<description>A new court-record entry separates the appellate ruling on John Sarcone’s appointment authority and subpoena validity from the merits of the underlying investigations; DOJ says it intends to seek Supreme Court review.</description>

<description>New outside-allies profile separates Lindell’s lawful candidate-funded hand-recount request from his claims of computer manipulation, sample-ballot vulnerabilities, Minnesota voter-ID rules and his renewed 2020 voting-machine dossier. The Minnesota recount is still pending, so the current manipulation rating is explicitly provisional rather than a prejudgment of the hand count.</description>

<description>Leavitt’s February 2025 4.5% figure matches the approximate annualized pace of the prior three months of CPI data; the underlying cumulative three-month increase was roughly 1.2%, so the missing annualization qualifier materially changes how the number reads.</description>

<description>Chief Justice Roberts temporarily paused the ballroom injunction while the Supreme Court considers the emergency stay request; the site now distinguishes that administrative stay from a merits ruling.

<description>The hub now distinguishes the well-supported record that Trump wanted to go to the Capitol from Cassidy Hutchinson’s secondhand steering-wheel/lunge account, preserving the Select Committee’s corroborating “irate” witness evidence and the later Republican-led House oversight report’s non-corroboration/denial record side by side.</description>

<description>Congressional records preserve Gen.

The exact call date is not fixed in the public hearing record, and broader committee conclusions remain separately labeled.</description>

<description>A 2024 federal prosecution filing says Trump called Pence on January 1 after the Gohmert filing and warned of political backlash when Pence again said he lacked authority to choose electoral votes.

The record also incorporates the Supreme Court’s June 2026 Mullin v. Doe ruling, which strengthens Miller’s narrower TPS example while leaving the blanket claim overbroad.</description>

A DOJ sentencing record separately places police forming an advancing Rotunda line at about 3:06 PM, with defendant conduct kept individualized.</description>

<title>January 6 Pence-pressure record adds Marc Short’s January 5 Secret Service warning</title>
<link>https://www.trumpsmouth.com/hubs/january-6/election-pressure/#pence-pressure-short-secret-service-warning-2021-01-05</link>
<description>Marc Short’s recorded testimony says he alerted Pence’s Secret Service detail because he expected Trump could lash out as the electoral-count dispute became public and Short was concerned for Pence’s security. The hub keeps the testimony separate from later committee conclusions and does not treat it as proof of foreknowledge of the attack.</description>

<description>Kenyon’s adjudicated federal record now links a 2:36 PM Upper West Terrace entry, 2:44 PM House Chamber-door presence, 2:48 PM House Appropriations room entry, 3:00 PM third-floor removal and 3:26 PM final ejection. The record remains defendant-specific.</description>

<title>Trump North Korea record adds 57-warhead claim and planned Kim meeting</title>
<link>https://www.trumpsmouth.com/people/donald-trump/claims/2026/08/#north-korea-57-warheads-kim-meeting-2026-08-19</link>
<description>Trump says North Korea has exactly 57 nuclear weapons and expects to meet Kim Jong Un later in 2026. Public CRS and SIPRI estimates make the number plausible but not independently verifiable as an exact count; the prior outreach-response claim is also updated with Kim Yo Jong’s public dispute.</description>

<guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.trumpsmouth.com/people/karoline-leavitt/#leavitt-2025-11-20-lawmakers-lawful-orders</guid>
<pubDate>Wed, 19 Aug 2026 13:55:48 -0500</pubDate>
<description>The lawmakers’ video told military and intelligence personnel to refuse illegal or unlawful orders; Leavitt described it as encouraging them to defy Trump’s lawful orders. The review distinguishes that wording reversal from the separate chain-of-command concern.</description>

<description>Reuters reports Canadian negotiators returned to Ottawa to finalize the preliminary U.S.–Canada agreement after Trump’s three-day tariff pause; unresolved auto-tariff details remain, so the site distinguishes a preliminary agreement from final signed terms.</description>

<pubDate>Wed, 19 Aug 2026 13:09:22 -0500</pubDate>
<description>BLS payroll data support Leavitt’s private-sector point, but the published native-/foreign-born CPS employment levels carry methodological warnings that make a precise “100%” nativity allocation unreliable. The review separates the supported payroll claim from the weaker household-survey inference.</description>

<pubDate>Wed, 19 Aug 2026 12:55:22 -0500</pubDate>
<description>BLS confirms inflation reached 9.1% in June 2022, the highest 12-month CPI increase in about 40 years, but not an all-time record; the review preserves the supported four-decade comparison while correcting the “record high” wording.</description>

<description>CBO found the House-passed reconciliation bill would increase deficits under the standard current-law baseline even after macroeconomic feedback; the review separates real spending cuts from Miller’s alternative-baseline argument that the bill overall reduced the deficit.</description>

<description>DOE and Reuters independently match Leavitt’s statement that the U.S. had begun marketing Venezuelan crude and would route proceeds first through U.S.-controlled accounts; the review separates that documented mechanism from the administration’s broader claim that it would ultimately benefit both countries.</description>

<pubDate>Wed, 19 Aug 2026 09:47:00 -0500</pubDate>
<description>DHS-reported counts support a sharp rise in assaults on ICE personnel, including a roughly twelve-fold year-over-year increase, while the review adds missing baseline, exposure and methodology context for the 1,200%, 3,200% and 8,000% percentages.</description>

<description>Committee-preserved testimony and a displayed draft executive order now document the contentious December 18 White House meeting over voting-machine seizure and a possible Sidney Powell special-counsel role; the December 19 “will be wild” post is logged separately from the committee’s causal interpretation.</description>

<description>BLS data support lower core inflation and year-over-year real wage gains, while the review distinguishes the White House’s derived 2.4% annualized measure from BLS’s standard 2.6% 12-month core CPI rate and from the rhetorical claim that inflation was “defeated.”</description>
