Arizona secretary of state asks for investigation into possible election interference by Trump, Giuliani
Arizona Secretary of State Katie Hobbs on Wednesday called for the state's attorney general to investigate possible efforts by former President Trump, his lawyer Rudy Giuliani and others to pressure Maricopa County election officials during vote-counting in November.

What do Trump, Giuliani, and Dershowitz have in common? 

They were all friends of Jeffrey Epstein.

The FBI assisted United Arab Emirates Prime Minister Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum with a 2018 plot to kidnap his own daughter, according to a new report.

The incident occurred when Princess Latifa — known by her full name as Sheikha Latifa bint Mohammed al-Maktoum — attempted to escape her billionaire father’s dominion, traveling 20 miles by Jet Ski and dinghy to an American vessel off the coast of Oman with plans to seek asylum in the United States. But eight days later, the vessel was raided by a group of commandos who apprehended the princess, and absconded with her back to the UAE.

“Some reporters who were there won’t go back into the building,” according to the report from VICE News. “A number have sought therapy to deal with the trauma. One longtime Capitol Hill reporter opted for early retirement shortly after living through the riot.”

Six months ago, today

Hunt for Capitol attackers still on 6 months after Jan. 6

... But six months after the insurrection, the Justice Department is still hunting for scores of rioters, even as the first of more than 500 people already arrested have pleaded guilty. The struggle reflects the massive scale of the investigation and the grueling work still ahead for authorities in the face of an increasing effort by some Republican lawmakers to rewrite what happened that day.

Rep. Mo Brooks Says Trump Made Him Do It
Rep. Mo Brooks (R-AL) claims in a new court filing that he was asked by a White House official to speak at former president Donald Trump's infamous "Stop the Steal" rally that preceded the Jan. 6 insurrection.
The Alabama Republican was given Trump's endorsement for the U.S. Senate after making the speech, which a lawsuit alleges helped incite the violent assault on the U.S. Capitol, but Brooks' attorneys responded by insisting he only took part because the former president wanted him there.

Mo Brooks, Jan. 6: “Today is the day American patriots start taking down names and kicking ass.”

Brooks’ legal filing, July 2: “Brooks never, on or before January 6, 2021, used any words designed to cause anyone to attack the U.S. Capitol or to engage in any form of violence.”
