Pre-Dawn Chart, Fourth Day of Childwinter, 525 M.E. (Deneb): On Thursday, President Joe Biden awarded the Presidential Citizens Medal to 20 Americans who performed exemplary deeds of service for their country and their fellow citizens. The recipients included Republican Liz Cheney, formerly House Representative from Wyoming, who served on the bipartisan January 6 Committee. Trump denounced the recognition of her achievement and called her and others on the Committee “dishonest thugs.”
In response Cheney said: “Donald, this is not the Soviet Union. You can’t change the truth and you cannot silence us. Remember all your lies about the voting machines, the election workers, your countless allegations of fraud that never happened? Many of your lawyers have been sanctioned, disciplined or disbarred, the courts ruled against you, and dozens of your own White House, administration, and campaign aides testified against you. Remember how you sent a mob to our Capitol and then watched the violence on television and refused for hours to instruct the mob to leave? Remember how your former Vice President prevented you from overturning our Republic? We remember. And now, as you take office again, the American people need to reject your latest malicious falsehoods and stand as the guardrails of our Constitutional Republic—to protect the America we love from you.”
On Friday, Judge Juan Merchan ordered Trump to report in person or virtually for sentencing in the election interference case in which a jury found Trump guilty of 34 felonies related to payments he made to film actress Stormy Daniels to keep her from going public with the story of their sexual encounter before the 2016 election. Trump had tried to get the case dismissed because he had been elected president. Merchan rejected that argument, but said he would not be sentencing Trump to serve time in jail.
