GOP state lawmaker arrested in Alabama on felony voter fraud charges
Alabama state Rep. David Cole (R) on Tuesday was arrested and charged with voter fraud on accusations he voted in “multiple or unauthorized locations,” according to jail records provided by Madison County Sheriff’s Office.

According to the sheriff’s records, Cole was booked Tuesday afternoon and released on bail amounting to $2,500. The charge is a Class C felony, meaning conviction could result in up to 10 years in prison.

Al.com, a local news outlet, said Attorney General Steve Marshall’s office confirmed he was prosecuting the case.

Additional details of the charges were not immediately available in court records. However, the arrest comes after increased scrutiny over Cole’s primary residence.

Cole was elected to represent District 10 in the Alabama legislature, but local reports claimed Cole actually lived in District 4, which would violate state law. Libertarian candidate Elijah Boyd challenged the election results in court.

In a deposition in May, according to reports, Cole sat for more than two hours answering questions that centered on whether Cole truly lived at the District 10 home listed as his residence.

During the deposition, he said he could not remember whether he had moved any personal property into the home. He also said he could not recall whether he had ever slept at the home overnight and said he could not recall ever eating a meal at the home or bathing there.

Alabama House Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter (R) issued a statement Tuesday, according to multiple reports, and said the investigation was ongoing and he was waiting for more details to emerge. He stressed the importance of election integrity.

“In recent years, the Alabama House has prioritized legislation that promotes election integrity, and we believe that any allegation of fraud must be addressed regardless of the party, public official, or candidate involved,” the statement read.

“Alabamians may remain confident that their elections are conducted honestly, their votes are cast and counted fairly, and their ballot boxes are secure. Now, it is up to a court of law to determine the validity of the allegations Cole is facing, and I anticipate Alabama’s election laws will withstand their true intent,” Ledbetter continued.

Report: DOJ Tells Jim Jordan Subpoenas Not Enforceable
The Biden administration's Department of Justice on Tuesday night said it will not cooperate with a House committee's subpoenas for two FBI agents involved in the department's investigation of Hunter Biden, the Washington Examiner reported.

The DOJ says it will not cooperate because the House Judiciary Committee had prohibited department lawyers at the agents' depositions, DOJ Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte claimed in a letter to committee Chair Jim Jordan, R-Ohio.
A copy of the letter was obtained by the Examiner.

Uriarte told Jordan his subpoenas to the two agents, special agents Thomas Sobocinski and Ryeshia Holley of the FBI's Baltimore Field Office, "lack legal effect and cannot constitutionally be enforced."

"The subpoenas issued by the Committee prohibit the attendance of agency counsel at appearances by two FBI employees where the Committee has indicated it will ask questions regarding information they learned within the scope of their official duties, including regarding the ongoing criminal investigation," Uriarte wrote, the Examiner reported.

The Judiciary Committee's deposition rule aligns with House rules, which do not permit department counsel at depositions.
Uriarte added that compelling testimony from the two FBI agents "was premature" because the DOJ was open to continuing "discussions" with Jordan, the Examiner said.

The House Judiciary and Ways and Means Committees early last week subpoenaed IRS investigators and DOJ officials present at or with direct knowledge of a 2022 meeting in which U.S. Attorney for Delaware David Weiss allegedly claimed he was prevented from bringing charges against Hunter Biden for tax crimes.

The subpoenas issued came after the DOJ and IRS refused to comply with multiple requests for voluntary transcribed interviews with the witnesses, including Sobocinski and Holley.

In the letter to Jordan, Uriarte indicated that "good-faith" negotiations to have the two agents appear voluntarily with DOJ lawyers instead of appearing in the form of a deposition remained possible.

However, the assistant attorney general made it clear that the DOJ's Biden investigation, led by special counsel Weiss, was ongoing and that information flow would be limited, the Examiner reported.

"The Department therefore safeguards non-public information about open investigations, sensitive law enforcement information, and internal deliberations," Uriarte wrote to Jordan. "This protects the public interest in the integrity and fairness of criminal investigations and proceedings. These concerns are heightened while a matter is open and investigative steps, prosecutorial decisions, or judicial proceedings are ongoing. As Mr. Weiss and his office have repeatedly stated, his investigation remains ongoing."

Delaware U.S. District Court Judge Maryellen Noreika rejected a proposed plea deal on July 26 when she questioned aspects of the agreement for Hunter Biden to plead guilty to tax charges and avoid a gun charge.

Judge Rejects Key Defense for Former Trump Adviser Navarro
Peter Navarro, who is facing a charge of contempt of Congress, will not be able to argue that former President Donald Trump asserted executive privilege to prevent him from testifying in front of a House committee investigating the events of Jan. 6, 2021, a federal judge ruled.

U.S. District Judge Amit P. Mehta ruled against Navarro, a former adviser in the Trump White House, during an evidentiary hearing Monday in Washington, D.C., CNN reported. Navarro, who has pleaded not guilty to charges of refusing to provide testimony and refusing to provide documents, is set to go on trial Tuesday.

In a hearing Wednesday, Mehta said there was no evidence that Trump had formally invoked the privilege to shield Navarro from testifying in front of Congress, CBS News reported. The judge ruled Navarro can't use his contention that Trump asserted privilege as a defense at trial.

Navarro, speaking to reporters after Wednesday's hearing, said Mehta's ruling concerned "very complex and important constitutional issues related to the separation of powers between the legislative branch and the executive branch."

He said it's possible Mehta's ruling will be appealed.

"These are questions that will certainly move up the chains — the appellate level. And as I said at the beginning, this is probably going to the Supreme Court because this is so important," Navarro said, according to CNN. "You can't have a Congress, a partisan Congress, that abuses the subpoena process for the purpose of punishing the party that's out of power."

"The Green Bay Sweep" gesticulator thinks too highly of himself. The Defendant was likely impressed by his hand jobs. I doubt SCOTUS will even consider his case.
