  Carlos De Oliveira, the Mar-a-Lago property manager and newest co-defendant in the special counsel's criminal case charging former President Trump and his staff with mishandling classified information, made his initial appearance in a Miami courtroom on Monday. De Oliveira was indicted by a grand jury Thursday on four charges, including conspiracy to obstruct justice and making false statements to the FBI. On Monday, he was informed of his rights as a criminal defendant but did not enter a formal plea during the roughly 10-minute hearing. He will be arraigned on August 10 in Ft. Pierce, Florida. He was released on a $100,000 bond pending trial.  CNN BREAKING NEWS You are receiving this newsletter because you've signed up to receive CNN Breaking News alerts.

Rand Paul reportedly to vote against Trump declaring national emergency at border
Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and other Republican lawmakers are breaking rank with their own party and supporting a resolution to overturn President Trump's national emergency declaration over border wall funding.
"I can't vote to give the president the power to spend money that hasn't been appropriated by Congress," Paul said, according to the Bowling Green Daily News. "We may want more money for border security, but Congress didn't authorize it. If we take away those checks and balances, it's a dangerous thing."
BENEDICT ARNOLD!!!
Of course, this is all political and it’s ultimately meaningless because Trump will veto it, and the opponents of his national emergency don’t have enough votes to overcome it. Still, it will hurt him politically a little bit. Not much really. On the other hand, he really needs to expand his support beyond his base, or we’re gonna see a replay of the midterms… also, #MAGA!!!
