A week after the newest indictment of the former president, Jack Smith’s investigation remains ongoing.
Special counsel Jack Smith’s probe of efforts by Donald Trump and others to subvert the 2020 election remains ongoing — with at least one interview this week that focused on fundraising and spending by Trump’s political action committee.
Meanwhile, the grand jury that indicted Trump last week was spotted meeting Tuesday in the federal courthouse in Washington.
In a closed-door interview on Monday with Bernard Kerik, investigators asked multiple questions about the Save America PAC’s enormous fundraising haul in the weeks between Election Day and the Jan. 6, 2021, attack on the Capitol, according to Kerik’s lawyer, Tim Parlatore, who was present for the interview and shared details with POLITICO.
“It’s a laser focus from Election Day to Jan. 6,” Parlatore said.
The special counsel has long been thought to be scrutinizing whether Trump or his PAC violated federal laws by raising money off claims of voter fraud they knew were false. Last week’s indictment of Trump, on charges that he conspired to overturn the results of the 2020 election, did not include any allegations of financial crime.
But the interview with Kerik, a longtime ally of Rudy Giuliani, shows that Smith’s team is still gathering information about how Trump and his allies handled the post-election period, and that investigators’ interest in Trump-related finances continues. Kerik, who served as New York City police commissioner when Giuliani was mayor, helped Giuliani in his efforts to contest the results of the election in the weeks leading up to Jan. 6.
The interview, as described to POLITICO, is the clearest indication of Smith’s focus after last week’s historic indictment and arraignment. While six alleged co-conspirators, including Giuliani, were identified in the indictment, none have been charged. But the continued presence at the courthouse of the grand jury overseeing the matter suggested that additional charges may still be forthcoming.
Months after Trump left office, Giuliani’s allies urged him to use Save America funds to pay Giuliani for his post-election legal work, according to The New York Times.
Parlatore said Smith’s team didn’t ask any questions about Jenna Ellis –– another lawyer who worked on Trump’s efforts to contest the election –– or about Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff in his final days as president. The team did ask a few questions about Boris Epshteyn, a lawyer who worked with Trump after Election Day and who now works on his campaign and as his in-house counsel. And the investigators asked multiple questions about Justin Clark, who was deputy campaign manager of Trump’s re-election bid, Parlatore added.
There was significant tension between Clark and Giuliani over Trump’s strategy of contesting the results in Georgia, where Joe Biden narrowly won. Kerik described to the special counsel’s team a contentious phone call where Giuliani yelled at Clark and called him a liar, Parlatore said.
I guess that means that more evidence of treason and bribery against Biden is coming out.
Beat me to it.
“He’s still looking for that Ham Sandwich......................”
Remarks like that smack of government obstruction. Expect your indictment any day.
Yep, if they looked at Biden with 1% of the scrutiny they have given Trump, they would indict the whole Biden crime family.
This is a LAWFARE INSURRECTION!!!
WHY THEY WANT YOUR GUNS!
He is either guilty or not guilty. Let the facts be known.
Then put this to bed and move on down the road.

The Demoncrats are in a super panic mode. Indicting Trump is their final play short of going kinetic, so all they can do now is keep on pumping out more indictments. They watch the polls and the crap they have done so far has only increased his poll numbers. Imagine what that is doing to their psyche. I’m convinced Trump has been sitting on the Space Force’s hard proof on election fraud. Now that Jack Smith’s criminal case has opened the subpoena door for Trump, get ready for one helluva show. What happens when it’s proven to the world that Smith, knew the 2020 election was stolen and instead went ahead falsely claiming Trump is the liar, even interfering with a presidential election by prosecuting an innocent presidential candidate? Is the 2020 election a nullity and do Smith and the whole gang of crooks go to jail? That’s why Trump wants cameras in the courtroom for the show trial of the century.
No way the Judge will allow camera in the courtroom. As for evidence, Trumps going to be railroaded. The judge will decline a narrow path of evidence and strangle Trump.

Yuppers!
Just saw 5:37:09am post made by Red Badger. It reads:
“EXC: Biden Energy Secretary Held Secret Talks With Chinese Officials Tied to Hunter Biden’s Investment Before US Drained Oil Reserves”.
I donated, I knew exactly where and why I sent my money. These people have lost all morality.
I agree. The trials are going to be fascinating. If trump is innocent, his lawyers will prove that in court. It doesn’t matter how many indictments there are as long as trump didn’t do anything wrong.
The GOP needs to get off its ass and start bringing indictments against the Biden Crime Family and get Harris a stand up comedian job and out of the VP slot.
The 2 biggest BS things repeated over and over by the medie.
claims of voter fraud they knew were false and insurection.
WOW! Lots of DeSantis supporters on here. Too bad. He’s a great Governor, but it’s not his time for President. Trump will win!
This bullshit is so very predictable, isn’t it? It’s a wonder that CaveIn McCarthy has so much difficulty seeing it.
