NEW: Rep. Cory Mills owns a defense company that appears to have been illegally exporting weapons to Ukraine—while Mills sits on the committee with oversight of those sales. This has gone unreported and for a long time unknown in Congress. My latest here:

‘George Santos with a Gun,’ Pt. III: Up In Arms
Cory Mills appears to be the first active arms dealer to serve in Congress. That's probably because companies owned by members of Congress aren't legally allowed to export weapons—but his does.

Congress demanded Jack Smith testify about his investigations, but kept him behind closed doors during his sworn deposition. If we care about transparency, then Congress should release the transcript. My thoughts in Bloomberg.

Release the Jack Smith Deposition Transcript
This week, former special counsel Jack Smith finally had the chance to speak about the findings of his investigation into President Donald Trump. It’s a shame the public couldn't hear him.

"DOJ sources — including officials who’ve actually seen what’s inside the Epstein files — are telling me there’s real concern after today’s so-called “release.” Because documents that should have been turned over today aren’t just heavily redacted — they appear to be missing."

Kavanaugh's statements make the problem worse, not better. If the reason SCOTUS is using cryptic shadow docket orders is because "five" of them can't "reach a consensus or a compromise on a particular issue that might be difficult," then that order should not be precedential —there's no majority.

This is why they’re terrified of a full release.
The truth won’t just expose Epstein.
It will expose the powerful who enabled him.
