Attorney General’s Office to determine whether the subpoenas were <a href="https://c.im/tags/lost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>lost</span></a> in the mail <br>or if the Secret Service or the MPD’s custodian of records were being <a href="https://c.im/tags/nonresponsive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>nonresponsive</span></a>. </p><p>While concerned, the judge appeared 🔹determined to keep moving the civil case down the tracks 🔹and ordered the parties to disclose the names of those individuals they intend to depose or obtain declarations from<br> 💥no later than Aug. 23. </p><p>As Law&amp;Crime reported, 👉 it was in April when Mehta set down a Sept. 11 deadline for the parties to complete discovery specific to immunity issues Trump may want to raise.</p><p>“I do want to get to summary judgment briefing this fall and get this done,” Mehta said Tuesday.</p><p>Much of the discovery is publicly sourced material and so far, according to attorneys for the National Archives who attended the status conference, <br>♦️the National Archives has produced 1,500 of 4,700 total documents flagged for the matter. ♦️</p><p>The records pertain to Trump’s🔹 “Stop the Steal” rally at the Ellipse, <br>🔹official communication between government officials about that rally, <br>🔹the logistics for how Trump got to the Ellipse and left, <br>🔹and communications about his speech. </p><p>✅No concerns over privilege issues are expected by Trump’s lawyers or the plaintiffs. </p><p>During the status conference, it was also revealed by federal prosecutors that they have ✅received roughly 1,650 pages of records from the Interior Department <br>so far and that the department is on track to finish this production by Aug. 19.</p><p>Mehta has spent months holding fast to the Sept. 11 deadline, <br>but ⚠️with so many competing deadlines in the weeks ahead, <br>as Law&amp;Crime explores in every venue where Trump is charged below, <br>the federal judge may soon find himself woefully disappointed and, along with the plaintiffs, waiting yet again.</p><p><a href="https://lawandcrime.com/high-profile/the-trump-docket-dominoes-falling-from-scotus-immunity-ruling-may-irk-jan-6-judge-who-wants-to-get-this-done/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">lawandcrime.com/high-profile/t</span><span class="invisible">he-trump-docket-dominoes-falling-from-scotus-immunity-ruling-may-irk-jan-6-judge-who-wants-to-get-this-done/</span></a></p>
Chuck Darwin<p>Tech executives and investors said they were invigorated by Harris</p><p>“It’s democracy time, people,” Roy <a href="https://c.im/tags/Bahat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Bahat</span></a>, an investor at Bloomberg Beta, posted on LinkedIn. <br>Aaron <a href="https://c.im/tags/Levie" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Levie</span></a>, the chief executive of Box, a cloud storage company, wrote on X that Mr. Biden had shown “amazing leadership,” adding, “Now let’s go!”</p><p>The energy was a far cry from the dismay felt in tech circles recently as some of the industry’s most influential voices declared they were for Mr. Trump. <br>The rejuvenation could blunt the momentum of pro-Trump conservatives in Silicon Valley and entice more wealthy tech executives to throw their support — and money — behind the Democratic ticket.</p><p>Just last week, the political winds in Silicon Valley appeared to be blowing to the right. <br>On Tuesday, Mr. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Andreessen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Andreessen</span></a> 😨and Mr. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Horowitz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Horowitz</span></a>😨, founders of the influential investment firm Andreessen Horowitz, argued in a 90-minute podcast that Mr. Trump was the best candidate for start-ups, with plans to donate millions to his campaign. Days earlier, Mr. <a href="https://c.im/tags/Musk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Musk</span></a> 😨had also endorsed Mr. Trump.<br>They had been preceded by David <a href="https://c.im/tags/Sacks" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Sacks</span></a> 😨and Chamath <a href="https://c.im/tags/Palihapitiya" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Palihapitiya</span></a>, 😨two tech investors who had hosteda $12 million fund-raiser for Mr. Trump in June.
