An indictment news update & goodbye
Hey there,
It's been a while! And all that time there's been little trickles of Trump indictment news, mostly around his trials being delayed, delayed some more, and delayed again.
But! One trial is actually moving forward: the "hush money" indictment in New York. In fact, the trial starts tomorrow, Monday the 15th of April.
And so you might think that this list will be revving back up again to offer gavel-to-gavel sighs and stares but I'm tapping out of the indictment game.
The reality is I'm just one dude and tracking four different indictments and all their ins-and-outs is just too much, especially when it is famously being done for free (or, you know, for tips). That's especially true this year as I've taken on some additional work and so the scant free time that I had to devote to this project has been completely obliterated.
If you're looking for a good way of tracking the trial (which won't be hard, everyone will be covering it) and whatever happens with the rest of Trump's pending court dates, I endorse the very good Trump Trials newsletter from the Washington Post. It's like this only done by people who actually know what they're talking about. Yes, it's less fun, but so is everything right now.
Meanwhile, if you'd like to keep up with what I'm doing, subscribe to my personal newsletter, which I try to update monthly-ish. I'm also on various social platforms, mainly Threads, Mastodon, and Instagram though not as much as back in the day on (now awful) Twitter. I'll certainly be talking about the trial with my cohost Maureen Johnson on our long-running pocast Says Who, so listen along there. And finally I'll give a plug to the very huge very ambitious fiction project I've been doing with novelist Joe Meno for the last year, Question Mark, Ohio, which has a newsletter of its own. We're entering the climatic last month of the story, jump in.
For those of you that followed the impeachments with me, you know what happens next: nothing. I respect your inbox and won't use this list for anything else. If for some reason my time opens up, Trump gets indicted another four times, or I'm compelled to jump into the indictment game again for reasons of insanity/incompetence, then yes you'll hear from me here. Otherwise, follow along elsewhere because indictment.fyi is out of your box.
Thank you so much for joining this list, your trust in me really does mean a lot and the tips you sent helped cover costs and buy a meal or two. I'm sure we'll cross paths again soon, especially considering waves hands in all directions.
Until then, I'm glad you've been here,
Dan
