#RachelMaddow, #LawrenceODonnell, and #ChrisHayes discuss the newly #unsealed #filing from #JackSmith which lays out the #case against #DonaldTrump over his attempts to #overturn the 2020 #election.

“I've never seen it laid out that way before, even though I knew the individual pieces of it. And it just sent a chill down my spine,” says Maddow.

Elon Musk’s X is apparently getting money from some pretty shady people.

A federal judge ordered Tuesday that a list of investors who helped fund Musk’s $44 billion takeover of X, formerly Twitter, in October 2022 be #unsealed.

Buried among the lengthy list of nearly 100 investors are several particularly troubling figures.

One entity listed is Sean Combs Capital, LLC—better known as #Sean “#Diddy” #Combs, the rapper who has been accused of rape, assault, forcible drugging, and even implicated in a sex trafficking operation.

“I don’t know if you know this, but #Puff is an investor in Twitter,” Musk said, using Combs’s nickname. “You know, he’s a good friend of mine, we text a lot.”

The list also includes several 🔸Silicon Valley entities run by billionaires like Musk himself and backing Donald Trump in the 2024 election.

One of the first names included is 🔸Andreessen Horowitz, a venture capital firm run by #Marc #Andreessen and #Ben #Horowitz, who recently announcedthat they were backing Trump in 2024.

“It doesn’t have anything to do with the big issues that people care about,” Andreessen claimed, making clear that he was ignoring Trump’s platform on immigration and abortion, for a more favorable view on issues like crypto
—in which Andreessen and Horowitz claim to be some of the world’s largest investors.

Also on the list is 🔸Sequoia Capital, run by #Douglas #Leone and #Shaun #Maguire, who donated a whopping $1 million and $500,000 respectively to Musk’s pro-Trump super PAC, the #AmericaPAC, which is currently under investigation for the shady way it was collecting voter information.

Another investor is 🔸8VC, a venture capitalist firm run by #Joe #Lonsdale, who also donated $1 million to Musk’s PAC in June.

Lonsdale is a co-founder of intelligence contractor and data analysis platform 🔸Palantir, which was also headed by Peter Thiel.

While it’s hardly surprising that Musk’s billionaire buddies are invested in his social media company, it’s clear that X is being heavily underwritten by the same individuals funding Trump’s campaign.

Also included on the list of investors is #Saudi #Prince #Al #Waleed #bin #Talal #Al #Saud, who has long had a stake in the social media company.

In 2015, bin Talal owned 5.2 percent of Twitter, more than the company’s co-founder Jack Dorsey

The newly #unsealed docs — an exhaustive record of the #legal fight between #Twitter & the #DOJ over whether to hide the execution of the #warrant from #Trump — added a few new details about what the govt may have been seeking.

For example, the materials showed that prosecutors wanted to learn if there were other accounts that Trump had been logging into from the same IP address he used for his Twitter account…. it was not clear whether… investigators had a specific reason to be asking.

Judge #Chutkan has #unsealed a filing related to potential #WitnessIntimidation by #Trump, alleged by prosecutors. It’s redacted to exclude identiying info, but the govt is seeking some form of #relief.

Chutkan characterizes #JackSmith's motion this way:

"The government seeks to establish that Defendant has publicly criticized his perceived adversaries & is aware that this criticism has led to their harassment."

She reveals that #witnesses testified about #harassment.
