Rudy Giuliani

Andrew Weissmann, the former senior prosecutor to Robert Mueller, wants to know the facts that the Justice Department gave to the grand jury to convince them to issue a subpoena to a Twitter account that regularly mocks Rep. Devin Nunes (R-CA).

Speaking to MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace on Tuesday, Weissmann explained that included in the Twitter documents/papers, the account was unmasked because of "threatening communications."

Rudy Giuliani's son is running for New York governor, sparking some reactions on social media.

Andrew Giuliani, the 35-year-old son of the former New York City mayor, announced he will seek the Republican nomination to replace Gov. Andrew Cuomo.

Investigators in Rudy Giuliani's case explained that the reason they sought a warrant for Giuliani's iCloud account was out of fear that he would destroy evidence or tamper with witnesses.

Former President Donald Trump is not expected to throw attorney Rudy Giuliani a legal lifeline, a CNN legal correspondent reported this week.

On Monday, writing for the conservative Trump-skeptic website The Bulwark, editor Benjamin Parker outlined one of the strongest signs the Republican Party is an authoritarian institution in decline: Its "brain drain" of intellectuals from the party — and its celebration of this phenomenon.

"One of the problems of strangling and restricting a society for political expediency is that there are always other options," wrote Parker. "The people with the most human capital — extraordinary abilities, intelligence, skills, etc. — are the most likely to defect. The Soviet Union and its allies leaked talent at an extraordinary rate. Judging by how many former Republican luminaries have publicly broken with Trump, the Republican party, or both, its brain drain could be even quicker."

On Monday, speaking to The Washington Post, former U.S. ambassador to Ukraine Marie Yovanovitch, a target for retaliation by former President Donald Trump's administration and a key witness at the former president's first impeachment trial, opened up about how the last four years shook her beliefs about the strength of American democratic institutions.

"I was an American who thought that our democracy was strong and enduring and forever," said Yovanovitch. "And frankly, I had this arrogant view that it didn't require much work on our part to keep things going, that we had the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, et cetera. We've discovered over the years, not just in the last administration, there's been an erosion and we have not been the guardians of our institutions, because at the end of the day, the Constitution, as beautiful as it is, it's a piece of paper. You need people to work in the public good to provide services, to defend our nation, to advance our interests."
