We asked a variety of questions about whether she still believes the election was stolen and what she was divulging about her texts with Mark Meadows & John Eastman. She just smiled & kept quiet.

"It's almost so sensitive that you're going to take a national security risk, no matter who you pick," Rozenshtein said—calling it an argument for "just picking someone respected because there's almost no amount of vetting that is going to make this fundamentally appropriate."

I just spoke to Shannon Brewer, the director of Mississippi’s only abortion clinic. She told me is prepared to open an abortion facility in New Mexico & to provide resources for women to travel to other states. She said she has “no hope” that Congress will codify Roe v Wade.

I’m in Mississippi outside the Jackson Women’s Health Organization, the abortion clinic at the center of the SCOTUS case. While conservatives are celebrating the possible end of Roe v. Wade, some women here tell me they feel “gutted,” “devastated,” and “like someone has died.”

Willis could then seek an indictment from one of the regular grand juries here in Fulton County. She has said she hopes to make a decision by the end of the year on whether to bring charges against anyone.

This special grand jury will be solely focused on the Trump investigation. It has wide investigative powers but it doesn’t issue indictments. It will make a recommendation to DA Fani Willis on whether anyone should face charges twitter.com/SaraMurray/sta…
