“Democracy needs a ground to stand on and that ground is the truth.”
These are the words of Maryland Congressman Jamie Raskin, featured in a trailer for the A24 documentary film “The Sixth,” a portrait of public service that features interviews with Raskin, a photographer, a Hill aide, and three police officers, all of whom, had their lives changed by the violent Capitol assault on January 6, 2021. The documentary hails from husband and wife team Sean Fine and Andrea Nix, who have received two Emmy Awards for their work with National Geographic, the Best Documentary (Short Subject) Oscar in 2013 for “Innocente,” and in 2021, through HBO, released “Lfg,” a documentary that tracks women’s soccer’s fight with the US Soccer Federation over pay discrimination. This all to say, Fine and Nix are highly regarded in their field and yet their most recent and vital work, a film that tracks the insurrection...

After months of delays, the House of Representatives passed a foreign aid package that would send funding to Ukraine and Israel — and encompassed a ban on TikTok — in a Saturday vote, despite the vocal opposition from some far-right members of Congress to the former.
All 210 Democrats present for the vote sided in favor of the Ukraine aid bill to help the beleaguered nation currently at war with Russia, while 112 Republicans voted against it. The vote comes after intense pressure on Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana), who faces threats of being removed...

Former President Donald Trump supporters in the House of Representatives are pushing a bill to rename Dulles Airport outside of Washington, D.C., after the former president.
On April 2, a group of Trump supporters launched the effort to rename this airport to express admiration for the Republican 2024 presidential candidate.
The airport is named after John Foster Dulles, the secretary of state in the 1950s and during Dwight D. Eisenhower’s presidency.
Rep. Guy Reschenthaler (R-Pennsylvania), the Republican Party’s chief deputy whip in the House, stated that he was introducing legislation to change the name of the airport since Trump was “the best president of” his “lifetime.”
“As millions of domestic and international travelers fly through the airport, there is no better symbol of freedom, prosperity and strength than hearing ‘Welcome to Trump International Airport’ as they land on American soil,” Reschenthaler stated.
“Freedom,” he wrote in an X post on April 2. “Prosperity.

Lev Parnas, the former associate of Rudy Giuliani, testified to Congress that he participated in a coordinated effort to accuse President Joe Biden‘s family of corruption. Parnass stated that former President Donald Trump, Giuliani and many GOP politicians and conservative media members helped spread these lies.
Parnas was sentenced in June 2022 for fraud and campaign finance crimes.
On March 21, he gave his testimony at Biden’s impeachment hearing after Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland) asked him about when “the campaign to dig up dirt on Biden” turned into “a campaign to spread disinformation and lies about Biden.”
“Shortly after my arrest on October 9, 2019, to now, I have been trying to share the irrefutable truth with you,” Parnas stated. “The American people have been lied to by Donald Trump, Rudy Giuliani, and various cohorts of individuals in government and media positions.

The Republican impeachment push against President Joe Biden has always rested on the thinnest of evidentiary ice, but with one of their key informants facing criminal charges for lying to federal investigators, the charade is now on the verge of falling apart.
On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee — one of the three Republican-controlled committees overseeing the Biden impeachment inquiry — held a hearing in an attempt to salvage the effort.
Democrats brought in Lev Parnas, a former Rudy Giuliani crony who was a key figure in the Ukraine scandal that led to Trump’s first impeachment.

Hunter Biden skewered Republican efforts to impeach his father Wednesday ahead of his closed door testimony before Congress, calling the inquiry a “destructive political charade” and the supposed evidence a “house of cards of lies.”
During opening remarks before the House Judiciary and Oversight & Accountability Committees, the junior Biden denied any malfeasance during his work as a businessman, practicing lawyer, investor and artist.
“For more than a year, your Committees have hunted me in your partisan political pursuit of my dad,” Biden said in a prepared statement released ahead of his testimony.

Pay no attention to the discredited informant facing prison time.
GOP officials were scrambling Wednesday after Alexander Smirnov, a key witness in the impeachment proceedings against President Biden, was accused of being informed by Russian intelligence.
Smirnov was arrested last Thursday after Special Counsel David Weiss charged him on suspicion of providing the FBI with fraudulent information. Smirnov, an FBI informant for over a decade, was further discredited after a DOJ report Tuesday indicated he was not only lying to the FBI about Biden, but had “contacts with multiple foreign intelligence agencies.

FBI informant Alexander Smirnov has been indicted on charges of concoction of a multimillion-dollar bribery scheme that involved President Joe Biden, Biden’s son Hunter and a Ukrainian energy company.
The claims made by Smirnov have played a central role in the Republican-led impeachment inquiry against Biden.
Court documents say Smirnov, 43, falsely reported to the FBI in June 2020 that executives linked to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma had paid Hunter and Biden $5 million each in 2015 or 2016. Smirnov alleged that an executive had hired Hunter to leverage his father’s influence in order to avoid potential complications. However, prosecutors assert that Smirnov’s interactions with the company were routine business dealings in 2017, and he only made the bribery allegations after he expressed bias against Biden in his presidential candidacy.
After a brief appearance in Las Vegas court, Smirnov was charged with making false statements and creating a fictitious record. He did not enter a plea,...

House Republicans opposing sweeping reforms to the nation’s immigration law tried — and failed — to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas on Tuesday over his handling of border security.
Republicans, who hold a razor-slim majority over Democrats, could only afford to lose two votes on the resolution accusing Mayorkas of presiding “over a reckless abandonment of border security and immigration enforcement, at the expense of the Constitution and the security of the United States.” The vote was 214-216.

Controversial Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) stole the spotlight again for comments she made during an oversight committee hearing into Hunter Biden, the son of President Joe Biden. Hunter’s financial dealings have been a major focus of the House Republican majority.
It started when Greene asked to enter new evidence into the case. She wanted to submit images from Hunter’s laptop, which some consider to be an act of “revenge porn.” The ranking Democrat, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland), asked if she was submitting pornographic materials.
“The minority’s not provided a copy of the material,” Raskin said. “For the record, in the past, she’s displayed pornography. Are pornographic photos allowed to be displayed in this committee room, Mr. Chairman?”

According to House Democrats, former President Donald Trump received at least $7.8 million from foreign governments during two out of his four years in the White House.
The revelation came in a report released by the House Oversight Committee’s Democratic members on Thursday.
According to the report, 20 foreign governments in countries like Saudi Arabia and Kuwait helped finance Trump’s businesses within two years that the committee was able to look over.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Maryland), the committee’s top-ranking Democrat, mentioned in the report’s foreword that these payments originated from some rival governments. It was confirmed in the report that most of the money came from China, which paid $5.5 million to properties owned by Trump.
“This is a limited window on a far-broader universe of foreign government spending that took place,” Raskin told the reporters on Capitol Hill.

Hunter Biden said in a letter from his lawyer that he is willing to testify before a Republican-led House Oversight Committee on December 13.
Hunter was subpoenaed earlier this month to appear for a closed-door interview as part of Republican’s impeachment investigation into President Joe Biden.
“We have seen you use closed-door sessions to manipulate, even distort the facts and misinform the public,” wrote his lawyer Abbe Lowell to Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-Kentucky) on Tuesday.
“Your Committee has been working for almost a year— without success— to tie our client’s business activities to his father,” said Lowell. “You state that one of your purposes is to review how a President’s family’s business activities raise ethics and disclosure concerns to inform the basis for a legislative solution.”

According to a Tuesday letter addressed to committee Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), Biden agreed to testify before the committee on Dec. 13 — as long as the hearing was public. In the letter, Biden’s attorneys quoted Comer’s own demand, issued in November, that given Biden’s “willingness to address this investigation publicly up to this point, we would expect him to be willing to testify before Congress.

The GOP invited three witnesses to testify before the committee: Justice Department official Eileen O’Connor, law professor Jonathan Turley, and forensic accountant Bruce Dubinsky.

A bill to protect journalists from revealing their sources amid pressure from the federal government cleared the House Judiciary Committee in a unanimous vote today.
The legislation passed 23-0, an unusual show of bipartisanship on a committee often at loggerheads.
The Protect Reporters from Exploitive State Spying Act, or Press Act, is a response to instances of law enforcement agencies secretly seeking court orders emails and phone records from reporters in an effort to determine their sources. Lawmakers noted that such instances took place during the Trump and Obama administrations.
Under the terms of the legislation (read it here), the federal government cannot compel reporters to disclose their sources or notes. Exceptions are made if disclosure of the information is necessary to prevent terrorism of “a threat of imminent violence, significant bodily harm, or death, including specified offenses against a minor.”
The bill also restricts efforts to subpoena a journalist...

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) then moved to give Schiff a verbal rebuke as Democrats shouted “shame” and “disgrace.” They continued to shout as McCarthy began to read the censure resolution, to the point where the speaker said of the interruptions, “I have all night.” Members had surrounded Schiff as he appeared in the well of the House chamber to listen to the resolution.
After the vote, Schiff hugged and shook hands with Democratic colleagues, as some chanted, “Adam! Adam!”
Six members, all Republicans, voted present.
The resolution accuses Schiff of misleading the American public on Donald Trump and Russia.

The colorful 15,000-word profile features his unvarnished opinions, as well as intimate access, including a morning session with the polarizing executive’s physical trainer, who Licht refers to as his “one-man focus group.”
Staff writer Tim Alberta drew out his subject over a period of months, during which an embattled Licht has dealt with a series of tumultuous episodes at CNN, including anchor Don Lemon’s departure and a poorly received town hall event with former president Donald Trump. The article portrays a brash manager struggling to lead the news division of a media conglomerate amid widespread distrust among his rank-and-file while also catering to the whims of his own fickle, meddling boss: Warner Bros.

What Republicans presented on “judgment day” was a memo outlining more than $10 million in payments received by members of the Biden family from foreign businesses between 2015-2017. But the findings lacked a crucial detail — concrete evidence linking Biden...

By many measures, Rep. David Cicilline (D-r.I.) is a Very Important Democrat. He’s the Democratic leader of the House’s antitrust subcommittee, one of the chamber’s prestigious perches. In 2021, he and a team of fellow House lawmakers led the first-ever second impeachment of a president. He enjoys regular invitations to share his thoughts on Sunday cable news shows, the coin of a realm that tunes its news cycle to those soundbites.
Which made it all the more surprising when Cicilline announced last month that he’d be leaving Congress,...

Steven Van Zandt gifted Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin one of his signature bandanas in support of the four-term congressman’s ongoing chemotherapy treatment for cancer.
Raskin, who was diagnosed with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in late December, extended his thanks to “one of the greatest musicians on earth” for “a gift I will treasure almost as much as his song ‘I am a patriot.'” He added, “You are about to see a step up in my chemo head-cover fashions for the next few months. Rock on Stevie, keep spreading the light.”
“That gift is from all of us who want to thank you every day for giving us hope that there is a politician that cares about justice,” the E Street Band guitarist quickly responded. “Here’s to a rapid complete recovery.” See Steven Van Zandt and Jamie Raskin’s full exchange, plus the fetching bandana’s debut, below.

When the members of the House’s new subcommittee on the “weaponization of government” took their seats for the first time on Thursday afternoon, chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) promised its first hearing would expose the “political nature of the Justice Department.”
To make this point, Republican senators who testified before the committee offered falsehoods about Hillary Clinton and Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election.

The House select committee investigating the Jan. 6, 2021, insurrection released its final report on Thursday, concluding that former President Trump intentionally spread false claims about the 2020 election and instigated his supporters to attack the U.S. Capitol.
The long-anticipated, 845-page eight-chapter report brings an end to an 18-month investigation during which the committee interviewed over 1,000 witnesses and conducted nearly a dozen public hearings.

Update: The January 6th Committee recommended that the Justice Department pursue four criminal charges against former President Donald Trump along with others they claim helped orchestrate an effort to overturn the results of the 2020 election.
The charges include obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the United States, conspiracy to make a false statement and inciting, assisting or giving aid or comfort to an insurrection.
It will be up to the Justice Department to decide whether to file charges, but the move is the first time that a former president has faced a criminal referral such as this one.
Rep,. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who outlined the recommendations, also named for potential prosecution John Eastman, the college professor who pushed an effort to install “fake” electors in advance of the joint session of Congress to certify the election results.

The Jan. 6 committee announced on Monday that it will refer former President Donald Trump for criminal charges for his role in the attack on the Capitol as Congress was certifying the 2020 election.
The referral, which was expected, came during the committee’s final meeting before releasing the final report on its investigation into the events of Jan. 6, 2021 and the larger effort to keep Trump in office despite losing handily to Joe Biden. The committee has said it will release the report on Wednesday.

Steven A. Sund, the former chief of the U.S. Capitol Police, has inked a book deal with Blackstone Publishing, promising to reveal new details about the infamous day.
Courage Under Fire: Under Siege and Outnumbered 58 to 1 on January 6 will be published on January 3, 2023, just before the 2-year anniversary of the assault on the capitol building. Deadline understands the publishing deal is in the seven-figure range.
The book includes photographs never seen before and draws on audio recordings, documents, government records and Sund’s own experiences. “It’s almost two years after January 6 and the American people still don’t know the truth,” Sund said in a press release. “It’s time to break my silence and reveal everything that I know happened.”

As the congressional committee’s investigation into the Jan. 6 Capitol riots continues to unfurl across publicly broadcast hearings, more and more shocking information has come to light. Among the major revelations is that the text messages sent by Secret Service agents on and before the insurrection were missing due to a pre-planned “system migration.”
That explanation doesn’t appear to have convinced Rep. Jamie Raskin, a Maryland Congressman who sits on the House committee investigating the events of Jan. 6.
“I don’t really buy that for one minute,” Raskin said Monday on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.” “For one thing, isn’t it a little odd that all of the texts would vanish for Jan. 6 and Jan. 5? Of all the days, what an odd coincide that is. There was a pre-planned migration of the phone that just happened to be on the same day as the first violent insurrection in American history?...

The Jan. 6 committee began its seventh public hearing on Tuesday by laying out the extent to which former President Trump had been informed by those around him that there was no evidence the election was stolen. Trump was undeterred. The tension between the former president and the fellow election conspiracy theorists he surrounded himself and the administration figures who acknowledged Biden’s win boiled over during a heated Dec. 18 meeting at the White House.
Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) described the meeting as “heated and profane,” noting that it included “challenges to a physical fight.

Cassidy Hutchinson, a former aide to Mark Meadows, testified before the Jan. 6 committee on Tuesday that the former chief of staff told her things might get “real, real bad on Jan. 6.”
The warning came on Jan. 2, 2021, after former Trump attorney Rudy Giuliani told Hutchinson she should be “excited” about what was going to happen in four days. Hutchinson said Giuliani said something to the effect of, “We’re going to the Capitol, it’s going to be great. The president is going to be there. He’s going to look powerful.

“Words have consequences and his words hurt a lot of people in our community,” Rivera wrote in a statement. “I want to make it clear that our organization will not tolerate any equivalency between those who demanded justice in the wake of George Floyd’s murder and the actions of those on January 6 who sought to topple our government.”

Seth Meyers is pretty sure that you could get Rudy Giuliani to anywhere – even the January 6 committee hearings – if you let him wear his costume from his stint on “The Masked Singer.”
The late-night host presented his hypothesis during his “A Closer Look” segment on Thursday night, in which he discussed what might be seen during the televised hearings. Of course, because “Late Night” was taped well before the hearings began, Meyers could only make educated guesses on the content.
That said, the host noted that his biggest hope was that Congress “really jazzed it up for TV” and brought out special guests. As an example, Meyers spliced together a clip of Congressman Jamie Raskin teeing up witnesses to be sworn in and the moment Giuliani was revealed on the hit Fox singing competition.
“I’m guessing you could trick Rudy Giuliani into going anywhere if you put him in a jack-in-the-box costume like that,...
