Trump recently surprised some advisers by saying he might declare his candidacy on social media without warning even his own team, and aides are scrambling to build out basic campaign infrastructure in time for an announcement as early as this month. https://t.co/7ZKqgqqySn — PolitiTweet.org

One interesting question for the Secret Service agents will be — not just whether Trump did or didn't lunge for the steering wheel & SS agent — but whether these agents told Hutchinson some version of the story she shared yesterday. — PolitiTweet.org

Current and former aides to Mr. Trump sent one another messages as the hearing took place, describing a series of disclosures that they conceded were potentially quite damaging, mostly politically but also, potentially, legally. https://t.co/3wjaRMQ6U5 — PolitiTweet.org

In their initial account of what happened, the police said Mr. Gill, a Staten Island resident who works at the store, had slapped the elder Mr. Giuliani, a former New York City mayor, on the back while saying, “What’s up, scumbag?” — PolitiTweet.org

The talons are out in Trump World for Cassidy Hutchinson in an attempt to undermine her credibility—but there's also a sense of dread about implications for Trump. "It's a killer," a well-placed Trump adviser told me. Mulvaney, meanwhile, says things "will get worse from here." — PolitiTweet.org

The night before his J6 rally, Trump asked aides if they thought the day would be peaceful — and then doubted an aide who said he thought everything would be fine. “Well,” Trump ominously responded. “Don’t forget these people are fired up.” https://t.co/DIIASZokoZ — PolitiTweet.org

With Roe on the verge of being overturned, Georgetown law prof says “liberals should reconsider a constitutional theory that many of them championed for the first half of the 20th century yet abandoned during the 1960s -- judicial restraint.” — PolitiTweet.org
