Quick Glance: Justices Question Obstruction Charge Against Jan. 6 Rioter
  • The Supreme Court is considering whether Jan. 6 rioters can be charged with obstructing an official proceeding, potentially impacting Trump's election interference case.

  • During Tuesday's hearing, justices expressed concerns about the Justice Department's use of the obstruction statute to prosecute those involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol attack.

  • A potential consequence of a ruling in favor of Fischer could affect Trump, although this outcome is not definitive. Prosecutors in Trump's case have emphasized that even if Fischer succeeds, Trump's actions would still be governed by a more restrictive interpretation of the law.

  • The provision was enacted in 2002 as part of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, passed after the Enron accounting scandal. Both Fischer and Trump argue that the obstruction law does not apply to their alleged conduct, meaning the charges should be dropped.

Trump’s New York trial shows the justice system is working
Quick Glance: Twelve Jurors Seated in Trump's Hush Money Trial
  • A jury of 12 individuals was empaneled on Thursday in the landmark hush money trial of former President Donald Trump, bringing the proceedings closer to opening arguments and the commencement of weeks filled with compelling testimonies.

  • The upcoming trial is anticipated to present unfavorable testimonies regarding Trump's personal life pre-presidency, including accusations of manipulating business records to suppress narratives in the final days of the 2016 election surrounding his intimate relationships.

  • Central to the trial is a payment of $130,000 made by Cohen just before the 2016 election to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, aimed at preventing her allegations of a sexual encounter with Trump from being publicized in the campaign's final stretch.

  • The selection of the jury holds paramount significance in any criminal proceeding, particularly so when the accused is a former president and the presumed Republican candidate. Potential jurors have undergone extensive scrutiny concerning their online presence, personal backgrounds, and political stances as legal representatives and the judge meticulously scrutinize for partialities that could compromise their impartiality.

Quick Glance: Biden Administration Implements Stricter Background Checks for Gun Dealers
  • A new rule by the Biden administration will require thousands of gun dealers to conduct background checks on buyers to close a legal loophole.

  • President Biden emphasizes that the measure aims to keep guns away from domestic abusers and felons to save lives.

  • The law mandates that sellers primarily engaged in selling firearms for profit must be federally licensed and perform checks.

  • Despite praise from advocates, the regulation is likely to face legal challenges from gun rights activists, concerned about potential infringements.

Quick Glance: Former Marine sentenced to 9 years in prison for firebombing California Planned Parenthood clinic
  • A former marine was sentenced to nine years in prison by the Justice Department on Monday after using a Molotov cocktail to attack a Planned Parenthood clinic in Costa Mesa, California. Chance Brannon, along with his co-defendant Tibet Ergul, plotted attacks on the clinic and a potential target on the power grid in 'furtherance of a race war.'

  • Brannon, 24, pleaded guilty in November 2023 to being involved in a conspiracy, malicious destruction of property by fire and explosives, possession of an unregistered destructive device, and intentionally damaging a reproductive health services facility in violation of the Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances (FACE) Act.

  • Planned Parenthood clinic attacks were abandoned due to law enforcement actions. Brannon was motivated by neo-Nazi ideology and planned further violent attacks. The National Abortion Federation reported a sharp increase in violence at abortion clinics in 2022.

  • Brannon and Ergul also had plans to conduct an attack using a remote-detonated device during an LGBTQ+ pride event at Dodger Stadium, but were arrested two days prior. Before the arrest, Brannon even planned to rob Jewish individuals living in the Hollywood Hills.

Justice Department stiffs Republicans on Biden-Hur interview audio
Quick Glance: Justice Dept. refuses to provide Biden-Hur audio recordings to House committee
  • Justice Department officials informed House Republicans that they do not plan to give audio recordings of President Biden's interviews with the special counsel investigating his handling of classified documents.

  • The decision was made as lawmakers already possess transcripts of the interviews, indicating that the request may be more about politics than seeking genuine information.

  • Special counsel Hur found evidence that Biden retained classified government materials after leaving the vice presidency, but concluded that there was insufficient proof to pursue criminal charges.

  • Republican lawmakers have threatened to hold the Attorney General in contempt if the recordings are not handed over, raising concerns about potential implications on future investigations.

Quick Glance: Path to Victory: Trump's NY Hush Money Trial
  • The first criminal trial of any former president began with extortion, Trump should aim for an acquittal.

  • Charges do not concern misconduct in settling hush money with Daniels, but entering payments to conceal another crime.

  • The burden of proof for criminal intent is high, requiring proof for two layers of specific intent to convict Trump.

  • A legal maneuver could allow Trump to dismiss his defense team and recruit a new team to potentially secure his case.

Quick Glance: Former US Ambassador Sentenced for Spying for Cuba
  • Former US ambassador Manuel Rocha was sentenced to 15 years in prison after admitting to working as a secret agent for Cuba for decades.

  • Rocha accepted the penalty and paid a $500,000 fine after pleading guilty to acting on behalf of a foreign government.

  • The swift criminal case avoided a trial that would have revealed the extent of Rocha's assistance to Cuba while working for the US State Department for twenty years.

  • The sophistication of Cuban intelligence services was highlighted as Rocha's double-crossing went undetected for years, demonstrating his secret meetings with Cuban operatives and provision of false information to US officials.
