Why Trump’s courts power grab is more than just a political win AOC on supreme court battle: ‘This is not the time to give up’ US Covid death total stands at 199,844 according to Johns Hopkins University Sign up for our First Thing newsletter 11.29am BST The focus this week is very much on the supreme court seat vacated by the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, but as Tom McCarthy writes for us, Donald Trump’s success at appointing more than 200 conservative judges already in his first term amounts to a towering legacy. “I’m going to be up to 280 judges very soon,” Trump bragged to the journalist Bob Woodward in remarks that Woodward captured on tape and released Sunday. “Nobody’s ever had that. Two hundred and eighty. You know? Nobody’s ever had that.” Trump’s number was characteristically inflated: the number of judges he has placed on district- and circuit-court benches and the supreme court totals 214 (out of 865 total); a Ginsburg replacement would make 215.

It is a two-part series from Alex Gibney attempts to definitively explain Russian interference, from troll factories to hacking to a mutual ‘seduction’ of greed. Agents of Chaos, a two-part investigative HBO series on Russian interference in the 2016 election, confirms some of the most damning findings of the Senate report – for one, extensive contacts between the Trump campaign, particularly former manager Paul Manafort, and “a cadre of individuals ostensibly operating outside of the Russian government but who nonetheless implement Kremlin-directed influence operations.” But the series, from Oscar-winning film-maker Alex Gibney, also visualizes, with first-person interviews from some of the major figures, what the rare bipartisan consensus (on facts, not narrative) cannot: the diffuse, dubiously quantifiable efforts by the Russian government – sometimes tightly organized, sometimes slapdash – to sow chaos in Ukraine and then America, the profit motives which compelled bumbling Trump figures into a “collusion” of mutual interest, and the head-spinning vertigo for average American consumers over what even happened four years ago.

They describe it as “an explosive tell-all that offers the most detailed account yet of what happened behind the scenes during Mueller’s two-year investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 election”. A former prosecutor on special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s team writes in a new book that the group failed to fully investigate President Trump’s financial ties and should have stated explicitly that they believed he obstructed justice, claiming that their efforts were limited by the ever-present threat of Trump disbanding their office and by their own reluctance to be aggressive. He lays particular blame on Mueller’s top deputy, Aaron Zebley, for stopping investigators from taking a broad look at Trump’s finances and writes that he now wonders whether investigators had “given it our all,” knowing they left many important questions unanswered. 11.10am BST Reuters report that a woman arrested on suspicion of sending a ricin-filled envelope to the White House and to five other addresses in Texas will appear before a federal court in Buffalo, New York, later today. She was arrested on the Canada-US border on Sunday and is due to make her initial appearance at 4pm ET. She has yet not been officially identified. Canadian police on Monday searched an apartment in a Montreal suburb linked to the woman. She has joint Canadian and French citizenship, two sources told Reuters. 11.05am BST Here’s a reminder of how yesterday Republican Senate majority leader Mitch McConnell clashed with Democratic minority leader Chuck Schumer over the controversial timing of nominating and confirming a replacement for the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg. 11.01am BST Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of US politics for Tuesday. Here’s where we are, and what we might expect next. Continue reading…
