Arizona Officials Warned Fake Electors Plan Could ‘Appear Treasonous’

Two Arizona Republicans recruited by allies of former President Donald J. Trump to join an effort to keep him in office after he lost the 2020 election grew so concerned about the plan that they told lawyers working on it that they feared their actions could be seen as treason, according to emails reviewed by The New York Times.

Kelli Ward, the chairwoman of the Arizona Republican Party, and Kelly Townsend, a state senator, were both said to have expressed concerns to Mr. Trump’s lawyers in December 2020 about participating in a plan to sign on to a slate of electors claiming that Mr. Trump had won Arizona, even though Joseph R. Biden Jr. had won the state.

The scheme was part of a broader bid — one of the longest running and most complicated that Mr. Trump undertook as he sought to cling to power after losing the 2020 presidential election — to falsely manufacture a victory for him by creating fake slates of electors in battleground states who would claim that he had been the true winner.

Elizabeth Warrewn calls out McCarthy

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) tore into House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy on Sunday calling him a “liar and a traitor” after audio confirmed that McCarthy did say he wanted then-President Donald Trump to resign following the Jan. 6, 2021, Capitol riot, a stance he denied having.

“Kevin McCarthy is a liar and a traitor. This is outrageous. And that is really the illness that pervades the Republican leadership right now. That they say one thing to the American public and something else in private,” Warren said on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

McCarthy on Thursday flat-out denied a New York Times report that he planned to counsel Trump to resign, calling it “totally false and wrong.” Hours later, the Times published audio of McCarthy saying he planned to do just that.

“It would be my recommendation that he should resign,” McCarthy was heard telling fellow GOP House leaders in a Jan. 10, 2021, call discussing the Capitol attack’s aftermath.

Former White House aide Omarosa Manigault Newman has been ordered to pay more than $61,000 after a federal judge said Tuesday that she “willfully” refused to file financial disclosure documents after being fired from the Trump administration in 2017.

The 1978 Ethics in Government Act required Manigault Newman, who served as communications director for the White House Office of Public Liaison, to file a public financial disclosure report within 30 days of her termination on Dec. 12, 2017. Her report wasn’t received until September 2019, three months after a federal lawsuit was filed against her over her failure to comply, the federal government said.

“Manigault Newman’s years-long failure to comply with the EIGA after ‘many written and verbal reminders’ is a ‘flagrant’ violation warranting imposition of ‘the full penalty,’” U.S. District Judge Richard Leon concluded, while ordering her to pay the maximum $50,000 penalty, plus an additional $11,585 for inflation.

Trump apeals court appearanceDonald Trump on Monday appealed a judge's ruling that he answer questions under oath in a civil probe by New York's attorney general into the former U.S. president's business practices.

The appeal, which was expected, will delay Attorney General Letitia James from obtaining testimony from Trump and his two oldest children, Donald Trump Jr and Ivanka Trump, possibly for months.

Justice Arthur Engoron of a state court in Manhattan had on Feb. 17 said James had a "clear right" to question the Trumps in her probe into the Trump Organization, after her office had found "copious evidence of possible financial fraud."

State courts shake up Pennsylvania, North Carolina with new House lines

New House lines for Pa, and NC

Judges in Pennsylvania and North Carolina handed down new congressional maps on Wednesday that will affect the layout of 31 congressional seats, finalizing district lines in one state and inching closer to resolution in the other.

In Pennsylvania, the state Supreme Court adopted a map that made few changes to the current districts but erased one Republican-held seat, while in North Carolina, a panel of judges adopted a map drawn by a special master that would likely split the congressional delegation evenly, a big boost for Democrats, who currently hold five out of 13 seats.

The North Carolina order would make bigger changes to the makeup of the House, but it may not be enacted: Republican lawmakers in North Carolina quickly announced they’d appeal the new maps to the state Supreme Court. If left in place, both maps look set to draw a pair of GOP congressmen into the same district in each state, kicking off expensive primary fights.
