First, CNN has new reporting:
Special counsel Jack Smith’s team has signaled a continued interest in a chaotic Oval Office meeting that took place in the final days of the Trump administration, during which the former president considered some of the most desperate proposals to keep him in power over objections from his White House counsel.
Multiple sources told CNN that investigators had asked several witnesses before the grand jury and during interviews about the meeting, which happened about six weeks after Donald Trump lost the 2020 election.
Prosecutors have specifically inquired about three outside Trump advisers who participated in the meeting: former Trump lawyer Sidney Powell, one-time national security adviser Michael Flynn and former Overstock CEO Patrick Byrne, sources said.
And this comes from a courthouse reporter.
The grand jury investigating Jan. 6 and efforts to overturn the 2020 election is still at work in the D.C. District Courthouse, best I can tell. But we have been told the magistrate court expects no indictments today. The courtroom is now dark. https://t.co/lOJ2C7jstT
