Judge Juan M. Merchan wrote that Trump “appears to take the position that his situation and this case are unique and that the pre-trial publicity will never subside. However, this view does not align with reality.”

Shelby councilman Nathan Martin subpoenaed in Jan. 6 probe

SHELBY -- A Shelby City councilman has been subpoenaed by the House of Representatives committee investigating the attack on the U.S. Capitol earlier this year.
Nathan Martin has been subpoenaed to appear for a deposition on Oct. 28, according to the written subpoena released Thursday by the The House Select Committee to Investigate the January 6th Attack on the United States Capitol.
Martin was subpoenaed due to his alleged affiliation with “Stop the Steal,” a right-wing group connected to at least two rallies that took place on or near the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6.
According to documents provided to the Select Committee, an organization named “One Nation Under God” submitted a permit application on Dec. 21, 2020 to the U.S. Capitol Police for a rally concerning “the election fraud in the swing states.” The rally was to be held on the U.S. Capitol Grounds on Jan. 6, 2021.
Martin’s phone number and email address were listed among the organization’s contact information. The mailing address listed belongs to right-wing activist Ali Abdul Akbar (also known as Ali Alexander), the leader of Stop the Steal (STS).
He said that he went to the Capitol grounds on the afternoon of Jan. 6, but never entered the building.
"I, and many others are concerned about the integrity of our elections ... about voter fraud ... about election reform,” Martin said. “All of us should want to know our vote counts and is not washed away by fraud.”
Notes from a Capitol police official obtained by BuzzFeed News show that U.S. Capitol Police (USCP) noted the connection prior to Jan. 6.
“One Nation Under God is not an organization and does not maintain social media accounts or webpages per the spokesperson,” the officer wrote in an intelligence assessment.
“It appears that the Stop the Steal and the One Nation Under God is one in the same due to the similarities and affiliation with Ali Alexander.”
According to Martin’s subpoena, a USCP official spoke to Martin by telephone around Dec. 28, 2020. Martin “claimed not to have any information about the rally” and directed the official to speak with a vendor whose information was also listed on the permit application.
According to the notes from a Capitol police officer, the vendor was “shocked” to learn this because he was in “daily communication” with Martin about the event. He identified both Alexander and Martin as affiliated with STS.
The vendor also told the officer that while Martin didn’t appear to have an official title with STS, he dealt with daily operations including hotel bookings and car rentals.
In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Martin acknowledged his affiliation with the two groups, but said he had not seen the permit and could not explain why his information was on it.
