3:05pm- According to Brad Dress of The Hill, “the feud between former President Trump and the nation’s highest-ranking military officer, Gen. Mark Milley, played a key role in the historic indictment handed down last week over Trump’s alleged criminal mishandling of classified documents. Key audio in the case captured…Trump [claiming] he had a document about a ‘plan of attack’ on Iran…and he admitted he knew the document was secret and not declassified by him, contradicting some of his claims in the case.” Dress reveals that “[i]t’s unclear whether the document in question exists.” You can read the full article here: https://thehill.com/policy/defense/4046504-trump-milley-feud-played-key-role-in-classified-documents-case/

3:15pm- In the Atlantic, Ryan Goodman and Andrew Weissmann hypothesize that former President Donald Trump could face additional charges in New Jersey. They write, “Justice Department prosecutors could not necessarily bring charges against Trump in Miami for alleged criminal conduct that occurred in another state, in this case New Jersey. But the absence of such charges in the indictment raises the intriguing possibility of another indictment to come, in a jurisdiction, no less, with a pool of jurors and judges more favorable to the government’s case against Trump.” You can read the full article here: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2023/06/trump-indictment-florida-new-jersey-classified/674393/
