CNN —
Federal prosecutors have filed a new criminal case against Hunter Biden, people briefed on the matter said.
The exact nature of the charges couldn’t immediately be learned because court documents have not been made public.
Special counsel David Weiss, in recent weeks, has been using a federal grand jury in Los Angeles to gather testimony and evidence on possible criminal tax charges against President Joe Biden’s son.
Hunter Biden already faces criminal charges in Delaware related to a gun purchase.

3 hours ago -
A University of Pennsylvania donor is withdrawing a gift worth around $100 million to protest the school's response to antisemitism on campus.
The big picture: The final straw for Ross Stevens, founder and CEO of Stone Ridge Asset Management, was Tuesday's widely criticized congressional testimony by Penn president Liz Magill.
.........................
...........................
Stevens, in a letter from his lawyers to Penn, alleges that the school has violated the terms of the limited partnership agreement, including its anti-discrimination and anti-harassment policies.
Referring to Penn, Stevens writes: "Its permissive approach to hate speech caling for violence against Jews and laissez faire attitude toward harassment and discrimination against Jewish students would violate any policies of rules that prohibit harassment and discrimination based on religion, including those of Stone Ridge."....................................

Trump has moved to stop any further proceedings in his DC prosecution while he appeals Judge Chutkan's rulings against him. My favorite bit is where his lawyers say they'll assume everything is stayed unless they hear back to the contrary. Oh to be the judge who gets to respond!

Justice Department prosecutors will introduce evidence at former President Donald Trump’s upcoming trial over the 2020 election alleging his campaign “encouraged rioting” to stop the vote count in Michigan, prosecutors said in a filing Tuesday, as the DOJ outlined some of the evidence it plans to use to prove Trump illegally tried to overturn his election loss.

Key Facts
Special Counsel Jack Smith, who’s leading the DOJ’s investigation, submitted a court filing Tuesday noting evidence prosecutors plan to use at the March 2024 trial that will help to “establish [Trump’s motive, intent, preparation, knowledge, absence of mistake, and common plan.”
While the indictment already alleges Trump and his allies unlawfully pressured state officials to change the election results, prosecutors also plan to introduce text messages between a Trump campaign staffer and a campaign attorney who was at a vote counting site in Detroit, in which the campaign employee allegedly “encouraged rioting and other methods of obstruction when he learned that the vote count was trending in favor of [President Joe Biden]
Prosecutors will also show evidence that “around the time” of those text messages, “as Biden began to take the lead, a large number of untrained individuals flooded the [vote counting center] and began making illegitimate and aggressive challenges to the vote count.”
While Trump then used those challenges to the vote count to make “repeated false claims regarding election activities” in Detroit, prosecutors allege that “in truth his agent was seeking to cause a riot to disrupt the count.”
Prosecutors also plan to introduce evidence from the years before and after the 2020 election, such as statements that Trump made claiming election fraud after previous elections in 2012 and 2016, which prosecutors argue demonstrates Trump’s “common plan of falsely blaming fraud for election results he does not like.”
