RNC Chief Ronna McDaniel Makes Clear Trump Still the Big Boss of the GOP https://trendingpolitics.com/rnc-ch...es-clear-trump-still-the-big-boss-of-the-gop/ There is no question that former President Donald Trump remains in control of the GOP, according to Republican National Committee chairwoman Ronna McDaniel. In an interview Sunday on “The Cats Roundtable” on WABC 770-N.Y, McDaniel noted that Trump can still draw vibrant crowds at rallies and has an ability to raise incredible amounts of money on behalf of the party and candidates he supports. “You know I always say, go back to the voter, and I think when you see the amount of people that show up to the rallies for President Trump, and this $102 million fundraising haul, I think the voters in America — Republicans in America — would absolutely say the president’s the most popular Republican and still leads the party,” she said.

The DOJ Admits It is Withholding Potentially Exculpatory Evidence in January 6 Criminal Cases in Legal Filing https://trendingpolitics.com/the-do...anuary-6-criminal-cases-in-legal-filing-knab/ The Department of Justice has provided one of the first documented concessions that prosecutors are withholding potentially exculpatory evidence in court cases concerning January 6 defendants. Acting United States Attorney Channing D. Phillips suggested on Monday that this is the motivation behind keeping more than 14,000 hours of documentary footage of the January 6 events out of the hands of defense attorneys and the public in United States v. Couy Griffin. Griffin, a county commissioner for Otero County, New Mexico, was arrested for Entering and Remaining in a Restricted Building and Disorderly and Disruptive Conduct in a Restricted Building, on January 19. The prosecution sought to waive the defendants’ right to a speedy trial. The defendant was released on his own personal recognizance on February 5, 2021. On March 18, 2021, the United States filed a motion for a 60-day continuance of the proceeding, according to the court filing. The government’s reasoning on the continuance motion was that the Capitol Breach investigation was so complex and sweeping that it would “make the immediate legal proceeding impossible, or result in a miscarriage of justice,” the prosecutors argued. The defense called the prosecution’s bluff. The U.S. attorneys did not want to give the defendant a speedy trial because they have other concerns.
