Exclusive: Last week, I asked the @SettelmeyerNV campaign about decades-old domestic violence charges that have drawn buzz online.
Documents showed he had been found not guilty, but there's more to the story.
Here's what I learned:

I went long on a new form of Trump DOJ turmoil: Top Las Vegas prosecutor Sigal Chattah repeatedly bypassed Main Justice recusal orders, pushed cases for ex-clients & friends, targeted political foe & much more.

Scooplet: @SenJackyRosen is leading a letter today demanding Rubio and Mullin withdraw a proposed rule requiring international travelers to disclose up to 5 years of social media history before visiting the U.S.
@SenCortezMasto and several other Dem senators have signed on:
Another big endorsement for @DavidFlippoNV: The Club for Growth.
A press release today announces Club for Growth Action will spend $400k on an ad highlighting Trump's endorsement of Flippo. AdImpact already shows more than $200k reserved today.

A super PAC has recently spent $313k supporting @SettelmeyerNV and opposing @DavidFlippoNV in #NV02.
As the Flippo camp noted, the group has ties to Ken Griffin. It's also connected to another GOP megadonor and a known Nevada name:

There are no public polls of the #NV02 Democratic primary.
But @gregkidd told me his polling, which his team declined to share, shows him "basically tied" with @TBT_NV for the lead.

👀 Tommy White, Secretary Treasurer of Laborers local 872, said the union has pulled the endorsement of Sen. Jacky Rosen for endorsing state Sen. Edgar Flores.
“And we will pull endorsements from any other politician that gets in the middle of this race,” he added. #NVPol
U.S. Senator Jacky Rosen endorsed State Senator Edgar Flores in his reelection campaign for SD2 this morning.
The primary race between Flores and North Las Vegas City Councilman Isaac Barron is expected to be one of the most competitive this cycle.
NEW and exclusive: @StevenHorsford is endorsing Teresa Benitez-Thompson (@TBT_NV) in #NV02.
He's the second Nevada member of Congress to weigh in on the crowded Democratic primary—Susie Lee endorsed Greg Kidd right before TBT jumped in.
Here's Horsford's statement:
Congressional Democrats recently launched an inquiry into whether recipients of Trump's pardons were part of "pay-to-play dynamics."
In response, Nevada Judge Michele Fiore denied "any improper conduct in connection with my pardon" and called the inquiry a "fishing expedition."
Speaking today about her bipartisan bill to combat antisemitism, @SenJackyRosen talked about how the issue has affected her personally.
She mentioned that a man who called her Senate office threatening to “finish what Hitler started" is now behind bars.

A win for Nevada members of Congress: President Trump has signed the Sloan Canyon Conservation and Lateral Pipeline Act, led by @repdinatitus and @SenCortezMasto, into law.
It will allow construction of new water pipeline and expand the Sloan Canyon National Conservation area.

Reno officials have hit pause on data center approvals, the biggest step a Nevada government has taken in response to growing public opposition.
But there’s disagreement and angst about what will happen next.
