the legal fees of witnesses ensnared in investigations into the former president, that whole thing is still happening this time in special counsel jack smith s investigation into the trump mar-a-lago documents fiasco cnn is reporting that dozens of mar-a-lago staffers and people inside trump s orbit have been subpoenaed by the special counsel team to appear before the grand jury in washington, d.c. and that many of the mar-a-lago staffers who have been subpoenaed to testify are reportedly being represented by attorneys paid for by trump entities i should note that nbc news has not yet confirmed this reporting, but it is interesting. now, there is no indication here of illegality or impropriety in this reporting but it sure does raise a whole lot of questions cnn also goes on to report that today margot martin is former white house staffer who moved to trump with florida appeared today before the grand jury in d.c. and one of the special counsel s most senior
president, lunging forward in the vehicle, and berating his detail when he didn t get his way. the second source said he heard that directly from the driver of the suv. trump wanted to join rioters at the capitol even though he allegedly knew some who came for his rally were armed. the other concerns development is the new information about who may have been pressuring cassidy hutchinson ahead of her sworn testimony. the january 6 committee showed two messages on tuesday. sources have since told cnn both were directed at hutchinson from people inside trump s circle who could have been trying to intimidate her. one at the bottom of the screen there said, a person let me know you have your deposition tomorrow. he wants to let you know that he s thinking about you. he knows you re loyal and you re going to do the right thing when you go in for your deposition. so, who is that person? according to multiple sources,
also smack dab in the middle of america s culture wars. as some in this nation cry out about excessive force and the number of young black men killed by police, twice the high court ruled in favor of police officers limiting the circumstances in which excessive force claims can be brought against police. the deadly smuggling incident in san antonio, texas, this weekend reminds us all of horrible price some will pay for a chance to call america home. the court allowed president biden to end former president trump s remain in mexico policy, but it limited legal options for those who are here and made it harder to hold border patrol officers accountable in some cases. citizens of puerto rico were denied equal access to protection in terms of disability benefits, while native americans saw the court weaken their tribal rights while also stripping them of double jeopardy protections. basic tenets like habeas corpus and miranda was watered down. in the midst of global crises like a pandemic
mr. trump s world reached out to her? so, i ve talked to her. she s doing very well. all things considered. she went into this knowing her life was going to change overnight. but of course the magnitude of that doesn t really hit you until afterward. and she walked into it knowing she was going to be smeared, she was going to be defamed. but i think she has a strong support system around her. there are so many people who are so proud of what she did and who are ready to support her. she s not told me anything about any outreach from trump world. i would be shocked if they would do it. she s got a really strong team of attorneys around her as well as just supportive people who believe in what she s doing. can she by any chance, did she say anything to you about the potential of other people coming forward? or have you heard anyone say to you, you know what, after hearing from her and the way she presented evidence in this case, it s time for us to come forward. well, right. so,
