You’re going to get those $5,000 checks from Trump as soon as Eric Schmitt finds proof that Jack Smith was at the Atlanta Hawks game.

Social Security is a promise — and I’m going to make sure we keep it. That means no cuts to benefits, and making sure everyone pays their fair share. Great conversation today with the Rotary Club of Nashua West. Thank you for the good and tough questions — keep them coming.

The "Broadview Six" are in with an "ICYMI" for Judge April Perry, making sure she's aware of ex-AUSA Sheri Mecklenburg's "widely published" retirement letter:
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS EASTERN DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, ) Plaintiff, )
v. ) ) MICHAEL RABBITT, ) KATHERINEMARIEABUGHAZALEH, ) ANDRE MARTIN, BRIAN STRAW, ) and CATHERINE SHARP )
Defendants. )
No. 25 CR 693
Judge April M. Perry
DEFENDANTS’ NOTICE OF SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION
Defendants, by and through their respective counsel, respectfully seek to supplement the record with the attached resignation letter from the proposed intervenor, Sheri Mecklenburg, which has been widely published in the local and national news media (attached as Exhibit A).
Included in Ms. Mecklenburg’s resignation letter are additional facts that directly and materially implicate issues in the pending motions before the Court (Dkt. 225, 226, and 227). Specifically, the following factual disclosures made by Ms. Mecklenburg in her letter are of particular note:
• The Front Office threatened to discipline and/or terminate Ms. Mecklenburg, thereby resulting in a loss of healthcare benefits, if she attempted to file anything with the Court to provide her recollection of events. (Ex. A, AUSA Mecklenburg’s ForcedResignation Letter, at 1; id. at 2 (“you [U.S. Attorney Boutros] have threatened to terminate me if I attempt to rebut the false allegations and bring additional matters to the Court’s attention.”).
• Ms. Mecklenburg “repeatedly sought guidance from, kept informed, and followed the directions of the Front Office — including [U.S. Attorney Boutros] — at every consequential stage” of this failed prosecution. Id. at 2.
• U.S. Attorney Boutros “personally directed” a felony prosecution of the Defendants be pursued over Ms. Mecklenburg’s objection. Id.
• In May 2026, U.S. Attorney Boutros “placed [Ms. Mecklenburg] on leave and cut off [her] devices and credentials without any notice.” Id.
• Ms. Mecklenburg expresses her severe disappointment in the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s handling of the post-dismissal briefing to the Court because she expected that “the leaders who directed or approved the prosecution would accept responsibility for their own roles and decisions rather than assigning the consequences to me alone.” Id. at 3.
In response to Ms. Mecklenburg’s resignation letter which was published in the media, the Department of Justice in Washington D.C. (not the local U.S.Attorney’s Office) disputed one of Ms. Mecklenburg’s factual assertions about the involvement of U.S. Attorney Boutros (and perhaps other higher-ups in the DOJ) in the prosecutorial decisions and conduct here as flat-out “false,” based on what it claims is contained in Ms. Mecklenburg’s written recommendation on this case:
The claim that AUSA Mecklenburg proposed a misdemeanor and was told instead to file a felony charge is false. Mecklenburg’s recommendation in writing to the supervisory chain of the U.S. Attorney’s Office included the section 372 felony as the strongest charge.
Jason Meisner, ‘Broadview Six’ prosecutor pens fiery resignation letter saying US attorney pushed for felony charges, CHI. TRIBUNE, Sept. 25, 2026, available at: https://www.chicagotribune.com/2026/09/25/broadview-six-prosecutor-resignation- letter-us-attorney/ (last visited Sept. 29, 2026).
The Defendants will be prepared to further discuss the materiality of the information contained in Ms. Mecklenburg’s “Forced Resignation letter,” which reinforces Defendants’ position that there are ripe factual disputes concerning positions taken by the U.S. Attorney’s Office before the Court at Thursday’s hearing or as directed by the Court in writing.
Respectfully submitted,
