DBP66 Posted December 18, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2021 Fact check: Trump repeats false claim that Pelosi rejected request for National Guard ahead of Jan. 6 McKenzie Sadeghi Thu, December 16, 2021, 11:10 PM The claim: Nancy Pelosi rejected Donald Trump's request for 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed before Jan. 6 As a House committee continues its investigation into the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol and former President Donald Trump goes on a speaking tour, debunked narratives about the deadly insurrection are resurfacing on social media. Reports show military and law enforcement officials were unprepared and slow to respond to the riot. Trump has repeatedly attempted to blame that on House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., claiming she rejected his request to deploy 10,000 National Guard troops to the Capitol ahead of his “Stop the Steal” rally. Trump’s claim is one of many efforts by Republicans and supporters of the former president to shift blame and downplay the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol that resulted in four deaths and led to more than 600 arrests. “Trump Says Pelosi Turned Down His Request For 10,000 National Guard Troops For Jan. 6 Rally…!!!” reads the caption of a Dec. 13 Facebook video that accumulated more than 4,000 views within a couple days. “I recommended 10 but I said do whatever they want, they’re running the Capitol, they know what they’re doing,” Trump says in the video. “And the Capitol police knew about it, she (Pelosi) knew about it, and they turned it down because they said it didn’t look good.” But Trump’s claim was debunked by fact-checkers in March, after he first made the statement during a Fox News appearance, and it’s still not true. There is no evidence Trump made any formal request about deploying 10,000 National Guard troops before the rally. A government memo about the events leading up to Jan. 6, statements from Pelosi’s office and the Pentagon and testimony from the former House sergeant-at-arms show Trump did not request 10,000 troops ahead of the rally. Drew Hammill, Pelosi's spokesperson, told USA TODAY that Pelosi’s office was not consulted or contacted regarding any request for the National Guard ahead of Jan. 6, and he noted the speaker of the House does not have the power to reject that type of request. Claims that Pelosi was in charge of Capitol security on Jan. 6 have been previously debunked by USA TODAY. The Capitol Police are overseen by the Capitol Police Board and committees from the Senate and House of Representatives. Fact check: Post falsely claims Pelosi is blocking Capitol Police officers from testifying Pentagon spokesperson John Kirby had previously looked into Trump’s claim and told The Washington Post in March that “we have no record of such an order being given.” A timeline from the Department of Defense only mentions an agreement made on Jan. 4 about potentially providing 340 District of Columbia National Guard members at the request of D.C. Mayor Muriel Bowser to support traffic control points and to deploy a quick reaction force “if additional support is requested by civilian authorities.” Additionally, when asked by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, during a Feb. 23 Senate hearing if discussions took place on Jan. 4 with congressional leadership about bringing in the National Guard, former House Sergeant-at-Arms Paul Irving said he "had no follow up conversations." "It was not until the sixth that I alerted leadership that we might be making a request," Irving said. "And that was the end of the discussion." While Trump never formally requested 10,000 National Guard troops, then-acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller told Vanity Fair that Trump brought up the figure in conversation on the night before Jan. 6. Our rating: False Based on our research, we rate FALSE the claim that Pelosi rejected Trump's request for 10,000 National Guard troops to be deployed before Jan. 6. Pelosi's office said the speaker was not contacted about deploying the National Guard prior to the rally, and the Pentagon has previously stated that there is no record of the request. A timeline from the Department of Defense about the events leading up to Jan. 6 does not include any mention of a request for 10,000 National Guard members. The former House sergeant-at-arms said he did not have any discussions with congressional leaders about the National Guard until the day of the riot.

DBP66 Posted December 20, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 20, 2021 Trump Sues New York Prosecutor in Attempt to Stop Inquiry Into His Business Jonah E. Bromwich Mon, December 20, 2021, 10:20 AM Donald Trump filed a lawsuit Monday against the New York state attorney general, Letitia James, seeking to halt her long-running civil inquiry into his business practices and to bar her from participating in a separate criminal investigation. The suit, filed in federal court in Albany, New York, by Trump and his family real estate business, argued that James’ involvement in both inquiries was entirely politically motivated, a tack that Trump has deployed in the past when face with scrutiny by law enforcement and others. The lawsuit cited a long list of James’ public attacks on Trump in the past, including while she was running for office, to argue that she had violated the former president’s constitutional rights. “Her mission is guided solely by political animus and a desire to harass, intimidate, and retaliate against a private citizen who she views as a political opponent,” the suit reads. In a statement, James, a Democrat, said the lawsuit would not deter the inquiry. “The Trump Organization has continually sought to delay our investigation into its business dealings,” the statement read. “To be clear, neither Mr. Trump nor the Trump Organization get to dictate if and where they will answer for their actions.” Trump faces a high bar in proving that James violated his rights, according to legal experts, some of whom predicted that James would prevail even if a judge concluded that her comments were inappropriate. The former president previously argued that he was the victim of political harassment when he tried to challenge an criminal investigation by Manhattan District Attorney Cyrus R. Vance Jr., also a Democrat. That fight, over a subpoena for the former president’s tax returns, significantly delayed the investigation, before Trump’s argument was ultimately rejected by the Supreme Court in February. In a statement Monday, Trump addressed James directly, calling her investigation “a continuation of the political witch hunt that has gone on against me.” “This is not about delay, this is about our Constitution!” the statement said. Vance’s criminal investigation, which James’ office is assisting, is centered on whether Trump fraudulently inflated the value of his assets to dupe banks into providing him with loans. The investigation recently reached a critical phase, with prosecutors questioning one of the former president’s accountants before a grand jury and issuing subpoenas for records about his hotels, golf clubs and office buildings. Vance is leaving office at the end of the year, but if prosecutors in his office conclude that Trump committed a crime, they could file charges against him. That decision would likely fall to Vance’s successor, Alvin Bragg. Danny Frost, a spokesperson for Vance’s office, declined to comment on the lawsuit. James’ parallel civil investigation began in March 2019 and focuses on similar questions about the way in which Trump valued his properties. If James were to find evidence of wrongdoing, she could file a lawsuit against Trump, but because it is a civil inquiry, she could not file criminal charges. Trump’s lawsuit comes less than two weeks after James signaled that she would seek to question him under oath early next month. The former president's lawyers said at the time that they would ask a judge to quash the subpoena, and they are still expected to do so in the coming days. A lawyer for Trump, Alina Habba, said in a statement Monday that the lawsuit was an effort to stop James’ “bitter crusade to punish her political opponent in its tracks.” The lawsuit highlighted public criticism James has leveled at Trump over the years, including a 2017 tweet declaring that she was “leading the resistance against Donald Trump in NYC.” Trump's lawyers contend that James, the New York City public advocate at the time, campaigned for attorney general in part on an anti-Trump agenda. During her campaign, James often invoked Trump on Twitter and in fundraising appeals. And after being elected, James redoubled her attacks on Trump, the lawsuit argued. “We’re going to definitely sue him,” she said in a video posted the day after her win, in November 2018. “We’re going to be a real pain in the ass. He’s going to know my name personally.” James recently dropped out of the race for New York governor, citing “a number of important investigations and cases” that she said she intended to continue as attorney general. The lawsuit argued that James’ public attacks on Trump — and the bevy of subpoenas she has issued to his company — violated a number of Trump’s constitutional rights, including his right to due process and free speech. Trump’s lawsuit also contends that her “overbroad, overreaching and irrelevant subpoenas” ran afoul of the Fourth Amendment’s protection against unreasonable government searches. While the lawsuit might delay or distract from James’ investigation, a judge is unlikely to halt it altogether, experts in civil rights law said. There is no constitutional protection against a prosecutor harboring a political bias, the experts said. Trump can challenge any particular subpoena as overly broad or unfair, but when he has done so in the past, judges have ruled against him. Jonathan M. Smith, executive director for the Washington Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights and Urban Affairs, said that he did not expect a court to be swayed by most of Trump’s constitutional arguments and that the lawsuit was unlikely to delay Vance’s investigation. “Even if she has political beliefs about Trump, there are legitimate claims that have been raised about the conduct of the Trump Organization and Trump himself that would justify the investigations,” Smith said. He noted, however, that prosecutors are ethically bound to set aside any bias when pursuing a case. He said the strongest argument Trump’s lawyers appeared to be making was that James had essentially abused her office in violation of the law. “The abuse of process is the one that I think comes closest,” Smith said. “If they can actually show that her purpose is retaliatory or politically motivated, that violates the ethics rules.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DBP66 Posted December 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2021 Trump asks Supreme Court to block release of Jan. 6 records MARK SHERMAN and NOMAAN MERCHANT Thu, December 23, 2021, 12:05 PM WASHINGTON (AP) — Former President Donald Trump turned to the Supreme Court Thursday in a last-ditch effort to keep documents away from the House committee investigating the Jan. 6 insurrection at the Capitol led by his supporters. Trump's attorneys asked the Supreme Court to reverse lower court rulings against the former president, who has fought to block the records even after President Joe Biden waived executive privilege over them. The federal appeals court in Washington previously ruled the committee had a “uniquely vital interest” in the documents and Trump had “provided no basis" for it to override Biden and Congress. The records include presidential diaries, visitor logs, speech drafts, handwritten notes “concerning the events of January 6” from the files of former chief of staff Mark Meadows, and “a draft Executive Order on the topic of election integrity," according to a previous court filing from the National Archives. Repeating arguments they made before lower courts, Trump's attorneys wrote Thursday that the case concerned all future occupants of the White House. Their filing came on the day that an administrative injunction issued by the appeals court was set to expire. Former presidents had “a clear right to protect their confidential records from premature dissemination,” Trump's lawyers said. “Congress cannot engage in meandering fishing expeditions in the hopes of embarrassing President Trump or exposing the President’s and his staff’s sensitive and privileged communications ‘for the sake of exposure,’ ” they added. The House committee has said the records are vital to its investigation into the run-up to the deadly insurrection aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election. Before and after the riot, Trump promoted false theories about election fraud and suggested that the “real insurrection” was on Election Day, when he lost to Biden in an election certified by officials from both parties as fair. The high-stakes case was widely expected to reach the Supreme Court, which has decided several previous fights over Trump's records. Trump appointed three of the court's nine justices. The court earlier this year refused to stop his tax records from going to a New York prosecutor's office as part of an investigation. It did prevent Congress last year, while Trump was in office, from obtaining banking and financial records for him and members of his family.
