Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

This is the best summary I could come up with:
Nauta provides a rare look into the jumbled and hasty exit Trump made from the White House in 2021, after weeks and even months of partial and sometimes outright refusal to work with the Biden transition team.
As Trump was consumed by his efforts to overturn the election based on false conspiracy theories, Nauta’s testimony makes clear that the former president’s aides and departing staff were left with little oversight or support for their work to complete transition duties.
The filings also hint at the turbulent mindset of the former president during those days, which may be used by prosecutors to explain why he allegedly retained classified materials for his personal collection instead of turning them over to federal authorities.
On Tuesday, the trial is set to reach a new milestone with the expected testimony of Stormy Daniels, the adult film star who alleges that she had an affair with the former president, which he denies.
Judge Aileen Cannon just removed a deadline for his team to submit a key filing, which was originally set for this coming Thursday.
Trump’s team has pursued a strategy of pushing back deadlines and slow-walking the various legal cases he finds himself involved in.
