JUST IN: Judge Berman agrees that effort by DOJ to unseal Epstein grand jury files is a “diversion” when DOJ could just release a trove of far more comprehensive documents without court involvement. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Welp.
While Trump's lawyers withdrew the lawsuit against J. Ann Selzer and the Des Moines Register from the Southern District of Iowa, they refiled another case in state court immediately after -- in a clear case of judge shopping here.
