Controversial Flag Displayed at Justice Alito's Beach House

A second flag associated with the January 6 Capitol rioters was displayed outside Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito's properties, prompting renewed calls for his recusal from Trump-related cases. The "Appeal to Heaven" flag was seen at his New Jersey beach home, while an inverted American flag was previously spotted at his Washington residence. Alito's impartiality is being questioned as he participates in cases related to the 2020 election and the Capitol attack. Public trust in the Supreme Court has recently declined, and the court adopted a code of ethics in November 2023, though it lacks enforcement mechanisms.

Jared Kushner confirms Trump's belief in election theft to special counsel probe

Jared Kushner, former White House advisor and son-in-law of Donald Trump, testified to the Special Counsel probe that it was his impression that Trump truly believed the 2020 election was stolen. This contradicts the testimony of General Mark A. Milley, who stated that Trump had acknowledged his loss in a December 2020 meeting. The investigation is focusing on a meeting in the Oval Office where desperate and outrageous proposals were discussed to overturn the election results. Prosecutors are also looking into Trump's alleged mishandling of classified documents and his involvement in the January 6 riots. Trump faces multiple charges and has pleaded not guilty.
