Rep. Kevin McCarthy has been subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 Committee in an extraordinary step targeting a current party leader.

Significant Republican names have been subpoenaed by the Jan. 6 Committee on Thursday for playing a crucial role and possibly hiding what they may know about the Attack. Aside from McCarthy, those subpoenaed includes Reps. Scott Perry (R-Pa.), Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), Andy Biggs (R-Ariz.) and Mo Brooks (R-Ala.). On the executive side, the DOJ has also subpoenaed Trump documents that were illegally brought to his home in Mar-a-Lago.

Trump was furious that George Floyd and BLM demonstrations made him look weak and threatened to use the military to shoot peaceful protesters.

Former Defense Secretary Mark Espers revealed that a "red-faced" Trump wanted to shoot Americans protesting the murder of George Floyd. Trump also threatened to invoke the Insurrection Act to deploy active-duty military against protesters. In other news, Jury selection begins in Georgia to investigate Trump's attempts to overturn the election and a federal Judge allows January 6 committee to subpoena Trump and RNC email data.

Text messages, public records, and voice recordings are exposing the hypocrisy and lies of the GOP leadership.

Mark Meadows, Kevin McCarthy, and Marjorie Taylor Greene are just the latest examples of Republicans who continue to lie about the January 6 Insurrection, even when contradicted by their own text messages and voice recordings. Elizabeth Warren called out the "illness that pervades the Republican leadership right now, they say one thing to the American public and something else in private." Warren also called Kevin McCarthy, "a liar and a traitor."

On Wednesday, the House voted to charge former trade and manufacturing director Peter Navarro and former White House communications chief Daniel Scavino Jr. with contempt of Congress

Navarro and Scavino are the latest among the top Trump aides to be charged, along with Steve Bannon and former chief of Staff Mark Meadows. The House voted as a result of both aides refusing to comply with the investigation. The split vote, 220-to-203, among party lines, initiated steps that ultimately end with the Justice Department's prerogative to pursue prosecution. If pursued, the case could result in a year in prison and a fine of up to $100,000.

Missing White House phone records on January 6 is strong evidence of a cover up to hide Trump's criminal intent to overturn the 2020 election.

Despite reports of Trump's calls with several lawmakers, official White House phone records show no calls from 11:17 a.m. to 6:54 p.m. on January 6. Bob Woodward, who broke the story, said that Trump is a known phone “addict” and that Trump not using a phone for over 7 hours during the assault on the Capitol is as improbable as “the sun not rising.” The January 6 Committee is investigating a “possible coverup” as the investigation focuses on new evidence of Trump's criminal intent.

Republicans are speaking out about how Trump has weakened NATO and admires tyrants.

Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham said recently that Donald Trump both feared and admired Vladimir Putin and wanted "to kill whoever spoke out against him." Rep. Adam Kinzinger's "Biggest Regret" is not voting to impeach Trump over his "shameful and illegal act" of withholding "lethal aid to Ukraine so he could use it as leverage for his campaign. Rep. Tom Rice said Trump is "consumed by spite" and is a "would-be tyrant."

Trump has a long financial history with Russia and supported Putin's efforts to subjugate Ukraine by withholiding military aid and weakening NATO.

For years, Trump had business relations with Russia, including trying to build a Trump Tower in Moscow. As president, Trump wanted to pull out of NATO and resisted efforts to sanction Russia. Trump was impeached for withholding $400 million in U.S. aid to Ukraine unless President Zelenskyy agreed to dig up dirt on Joe Biden. U.S. Army lieutenant colonel Vindman - who testified at the first impeachment - said recently that Trump has "undermined U.S. foreign policy because he weakened Ukraine.”

Last Friday District Judge Amit Mehta ruled on three civil suits against Trump related to Jan. 6, allowing them to move forward with the case.

The ruling by Judge Mehta creates important rippling effects on Trump's Jan. 6 investigation as the ruling allows the three plaintiffs to seek information on Trump's role in the Jan. 6 Insurrection. Despite Trump's lawyers arguing on the basis of presidential immunity as well as his First Amendment right, Judge Mehta writes that Trump addressed the crowd not with presidential, but personal matters, and that the president's previous creation of "distrust and anger" made his event more than a speech but also a "call to action".

For the Trump family it's all about the Benjamins, but now with the government following the money, Donald Trump will have to testify under oath about potential financial fraud at the Trump Org.

Tax evasion and financial fraud may be Donald Trump's undoing. For decades Trump has avoided paying little or no income taxes and at the same time using "fraudulent and misleading asset valuations" to secure bank loans. Now a New York state judge has ordered Donald Trump and his two oldest children to testify under oath, although they are likely to invoke their Fifth Amendment right against self-incrimination, just like Eric Trump did 500 times back on October 5, 2020.
