other members of the Trump administration.
The ex-Meadows aide previously testified to the House committee that she had seen her boss burning documents in his office upwards of a dozen times, and wrote in her memoir that she “would sometimes find [Meadows] leaning over the fire, feeding papers into it, watching to make sure they burned.”

Though the SAG-AFTRA strike is still in effect, late night will return starting on Friday with a new episode of HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher.” It’s a timeline that puts late night in an odd position: Which guests can appear on late night when the actors’ strike is still in progress?
Luckily, we have an answer to that question thanks to daytime television and SAG-AFTRA’s own rules.
Why can late night return during the SAG-AFTRA strike?
The state of late night is a little bit confusing, because several hosts have also done acting work and are part of SAG-AFTRA. For example, Jimmy Fallon starred in “Fever Pitch” and John Oliver starred in “Community,” as well as the live-action “Lion King.”
Because late-night shows fall under the Network Television Code, these striking performers can return to their jobs. Late night is officially part of what’s called...

Hutchinson, the former White House aid who came to fame when she testified before the the Jan. 6 committee about Trump throwing his dishes at the wall and other details about what went down behind the scenes as the riot raged, appeared Tuesday on “The Last Word with Lawrence O’Donnell” to promote her book, “Enough.”
O’Donnell asked Cassidy at one point what she would say to the two co-defendants in Trump’s documents-handling case who now face charges of their own in Florida.
After a long pause, she replied: “I would say, think long and hard about where your loyalties lie and who you are and who you want to be. Do you want to protect somebody that sees you as expendable, that sees you as their shield?...

Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson wants everyone to know: she never dated Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Florida).
Hutchinson’s new book, Enough, was released on Tuesday. In it, she details her experiences working for the White House during Trump’s administration, including inappropriate moments with Gaetz.
One story claims that Gaetz “brushed his thumb across [her[ chin” and asked her, “Has anyone ever told you that you’re a national treasure?”
In another instance, Hutchinson recalls Gaetz allegedly knocking on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy‘s (R-California) cabin door during a Camp David retreat, looking for Hutchinson. When asked what he needed, he allegedly claimed that “he was lost and needed [Hutchinson] to escort him back to his cabin.” McCarthy told him “to get a life” before closing the door.

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows and five other co-defendants pleaded not guilty in the Georgia election interference case on Tuesday. The pleas came after Politico reported earlier in the day about a new trend seems to be emerging among those charged alongside Donald Trump: shift the blame onto the former president.
Thus far, 18 of the 19 defendants, including Trump, have pleaded not guilty. Hearings and court documents reviewed by Politico contain hints that some of them may be planning to point their finger at the former president in order to save themselves.

MSNBC host Ari Melber was celebrated by fans on social media Monday for an exchange he had with Congressman Matt Gaetz on his show. Melber pressed Gaetz hard about the accusations that he had sought a blanket pardon from Donald Trump before Trump left office.
Gaetz was first accused of doing so in April, 2021, but the accusations came back into the spotlight in 2022, when they were mentioned by three different former Trump employees who testified during the Jan. 6 committee hearings.
But Gaetz remained absolutely unfazed by the encounter, sticking to the denials he’s given for nearly 2 years, and responding to Melber’s questioning with terse answers delivered through a toothy, smug grin. You can watch that encounter above right now.

“Why should I be limited… just because someone has made an accusation?” Perry told This Week host George Stephanopoulos on Sunday when he asked if Perry would pledge not to serve on the investigation into the Jan. 6 committee.

Updated: Days after the January 6 Committee recommended four staggering criminal charges against former president Donald Trump, the panel this evening released its final report.
“Our country has come too far to allow a defeated president to turn himself into a successful tyrant by upending our democratic institutions, fomenting violence, and, as I saw it, opening the door to those in our country whose hatred and bigotry threaten equality and justice for all Americans,” Committee Chairman Bennie Thompson wrote in his opening statement.
The 845-page document is here.
CNN and MSNBC covered the release as breaking news, but Fox News largely avoided it as the report came during the 9 Pm hour of The Ingraham Angle.
The release comes after the committee began to release transcripts of committee interviews, including those with Cassidy Hutchinson, the former aide to chief of staff Mark Meadows, who detailed the pressure she was put under by...

Cassidy Hutchinson gave some of the most damning testimony the Jan. 6 committee heard about former President Donald Trump. CNN reported on Tuesday that a Trump-connected lawyer who had been representing the former Mark Meadows aide advised her to lie to the committee.
The lawyer, Stefan Passantino, served as the top White House ethics lawyer under Trump and previously represented the Trump Organization. Sources told CNN he was allegedly paid by Trump’s Save America Pac to represent Hutchinson, but she dropped him before testifying. She apparently ignored his advice to mislead the committee,...

During its final hearing on Thursday, the Jan. 6 committee played behind-the-scenes video of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and other lawmakers during the riot. Pelosi is seen on the phone with Virginia Governor Ralph Northam, asking for the kind of aid the former president refused to seek out as a mob of his supporters stormed the building.
CNN aired more footage of Pelosi on Thursday night, including a clip of her saying she “hoped” Trump would come to the Capitol. “I’m going to punch him out,” she says, visibly enraged.

Update: The January 6th Committee concluded with a unanimous vote to subpoena Donald Trump.
“We are obligated to seek answers directly from the man who set this in motion,” said Rep. Liz Cheney (R-wy).
Trump seems likely to try to fight the subpoena. It’s rare for any congressional panel to subpoena a president, current or former.
After so many months of anticipation, this hearing again lived up to and even exceeded expectations in the offering of new material, first and foremost being video footage. That was particularly true of the behind-the-scene footage of congressional leaders as they feverishly sought help as the attack on the Capitol unfolded.
After the hearing, committee member Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-ca) told Deadline that the footage was taken by Alexandra Pelosi, a documentary filmmaker who is the daughter of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.

The Jan. 6 committee returned from its summer hiatus and cast a spotlight on the actions of former Trump adviser Roger Stone. The committee laid out Stone’s connections with members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers, several members of which have been charged with seditious conspiracy in relation to the attack on the Capitol, as well as his thirst for violence should Trump lose.
“I said fuck the voting, get right to the violence,” Stone said in footage shot by a Danish film crew that was obtained by the committee.

The Jan. 6 committee is holding its ninth and — supposedly — final public hearing on Thursday. The panel is expected to key on former President Donald Trump’s role in the riot, and to exhibit evidence provided by a Danish film crew that trailed longtime Trump ally Roger Stone, who has been connected to extremist groups who played a role in the attack. Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-Calif.) told CNN this week that the committee will present “pretty surprising” new material.
The committee’s final hearing was initially scheduled for Sept. 28, but was postponed due to Hurricane Ian.

Last summer, nearly 20 million viewers tuned into the first primetime hearing of the House Select Committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol. What they saw was unlike any televised congressional hearing they’d ever seen: a tightly organized, rigorously structured presentation that wove recorded testimony, previously unseen footage of the attack, and other news clips into the live proceedings.
On the days that followed, the hearings continued in this form, taking the shape of a serialized narrative. There were shocking twists (former Trump aide Cassidy Hutchinson testified that her boss knew the mob was armed) and even cliffhangers enticing viewers to stay tuned for the next day’s development.
This was a far cry from the unwieldy, meandering (and usually quite stale) style of most congressional hearings. And it’s all thanks to former ABC News head James Goldston. The House committee brought him on as an...

Former White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows was kept informed of efforts to seize voting machines and other schemes to overturn the 2020 election by Trump allies in contested states, according to a trove of text messages obtained by CNN.
In a text exchange from Dec. 23, 2020, mere days before a riotous mob attempted to sabotage the Electoral College certification of President Joe Biden’s win, conspiracy theorist and former Army colonel Phil Waldron updated Meadows on his efforts to have voting machines in Maricopa County, Arizona, seized and examined.

Jimmy Kimmel returned from his months-long break from hosting “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Tuesday night, and he wasted little time in catching his audience up on the summer headlines of former president Donald Trump.
“I was gonna show you slides of my summer vacation, but I went through them. It’s mostly pictures of me holding trout trying to fix the defective generator on my Winnebago. So instead, I thought it would be fun to take a look at how Donald Trump spent his summer vacation,” Kimmel began, just a few beats into his monologue (and after jokes about O.J. Simpson and Rudy Giuliani).
Kimmel’s sidekick, Guillermo, then wheeled out an old fashioned slide projector used in classrooms before computers became the norms, and the host proceeded to regale his audience with photos and short stories about what happened with Trump while Kimmel was away from the late night podium.

The book has got mixed reviews from the US media, but the New York Times has almost trashed the book in a critical review.
Jared Kushner, married to the Trump’s favourite daughter Ivanka Trump, distances himself from the events of January 6, 2021, when a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol to try to stop Congress’ Electoral College vote count of the 2020 election results sealing Trump’s defeat.
Kushner wrote that he was flying back to Washington, D.C., from Saudi Arabia when he got a call from attorney Eric Herschman saying rioters had stormed the Capitol. But Kushner’s assessment of the riot, which led to multiple deaths and scores of injuries, is that the White House could not have known there would be violence that day.
"The violent storming of the Capitol was wrong and unlawful. It did not represent the hundreds of thousands of peaceful protesters, or the tens of millions of Trump voters,...

Donald Trump’s lawyers are preemptively preparing a legal defense against criminal charges from the Justice Department, as the former president’s lawyers are increasingly anxious that their client will be prosecuted for his role in the attempt to overturn the 2020 election.
Members of the ex-president’s legal team have already begun brainstorming strategy and potential defenses, according to three people familiar with the matter and written communications reviewed by Rolling Stone. Trump himself has been briefed on potential legal defenses on at least two occasions this summer, two of the sources say.

The Justice Department is conducting an active investigation into whether former President Donald Trump attempted to directly interfere with the results of the 2020 election, according to several anonymous sources.
As The Washington Post reports, key witnesses for the investigation, which include two top aides to former Vice President Mike Pence, are being questioned about conversations, meetings and other communications centering around Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election — specifically whether or not the former president gave explicit instructions to his lawyers or other individuals to disrupt the electoral college process by using phony electors.

This week, former Trump advisor Steve Bannon was found guilty of contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a congressional subpoena from the Jan. 6 committee. And on Sunday, Rep. Adam Kinzinger — one of two Republicans on the panel — issued a warning to future witnesses subpoenaed by Congress: comply or you will suffer Bannon’s fate.
Appearing on ABC’s This Week, Kinzinger reacted to Bannon’s conviction, saying, “It’s good,” and referring to it as “justice.”
“Come in,” he added in a message to Bannon and others called to testify.

The January 6th Committee’s primetime hearing drew an estimated 17.7 million viewers, an 11 dropoff from the 20 million who watched the committee’s last nighttime event in June.
The figures from Nielsen are across 10 networks. The committee’s June 9 hearing, kicking off its series, drew about 20 million on 11 networks.
Nielsen said that each of the eight hearings averaged 13.1 million, while the two primetime hearings averaged 18.9 million. The daytime hearings averaged 11.2 million.
Those are solid albeit not blockbuster numbers. The committee’s hearings, though, have commanded news cycles, and moments have gone viral on social media. That happened on Thursday, when the committee played a clip of Sen. Josh Hawley (R-Mo) running from the Senate floor as the mob approached on January 6. Hours earlier, Hawley had raised his fist in solidarity with the protesters.

The committee went all in on the use of often harrowing — and at times humorous — video and audio clips, some of which quickly went viral and will likely be replayed in the next news cycle. They all were directed at the hearing’s main narrative: Well aware of that was happening, Donald Trump did not fail to act during the 187 minutes between leaving the Ellipse and telling the mob to go home. He chose not to act,” said Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-il) at the start of the hearing.

Seth Meyers was a bit baffled on Wednesday night, as he tried to piece together why the Justice Department is reportedly only just now considering criminal charges against Donald Trump more seriously because of the Jan. 6 hearings.
“At this point, the Jan. 6 committee hearings have provided us with ample evidence that Trump and his gang of oddly shaped goons committed multiple crimes,” Meyers prefaced. “I mean, that seemed obvious on the day the insurrection happened, but now we have a lot more detail.”

The January 6th Committee has surprised many in Washington, D.C., by pulling off the unexpected — not just with new revelations but in the way that it has methodically laid out a narrative of Donald Trump’s effort to overturn the election results.
The committee has presented its case as if each hearing was episodic — in brisk, well-produced two-hour chunks that make heavy use of video, audio and graphics.
We’ve seen video of former Attorney General William Barr calling Trump’s claims of election fraud “bullsh*t.” There was the photo of then-Vice President Mike Pence, in a secure location at the Capitol, watching video of Trump praising the mob.
