 Washington Post - There is saying the quiet part out loud, and then there’s what Trump lawyer Alina Habba just did. Addressing the Supreme Court’s looming 14th Amendment decisions on whether Donald Trump can be disqualified from state ballots for engaging in insurrection, Habba decided it would be a good time to remind people of just how much Trump has done for Justice Brett M. Kavanaugh.“I think it should be a slam dunk in the Supreme Court; I have faith in them,” Habba said on Fox News. “You know, people like Kavanaugh who the president fought for, who the president went through hell to get into place, he’ll step up.”Habba quickly added the disclaimer that the justices “will step up not because they’re pro-Trump, but because they’re pro-law, because they’re pro-fairness.” And she has since done some cleanup work, trying to assure audiences that she wasn’t suggesting that Kavanaugh owed Trump loyalty.

NPR - Tomorrow marks three years since Trump supporters stormed the U.S. Capitol. More than 900 people have pleaded guilty or been convicted of criminal charges in connection with the Jan. 6 insurrection since that day, and the FBI continues to make new arrests. Former President Donald Trump has promised to pardon these defendants if he returns to the White House.  Trump is currently facing a criminal trial for allegedly interfering with the 2020 presidential election. NPR's Tom Dreisbach reports on Up First that special counsel Jack Smith's team wants to use Trump's support of the Jan. 6 defendants against him in court.
