25+ min ago (485+ words) The Justice Department on Tuesday challenged a court order that complicated efforts to seek a new indictment against former FBI Director James Comey by making a trove of evidence off-limits to prosecutors. An order issued over the weekend by a federal judge in Washington barred the Justice Department at least temporarily from accessing computer files belonging to Daniel Richman, a close Comey friend and Columbia University law professor who prosecutors see as a central player in any potential case against the former FBI director. Prosecutors moved Tuesday to quash that order, calling Richman's request for the return of his files a "strategic tool to obstruct the investigation and potential prosecution." They said the judge had overstepped her bounds by ordering Richman's property returned to him and said the ruling had impeded their ability to proceed with a case against Comey....

" The'legal battle between NASCAR and two race teams'has shifted from the witness stand to jury instructions, as both sides fight over how jurors will interpret antitrust law in a case that could redefine the business model of stock car racing. Three filings submitted in federal court this week reveal deep divisions over what jurors should be told before deliberations begin.

In its Monday filing, NASCAR urged the court to add three supplemental instructions to the jury charge. The proposed language would emphasize that antitrust law "is not a negotiating tool for a party seeking better contract terms," and that businesses are generally free to choose their…...

"And what that means is the system that we have in place is not functioning properly." CATS maintains an exclusion policy that outlines when and how individuals can be banned from buses, trains and transit property. The policy, revised…...
