Trump fumes at Letitia James as she takes first step towards seizing golf club: Live

According to a newly-released transcript from the House select committee on the January 6 attack, a White House valet testified that then-President Trump threatened Mike Pence in advance of the Capitol riot.

The valet said they overheard Trump urging the vice president to subvert the certification of the 2020 election results in Congress on the day of the failed insurrection, telling him: “Mike, this is a political career killer if you do this… Do what’s right”.

Here’s Andrew Feinberg’s report.

The intrepid Kelly Rissman has been putting that very question to the people of Manhattan, with interesting results.

Here’s the latest from the Hieronymus Bosch nightmarescape that is Donald Trump’s social media platform.

You will not be surprised to hear that he is pretty furious about James’s latest filing:

In addition, he’s been laying into “CROOKED JOE” with the help of some hysterical coverage of the southern border from Fox News, talking up his alleged “love” for the Latino community (again) and issuing this frankly rather odd declaration about Truth Social itself.

Days after Donald Trump lost a months-long civil trial on allegations that he defrauded investors, New York attorney general Letitia James said she was prepared to begin seizing his assets if the former president couldn’t find the cash to pay the $464m judgment against him.

Earlier this month, her office took the first step in doing just that and it appears she has her eye on Trump’s Seven Springs estate and Trump National Golf Club in Westchester, for starters.

The Biden campaign appears to have a clearer memory of March 2020 than the Trump team…

John Bowden filed this report from Ohio earlier this week:

A White House valet who was with former president Donald Trump on the day Congress certified his 2020 election loss to Joe Biden told the House January 6 select committee that Mr Trump threatened then-vice president Mike Pence’s future political viability in a phone call just before Mr Pence was to preside over a joint session of Congress to count electoral college ballots.

“Stay tuned,” she told reporters on Tuesday after she was asked if she would return to the campaign trail with her husband, Donald Trump.

The Trumps had just exited a polling location together in Palm Beach, Florida, where the one-term president voted for himself in the Republican primary.

Donald Trump has sent out a panicked fundraising message to his supporters as he begs them to help foot his ballooning legal bills.

The desperate memo, titled “Keep your filthy hands off Trump Tower!”, comes as the Monday deadline to pay his $464m bond in his New York fraud trial judgement ticks ever closer.

“KEEP YOUR FILTHY HANDS OFF TRUMP TOWER!” the text reads, linking to an accompanying memo that states: “Insane radical Democrat AG Letitia James wants to SEIZE my properties in New York. THIS INCLUDES THE ICONIC TRUMP TOWER!”

The Independent’s Kelly Rissman staked out Trump Tower, where tourists, locals, and mask-covered Trump impersonators collide, to take a temperature check on the possibility that the attorney general could seize the golden-plated property.
