Jack Smith

Donald Trump's former top aide Stephen Miller appeared before the federal grand jury in Washington, D.C., investigating the Jan. 6 attack.

Discussing the matter, MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace explained that she has stacks of tapes of Miller appearing on Fox News and talking about the plot to overturn the election. In one Dec. 14, 2020 appearance, Wallace said that Miller was stressing Jan. 20 being the only thing written in stone. He claimed that there was more than enough time to certify Trump as the winner.

Former White House senior advisor Stephen Miller, the architect of ex-president Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant separation policies, is once again testifying before a federal grand jury as DOJ Special Counsel Jack Smith continues his investigation into the January 6 insurrection.

Miller’s appearance Tuesday comes “after the courts ordered that he and other top advisers must share their recollections of direct conversations with the then-president related to the January 6, 2021, Capitol riot,” CNN reports. “Miller is likely to be asked in the grand jury about his phone call with Trump minutes before the Ellipse rally that day, and other conversations they had about the election. The grand jury is hearing evidence as part of a special counsel’s criminal investigation.”

Former President Donald Trump is making a last-minute bid to block his former vice president from testifying in special counsel Jack Smith's investigation of Trump's actions leading up to the January 6 riots at the United States Capitol building.

As reported by NBC News' Daniel Barnes, Trump's legal team on Monday filed an appeal seeking to stop Pence from talking with prosecutors about his conversations with the former president in the waning days of his administration.

Former President Donald Trump launched a tirade against his former attorney general, William Barr, for saying that he will likely face federal charges over the stash of classified documents FBI agents found at his Mar-a-Lago country club.

Barr made the comments during an interview over the weekend with ABC News, during which he said he believes the Stormy Daniels hush payment case being pursued by Manhattan prosecutors is weak, but that "I'd be most concerned about the documents at Mar-a-Lago. I think that's a serious potential case. I think they probably have some very good evidence."

A ruling last Friday by a panel of appellate judges that Jan. 6 insurrectionists can face obstruction charges will come in handy for special counsel Jack Smith's investigation of Donald Trump's links to the Capitol riot.

That is the opinion of former Assistant United States Attorney Andrew Wiessmann during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Former President Donald Trump is not taking his recent New York indictment well and it's showing.

On Easter Sunday morning, the 2024 hopeful posted to his Truth Social account the words: "WORLD WAR III," without any additional context, leaving many social media users confused.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr said that former President Donald Trump would likely be prosecuted after he refused to return classified documents to the federal government.

On Sunday, Barr told ABC News that Trump should be "most concerned about the documents case" despite the former president's recent arrest in New York.

That’s the view of former federal prosecutor Andrew Weissmann, who predicted that the issue “may well now go to the Supreme Court,” Newsweek reported today. Weissmann termed the decision an “important development” Friday in a Tweet. Conservative attorney and Trump critic George Conway retweeted that sentiment Saturday with a one-word comment: "HUGE".

The panel voted 2-to-1 Friday to uphold the use of the “obstruction of an official proceeding” charge, reversing a decision to toss out what had been issued by Trump-appointed U.S. District Court Judge Carl Nichols, according to NBC News. The issue reportedly impacted hundreds of January 6 cases.

Former President Donald Trump is under criminal investigation for his role in the plot to overturn the 2020 presidential election, in not one but two cases: Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith is investigating the matter, and so is Fulton County, Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis.

But the same case being investigated in two jurisdictions actually presents an unlikely strategy for Trump to defend himself, reported The New York Times on Friday.

According to conservative commentator Amanda Carpenter, if the seemingly endless reports of investigations into Donald Trump blur together that is because they are all, at the end of the day, about the same thing.

In her column for the Bulwark, she stated that "election criminality" is at the center of the 34 felony count Manhattan indictment, the Fulton County, Georgia grand jury investigation, and special counsel Jack Smith's Jan. 6 investigation.

Legal commentator Marcy Wheeler predicted former President Donald Trump will likely be charged with obstruction or the Espionage Act after he took classified documents to his home at Mar-a-Lago.

Wheeler spoke to We've Got Issues host Joshua Holland in a podcast aired on Friday.

Former President Donald Trump is currently fighting 34 felony charges in Manhattan for his alleged $130,000 hush payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels — the first time a former president has ever been charged with a crime and a current point of outrage and fundraising among his fanbase.

However, argued legendary Watergate reporter Carl Bernstein on CNN Thursday, that is not the case he should be worrying about. Rather, he should be much more concerned with Justice Department special counsel Jack Smith's investigation into his role in the January 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol — a case Smith is investigating alongside the Mar-a-Lago classified documents probe, which Bernstein thinks is not the main show either.

Special counsel Jack Smith's criminal investigation into classified documents at Mar-a-Lago is compelling, and a bigger legal threat to former President Donald Trump than the Manhattan Stormy Daniels hush payment prosecution, argued former White House lawyer Ty Cobb on CNN Wednesday evening.

"There is so much attention on the Alvin Bragg indictment," said anchor Erin Burnett. "I do know, though, that you think that there is another and a bigger charge more significant charge about to come in the special counsel's investigation into the classified documents at Mar-a-Lago, and that you think that Jack Smith will charge Trump with obstruction, and he's going to do that likely within 60 days. Why that specific charge and why that, at this point, accelerated timeline?"
