 Donald Trump's former personal lawyer Michael Cohen says he met Tuesday for about 2½ hours with Manhattan prosecutors, who are again investigating hush money payments he made to a porn star who said she had an extramarital affair with the former president. Cohen's meeting came just days after District Attorney Alvin Bragg said his office's yearslong Trump investigation was moving to the "next chapter" following last week's sentencing of Trump's company, the Trump Organization, for tax fraud. A message seeking comment was left with the Manhattan district attorney's office.

A coalition of news organizations, including The Associated Press, has filed a court motion in San Francisco seeking to access evidence against the man charged in last year's attack on former U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's husband, Paul Pelosi. During a Dec. 14 preliminary hearing, the San Francisco district attorney's office introduced audio and video evidence against David Depape, the man accused of attacking Paul Pelosi. But the office has refused to release the evidence to the media. Attorneys for the coalition said in the motion filed Wednesday that "the public and press have standing to assert their rights of access to court records and proceedings."
The top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee has requested that U.S. intelligence conduct a "damage assessment" of potentially classified documents found in the Washington office space of President Joe Biden's former institute, Rep. Mike Turner sent the request Tuesday to Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines, saying that Biden's retention of the documents puts him in "potential violation of laws protecting national security, including the Espionage Act and Presidential Records Act." It comes a day after the White House confirmed that the Department of Justice was reviewing "a small number of documents with classified markings" that were discovered as Biden's personal attorneys were clearing out the offices of the Penn Biden Center.

Homeless people are asking a federal judge for an emergency order to stop San Francisco from dismantling tent encampments without offering shelter beds. They are also asking the court at a hearing Thursday to stop the city from destroying the belongings of homeless people. Attorneys for San Francisco say the city has strict policies that balance the rights of homeless people with the need for clean public spaces. The lawsuit filed in September is the latest in a yearslong battle between politically liberal San Francisco and the thousands of people who live outdoors. Similar legal battles are taking place in other western states.
