A federal judge temporarily halted subpoenas issued by congressional Democrats for President Trump's financial records following intervention from an appeals court in Washington, D.C.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit sent an emoluments lawsuit against the president, which alleges that he is illegally benefiting from his businesses while serving in the Oval Office, back to a lower court on Friday to reexamine whether the separation of powers between the president and Congress had been properly considered.

According to the judges, "the District Court did not adequately address whether — given the separation of powers issues present in a lawsuit brought by members of the legislative branch against the president of the United States — resolving the legal questions and/or postponing discovery would be preferable, or whether discovery is even necessary" to establish whether congressional Democrats can intervene.

The court's decision could serve as a setback for Democratic lawmakers should Trump not be forced to prove he hasn't violated the Constitution's anti-corruption clauses, which limit a federal official's ability to accept gifts from foreign governments without Congress's approval.

The move comes as the appeals court also rejected a request by the Justice Department to dismiss the lawsuit. Rather, the court ruled Judge Emmet Sullivan wrongly failed to allow the Trump administration to appeal the case.

The judge then put the subpoenas on hold.

Sullivan will now reconsider the president's request for a mainstream appeal. If he approves, the case would then go back to the D.C. Circuit Court.

there was a big boom! it was the big boom of the deepstate expending another FF thinking Q was going to drop something.

Notice that the hysterical news coverage stopped around 5pm after Q didn't drop anything. They always fall for this every time.

Yes but as Q says: "Bait expends ammunition."

I'm sure for the Q team, to have the DS expend this FF is a win for us. It is one less they have in their arsenal to control the news cycle.

==Panic ensues after active shooter drill in Chicago goes ‘terribly wrong’=

An active shooter drill in Chicago went "terribly wrong," according to WBBM-TV — and panic immediately ensued.

What are the details?

The melee took place on Thursday afternoon after reports of an active shooter emerged. Police arrived on the scene following the reports, but determined the incident was simply a drill after just a few minutes.

The active shooter situation, however, was actually a drill inside an AT&T building that went "terribly wrong."

Michael Pigott, 1st District Commander with the Chicago Police Department, said it was all a miscommunication.

"At this point, it appears to have been an active shooter drill that went terribly wrong," Pigott said. "A proper notification was not made to all people in the building. Apparently, a text message went out. They were testing their system and people took that literally — as they should."

Pigott revealed that people inside the building — who were unaware that the incident was simply a drill — began phoning 911 for emergency help.

"There's a safe way to do these types of drills," he warned. "We'll work with the building management to make sure they're working on best practices."

According to the Chicago Tribune, Pigott said that officers checked the building thoroughly following the alert.

"There was a 10- to 12-minute window in which we thought it was a bona fide shooting," he explained. "Officers went floor by floor securing the building and checking on workers, some of whom had barricaded themselves in conference rooms or locked themselves in bathrooms."

In an interesting twist, the building is owned by a company controlled by Trump adviser — and son-in-law — Jared Kushner.

In a statement, Kushner Companies said it had no knowledge of the incident.

"Kushner Companies has no knowledge of this incident as AT&T operates the building as the sole tenant on the lease," the company said.

Lauren Victory, a reporter for the station, shared video footage of the aftermath on Twitter.

She captioned the video, "#BREAKING: NO ACTIVE SHOOTER. Mass panic and police response downtown at the 225 W Randolph building after someone on 7th flower reports "active shooter." @Chicago_Police confirms that report is UNFOUNDED. Hearing on scanner this may have been a drill gone wrong. @cbschicago."

A spokesperson for AT&T told WBBM that it was a false alarm.

"A training class this afternoon caused a false alarm in the building. This was an instructional training video – not a drill or formal exercise," the statement explained. "We're grateful to the Chicago Police, Fire and Emergency Management teams for their swift response and we are investigating the incident."

What else?

This isn't the first time something of this sort has occurred.

According to WLS-TV, a similar incident took place in 2017 at Waubonsee Community College in Sugar Grove, Illinois. The miscommunication resulted in a large scale police response.

A similar incident also took place in 2018 at Wright Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio, when a training exercise went awry.

Just a few months later, there was another scare at Walter Reed Medical Center in Bethesda, Maryland, when military police tweeted that there was an active shooter in the vicinity of the facility. It was later discovered to be a drill.
