January 6 rioter pardoned by Trump is killed by police in traffic stop

Pardoned rioter killed by police

An Indiana man who was pardoned by Donald Trump for taking part in the January 6 insurrection was killed by police during a traffic stop on Sunday.

Matthew Huttle, 42, was shot by a sheriff’s deputy after allegedly resisting arrest and getting into an altercation with an officer, local news outlets in Indiana report, based on the Indiana state police’s account of the incident.

Huttle was one of the more than 1,500 people pardoned by Trump for their roles in the 2021 Capitol riot on the first day of his second term in office.

Huttle traveled to Washington with his uncle, Dale, and both men were charged for participating in the insurrection. He entered the US Capitol for about 10 minutes and agreed to a plea deal that gave him six months in prison. His uncle, Dale Huttle, was sentenced to 30 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to a felony charge for assaulting an officer after he jabbed the police officer with a long flagpole.

Trump justice department fires officials who worked for prosecutor Jack Smith

Trump fires Jack Smith team

Acting attorney general James McHenry on Monday fired more than a dozen federal prosecutors who worked on the two criminal cases against Donald Trump, saying they could not be trusted to implement the president’s agenda for the justice department, two people familiar with the matter said.

The precise extent of the firings were unclear because the department did not disclose names. At the time the cases were dismissed last year, after Trump won the election, special counsel Jack Smith had 17 prosecutors attached to his team.

The purge was not unexpected given Trump had vowed, on the campaign trail, to fire Smith, but the abrupt firings were jarring as the acting attorney general took aim at career prosecutors who had served at the department for years through changes in administrations and had gone back to their old jobs.

‘We’re watching mass delusion happen’: Trump’s return to White House brings cascade of lies

and mass delusion

Donald Trump had been US president again for less than 15 minutes when he made his first factually dubious claim.

“The vicious, violent and unfair weaponisation of the justice department and our government will end,” he said early in his inaugural address. There is no evidence that former president Joe Biden ordered the justice department to prosecute Trump and no violence took place.

The return of Trump to the White House for his second presidential term is also the return of what one critic called “America’s liar-in-chief”. His first week in office brought a cascade of false and misleading claims about immigration, the economy, electric vehicles, the Panama Canal, his election defeat in 2020 and the January 6 insurrection that followed.

Republican concerned for Pompeo after Trump pulls security detail amid Iran threats

Security removed for PompeoThe Ohio Republican Mike Turner said on Sunday’s Face the Nation he is “very concerned” for former secretary of state Mike Pompeo after Donald Trump revoked his security detail earlier in the week.

Pompeo and his top aide, Brian Hook, who have faced threats from Iran since they took hard-line stances on the Islamic Republic during Trump’s first administration, were told of the loss of protection on Wednesday evening.

Just a day earlier Trump similarly ended protection for his former national security adviser John Bolton, who was fired as national security adviser during Trump’s first term, and became a vocal Trump critic.

Trump fires 17 independent watchdogs at US government agencies

17 Indy IG's fired by Trump

Donald Trump fired 17 independent watchdogs at multiple US government agencies on Friday, a person with knowledge of the matter said, eliminating a critical oversight component and clearing the way for the president to replace them with loyalists.

The inspectors general at agencies including the departments of state, defense and transportation were notified by emails from the White House personnel director that they had been terminated immediately, the source said on condition of anonymity.

The dismissals appeared to violate federal law, which requires the president to give both houses of Congress reasons for the dismissals 30 days in advance.

The White House did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

An inspector general is an independent position that conducts audits and investigations into allegations of waste, fraud and abuse of power.

Trump orders release of secret JFK, RFK and MLK assassination documents

TrumpThe order requires the director of national intelligence and attorney general to work with White House officials on a plan to release the John F. Kennedy records and present it to Trump within 15 days. A plan for releasing the other records must be presented to Trump within 45 days.

Trump's order lays out the saga over releasing John F. Kennedy's record. A law passed in 1992 required the records to be fully released by Oct. 26, 2017 unless the president at the time determines their release would cause "identifiable harm to the military defense, intelligence operations, law enforcement, or conduct of foreign relations... of such gravity that it outweighs the public interest in disclosure."

Trump was president when the 2017 deadline arrived. He ordered the release of nearly 2,900 records, but kept others secret because of concerns by the CIA and FBI that their release could hurt national security.
