Federal prosecutors are alleging that the founder of the Oath Keepers, a right-wing paramilitary group, was in direct contact throughout the Jan. 6 Capitol riot with members who now face charges in connection with the insurrection.
In a filing in a case against an Oath Keeper member, prosecutors write that Stewart Rhodes issued orders for members to “Come to South Side of Capitol on steps,” as well as several other directions to members before, during and after the deadly riot.
While prosecutors identified Rhodes only as “Person One” in Monday’s court filing, they previously named him in earlier court documents.
A U.S. House of Representatives panel has reissued a subpoena seeking Donald Trump's tax and financial records, saying in a memo made public on Tuesday it needs the documents to address "conflicts of interest" by future presidents. In a court filing on Tuesday, House lawyers told a judge that the House Oversight Committee reissued a subpoena to Trump's accounting firm, Mazars USA LLP, on Feb. 25.

New Hanover County is in a legal battle with the development team, Coswald and Tribute Companies. It’s over how a parcel of land in the northern part of the county is developed.
Each political season brings the question: What power does the county commission have when it comes to directing development? The answer is complicated, but at a recent agenda meeting on January 28th, 2021 Commissioner Jonathan Barfield addressed the new board members:
“The one thing I don’t want to see happen that the county gets sued. We’ve had several missteps in the past where we’ve got it wrong and developers had sued the county and won and built what they wanted to build.”
Since the deadly storming of the US Capitol building by Trump loyalists, federal authorities have brought multiple charges against rioters, many of whom remain behind.
