4 months after the #FBI raided #MarALago, Trump’s attys discovered 4 docs marked #classified in his personal bedroom.
That revelation was among several cited by US District Judge Beryl Howell in a newly unsealed 2023 opinion that found prosecutors had presented compelling #evidence that #Trump#knowingly stashed #NationalSecurity docs in his home & then tried to conceal them when the #DOJ tried to retrieve them.
U.S. #drones are failing to perform, The #WSJ reports.
Hoping to attract business, U.S. #startups have provided Ukrainian forces with drones. The drones have proven to be high in cost and low quality pushing Ukraine to turn to Chinese products.

Dem rep asks Florida to tax Mar-a-Lago at price Trump claims it’s worth: more than $1 billion
U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) is asking Palm Beach County to tax Donald Trump’s #maralago resort and residence at the amount he and his son Eric have recently publicly claimed it is worth: more than $1 billon.
The $28 million is the Florida county assessor’s office valuation, for tax purposes.
Jack Smith's historic case is too important in the realm of jurisprudence to be subject to the whims of Federalist influences and fealty to the person who hired you, especially when that perdon is the defendant and their charges border espionage.

Trump’s stmnts were based on a recently unsealed order for the search that contained boilerplate language spelling out that the use of deadly force could be used only in case of emergency, a standard provision applied to all FBI searches.
The #DOJ policy statement on when officers can use #LethalForce —misrepresented by Trump & his supporters as proof of an assassination plot at #MarALago —was also in the paperwork for the consensual search the #FBI conducted of #POTUS Biden’s Wilmington home, looking for #ClassifiedDocuments.
