A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo.
Special Counsel Jack Smith’s probe has subpoenaed Rudy Giuliani has part of its investigation into Trump’s fundraising after the 2020 election, according to CNN.
Does this mean his hair will melt even more?
IANAL, but I figure, anyone who wants Norm Pattis as their lawyer, entirely deserves Norm Pattis as their lawyer, come what may. I mean, if a criminal defendant wants to be defended by a soggy box of stunningly stupid gravel, why should the court deny them that?
