Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has filed a federal lawsuit against Republican House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, accusing him of attempting to intimidate and attack him over his prosecution of former President Donald Trump. Bragg is asking the court to invalidate the subpoenas that Jordan has issued or plans to issue as part of the investigation, including one for former Assistant DA Mark Pomerantz. Bragg has argued that allowing Jordan's demands would cause “imminent irreparable harm” and has asked the court to block the subpoenas and protect the privileged material from being disclosed.

Pinal County Sheriff Mark Lamb has announced his candidacy for the U.S. Senate in Arizona, becoming the first Republican to enter the race for the seat currently held by independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema. Lamb is a vocal supporter of former President Trump and his advocacy for tougher immigration and drug smuggling laws, and has been a frequent guest on Fox News discussing immigration issues and criticizing Covid-19 vaccine requirements. His candidacy is likely to be welcomed by the Republican base, as his record of support for President Trump and his hardline stance on immigration is popular among the party's supporters.
Donald Trump has attempted to block former Vice President Mike Pence from testifying before a grand jury investigating the former president’s role in the Jan. 6 riot and efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. However, Trump's motion was denied by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. Stephen Miller was seen entering the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C. on Tuesday, and Trump has since filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia to contest the court's decision. It is unclear when the court will rule on the appeal.
A federal judge in New York is seeking to determine whether former President Donald Trump will attend a trial this month stemming from a rape allegation made by writer E. Jean Carroll. The trial is set to begin on March 22nd and will address the allegation that Trump raped Carroll in the early 1990s. U.S. District Judge Lewis A. Kaplan has asked Trump’s lawyers to provide an answer to the question of whether or not he will be present at the trial and has rejected a request to release the names of anonymous jurors. The trial is expected to last for two weeks and will have major implications for Trump and his reputation.

It is unclear if Trump will answer questions in this upcoming deposition, or if he will continue to invoke his Fifth Amendment rights.

It is unclear how the appeal will affect the investigation.
The Department of Justice has filed a request in a federal appeals court to block a ruling from a Trump-appointed judge that would have endangered access to the abortion pill mifepristone. The Biden administration is arguing that the ruling is "extraordinary and unprecedented" and should be stayed pending appeal. The FDA approved mifepristone in 2000 and it has since become one of the most commonly used abortion pills, used in combination with another drug to terminate a pregnancy.
