"Grand Jury Investigates Arizona's Trump Electors' Subpoena"

An Arizona grand jury has issued subpoenas to Republican electors who participated in the attempt to overturn the 2020 presidential election by falsely claiming Donald Trump had won the state. The subpoenas are part of a year-long investigation by Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes, and they request the Republicans to testify before the grand jury about their involvement in the elector plan. This marks a deepening probe into how political activists supporting Trump gathered to use invalid electors to try to thwart Biden’s victory. The investigation in Arizona could present legal peril for Republicans in the politically competitive state, and it follows similar prosecutions in Georgia, Michigan, and Nevada.

"Ex-Trump Org. CFO in Talks to Plead Guilty to Perjury in Civil Fraud Probe"

The former CFO of the Trump Organization, Allen Weisselberg, is in talks to potentially plead guilty to a perjury charge related to a civil fraud investigation into the company's finances. The negotiations with the Manhattan district attorney's office are in early stages, and if a deal is reached, it would be Weisselberg's second plea. He is not expected to cooperate against Trump and is not likely to be called as a witness in the upcoming criminal trial. The potential charges stem from testimony Weisselberg gave in an interview with the New York attorney general's office and at a related civil fraud trial of former President Donald Trump.

"Trump Organization Employee Receives Target Letter in Classified Documents Case"

A low-level employee of the Trump Organization has received a target letter from special counsel Jack Smith, indicating that they could be indicted for allegedly obstructing the investigation into Donald Trump's possession of classified documents after leaving office. The employee, who had dealings at Mar-a-Lago, is not an executive or decision-maker. The investigation focuses on surveillance video from Mar-a-Lago, which showed workers moving boxes containing classified documents. The footage played a key role in the indictment against Trump and his aide, Waltine "Walt" Nauta, who have both pleaded not guilty. The investigation remains active, and federal prosecutors and Trump's legal team are expected to appear in court to discuss trial logistics.
