Trump

The Story

Authorities are on high alert ahead of former President Trump's appearance in federal court.

Catch me up.

Over the weekend, the Justice Department unsealed an indictment against Trump. He faces at least 37 counts, including withholding national defense information. The indictment says the former president allegedly collected "hundreds of classified documents" and kept them at his Mar-a-Lago home, including in a bathroom and ballroom. The classified docs allegedly contained highly sensitive information from the CIA and DoD — like the US's nuclear programs or the country's potential vulnerability to military attacks. Now, Trump is expected to appear in a Miami federal courtroom tomorrow afternoon.

Tell me more.

Ahead of Trump's arrival, federal and local Miami officials are preparing safety measures amid planned protests outside of the court building and potentially across the country. FBI special agents are also reportedly monitoring chatrooms and leads for signs of possible threats, but there have been none so far. Meanwhile, Trump maintains the indictment is a "a political hit job." Many Democrats say "no one's above the law." As for the rest of the country, one poll found the indictment has divided many Americans.

Trump faces more than three dozen federal charges. While this case plays out in the judicial system, there are still other cases and investigations unfolding in the background…along with the 2024 election.

 
And Also...This

Where people are relieved…

Colombia. Over the weekend, Colombian soldiers rescued four indigenous children who were lost in the Amazon jungle for 40 days after a plane crash. Three adults — including the children's mother — did not survive the accident. The Colombian government sent 150 soldiers to look for the children, ages 13, 9, 4, and 1. After weeks of searching, the siblings were found after officials noticed footprints, a baby bottle, and a diaper. Authorities said the children relied on cassava flour, seeds, and fruit to stay alive. Now, the kids are recovering at a hospital. Colombia's president called them an "example of survival" and said their story "will remain in history."


Who people are talking about...

The Unabomber. Over the weekend, Ted Kaczynski was found dead in his prison cell. He was 81. Kaczynski was serving life in prison for committing 16 bombings between 1978 and 1995 — killing three people and permanently injuring several others. His early attacks at universities and airlines led the FBI to call him "the unabomber." Kaczynski's death is reportedly being investigated as a possible suicide.


Who's passing the baton…

George Soros. Yesterday, The Wall Street Journal reported the investor and philanthropist is passing his $25 billion legacy to his son, Alex Soros. The Soros empire distributes over $1.5 billion each year through its nonprofit. It also donates tens of millions of dollars to Democratic groups and candidates through its super PAC. Now, George Soros, who's been a right-wing target, says his son has "earned" the keys to the empire.


Why people are saying 'bravo'...

The Tony Awards. Yesterday, Alex Newell of "Shucked" and J. Harrison Ghee of "Some Like It Hot" became the first openly nonbinary performers to win Tonys for acting. Some of the other big winners of the night: "Leopoldstadt" won for best play and "Kimberly Akimbo" for best musical. Cue: Standing ovation.

USAO Western District of North Carolina

Charlotte, North Carolina
Announcement #: 23-NCW-12002212-AUSA
Application Deadline: June 23, 2023

The United States Attorney for the Western District of North Carolina seeks an experienced attorney to serve in the Criminal Division as a prosecutor and as the Tribal Liaison.

The Western District of North Carolina is home to two federally recognized Tribes: the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and the Catawba Nation. The Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is the largest Native American Tribe in the eastern part of the United States. Approximately 10,000 of the Tribe's over 16,000+ enrolled members reside on trust lands that span five of North Carolina's western-most counties. The town of Cherokee lies approximately one hour's drive west of Asheville.

The newest parcel of Native American trust land in the eastern part of the United States belongs to the Catawba Nation. Approximately 17 acres of trust lands were established in 2020 near Kings Mountain, North Carolina, a little less than two hour's drive southeast of Asheville. The Tribe's over 3,000+ enrolled members mostly reside in and around Rock Hill, South Carolina.

The applicant selected to become an Assistant United States Attorney would be responsible for cultivating relationships with Tribal, federal, state, and local partners as the Office's Tribal Liaison. Duties of the Tribal Liaison include sponsoring relationships and facilitating communication between various individuals and agencies responsible for public safety in Indian country, developing expertise regarding Indian law, providing training and education to law enforcement partners to improve relationships and policing in Indian country, consulting with Tribal governments as they create and refine legal systems and processes, developing and engaging with multi-disciplinary teams on child/sexual abuse and domestic violence, and serving as a point of contact in the District for all matters arising out of Tribal lands.

The Tribal Liaison also would be primarily responsible for all federal criminal prosecutions arising from Indian country. These cover a wide variety of federal crimes, including murder, felonious assault, domestic violence, sexual abuse, drugs, firearms, human trafficking, and other crimes. Of particular concern are rising numbers of opioid- and fentanyl-related drug overdoses, violent crime, and cold cases involving missing and murdered indigenous people.

The selected candidate would work out of the branch office in Asheville, North Carolina, a beautiful city nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Frequent travel within the District is expected, with occasional travel to other areas of the country.

Responsibilities will increase and assignments will become more complex as your training and experience progress.
