When the pandemic flipped the world upside down two years ago, working women were among the most negatively affected. Today, they're part of a new class of entrepreneurs who are changing the small-business industry with their pursuit of social media and unique quarantine hobbies turned careers.

One in four women considered leaving the workforce or downshifting their careers in the pandemic, compared to one in five men, the management-consulting firm McKinsey reported. Additionally, between February and August, mothers of children 12 years or younger lost 2.2 million jobs compared to 870,000 jobs lost by fathers, the think tank Brookings said. Lastly, women felt more exhausted, burned out, and under pressure than their male colleagues, a 2020 Women in the Workplace study by McKinsey found.

But many of these women turned despair into determination by launching their own businesses. Almost half of the people who launched companies in 2020 were women, up from 27% in previous years, found a survey of about 1,500 entrepreneurs by the human-resources platform Gusto.

"The pandemic shook up what seemed like a safe route for most people," said Meredith Meyer Grelli, an entrepreneurship professor at Carnegie Mellon. "If the thing you thought was certain your job no longer looks safe, the jump that looked like such a big risk doesn't seem so big anymore."

What's more, when we masked up, stood 6 feet apart, and closed our doors to the world, we also opened our phones. Social-media usage increased by 61% during the first wave of the pandemic, found a study by Kantar, a media-trend research platform. Women were among the entrepreneurs to tap that surge, creating businesses with little more than a passion, smartphone, and social-media account. For example, as of August, more than 53% of TikTok creators were women.

Insider found 10 women who launched companies in the pandemic to get their best tips for going viral and growing a business using social media.

Expectation is growing that Donald Trump might face charges for trying to obstruct Congress from certifying Joe Bidens election this year as a House panel collects more evidence into the 6 January attack on the Capitol, former prosecutors and other experts say.

Speculation about possible charges against the former US president has been heightened by a recent rhetorical bombshell from Republican representative and 6 January panel vice-chair Liz Cheney suggesting the House panel is looking at whether Trump broke a law that bars obstruction of official proceedings.

Former prosecutors say if the panel finds new evidence about Trumps role interfering with Congress job to certify Bidens election, that could help buttress a potential case by the Department of Justice.

In varying ways, Cheneys comments have been echoed by two other members of the House select committee, Republican Adam Kinzinger and Democrat Jamie Raskin, spurring talk of how an obstruction statute could apply to Trump, which would entail the panel making a criminal referral of evidence for the justice department to investigate, say DoJ veterans.

Cheneys remarks raising the specter of criminal charges against Trump came twice earlier this month at hearings of the committee. Experts believe the charges could be well founded given Trumps actions on 6 January, including incendiary remarks to a rally before the Capitol attack and failure to act for hours to stop the riot, say former justice department officials.

Based on what is already in the public domain, there is powerful evidence that numerous people, in and out of government, attempted to obstruct and did obstruct, at least for a while an official proceeding i.e., the certification of the Presidential election, said former DOJ inspector general and former prosecutor Michael Bromwich in a statement to the Guardian. That is a crime.

Although a House panel referral of obstruction by Trump would not force DOJ to open a criminal case against him, it could help provide more evidence for one, and build pressure on the justice department to move forward, say former prosecutors.

Attorneygeneral Merrick Garland has declined to say so far whether his department may be investigating Trump and his top allies already for their roles in the Capitol assault.

The panel has amassed significant evidence, including more than 30,000 records and interviews with more than 300 people, among whom were some key White House staff.

The evidence against Trump himself could include his actions at the Stop the Steal rally not far from the White House, where he urged backers to march to the Capitol and fight like hell [or] youre not going to have a country any more. Trump then resisted multiple pleas for hours from Republicans and others to urge his violent supporters to stop the attack.

Recent rulings by Trump-appointed district court judges have supported using the obstruction statute, which federal prosecutors have cited in about 200 cases involving rioters charged by DOJ for their roles in the Capitol assault that injured about 140 police officers and left five dead.

Still, experts note that the House panels mission has been to assemble a comprehensive report of what took place on 6 January and work on legislation to avoid such assaults on democracy. They caution that any criminal referral to DOJ documenting Trumps obstruction of Congress will take time and more evidence to help bolster a DOJ investigation.

Some DOJ veterans say that any referral to DOJ by the House panel for a criminal case against Trump and perhaps top allies such as ex chief of staff Mark Meadows, whom the House last week cited for criminal contempt for refusing to be deposed might also include Trumps aggressive pressuring of federal and state officials before 6 January to block Bidens win with baseless charges of fraud.

Bromwich stressed that the evidence is steadily accumulating that would prove obstruction beyond a reasonable doubt. The ultimate question is who the defendants would be in such an obstruction case. Evidence is growing that, as a matter of law and fact, that could include Trump, Meadows and other members of Trumps inner circle.

Cheney teed up the issue about Trumps potential culpability first at a House panel hearing last week, when she urged that Meadows be held in contempt for refusing to be deposed, and then hit Trump with a rhetorical bombshell.

We know hours passed with no action by the president to defend the Congress of the United States from an assault while we were counting electoral votes, Cheney said.

Did Donald Trump, through action or inaction, corruptly seek to obstruct or impede Congress official proceeding to count electoral votes?

Cheneys comments about Trump were very precise, including language from the criminal obstruction statute, and she stated that her question is a key one for the panels legislative tasks.

Raskin too has told Politico that the issue of whether Trump broke the law by obstructing an official proceeding is clearly one of the things on the mind of some of the members of the committee.

The possibility of obstruction charges is legally valid, said Paul Rosenzweig, a former DOJ prosecutor who worked on Ken Starrs team during the impeachment of former President Bill Clinton, noting that two district judges appointed by Trump have recently said that the statute covers the efforts on January 6 to stop the electoral count.

For instance, Judge Dabney Friedrich in a recent opinion rejected the claim by some defendants who were challenging the DOJ view that the 6 January meeting of Congress fit the legal definition of an official proceeding.

Rosenzweig posited that given Trumps various attempts before 6 January to undermine the election results, a broader conspiracy case may be another option for prosecutors to pursue. Should DOJ look at broader conspiracy charges, Trumps persistent pressures on acting attorney general Jeffrey Rosen and his top deputy for help blocking Bidens victory wouldprobably be relevant, say ex-prosecutors.

On one call on 27 December 2020, Trump pressed Rosen and his deputy to falsely state the election illegal and corrupt despite the fact that the DOJ had not found any evidence of widespread voter fraud.

Paul Pelletier, a former acting chief of the fraud section at DOJ, said that Cheneys statements were carefully crafted and obviously based upon evidence the committee had seen. Should Congress ultimately refer the case to DOJ for investigation and prosecution, the DOJs investigation would not be limited to a single obstruction charge, but would more likely investigate broader conspiracy charges potentially involving Trump and other key loyalists.

The panel has accelerated its pace recently by sending out dozens of subpoenas for documents and depositions, some to close Trump aides. Meadows has become a central focus of the inquiry, in part over tweets he received on and near the insurrection that are among approximately 9,000 documents he gave the panel, much to Trumps chagrin.

As Trumps efforts to thwart the panel from moving forward have had limited success, he has relied on sending out splenetic email attacks, including one last month that read: The Unselect Committee itself is Rigged, stacked with Never Trumpers, Republican enemies, and two disgraced RINOs, Cheney and Kinzinger, who couldnt get elected dog catcher in their districts.

Despite Trumps angry attacks on the panel, some ex-prosecutors say that prosecuting Trump if enough evidence is found to merit charges is important for the health of American democracy.

Former Georgia US attorney Michael J Moore told the Guardian: I hate to think of a legal system that would allow the most powerful person in the country to go unchallenged when he has abdicated his highest priority, that being to keep our citizens safe. Trumps conduct that day was not unlike a mob boss.

Trump could face charges for trying to obstruct certification of election, legal experts say - The Guardian

Donald Trump turned to the supreme court Thursday in a last-ditch effort to keep documents away from the House committee investigating the 6 January insurrection at the Capitol.

A federal appeals court ruled against the former US president two weeks ago, but prohibited documents held by the National Archives from being turned over before the supreme court had a chance to weigh in. Trump appointed three of the nine justices.

Trump is claiming that as a former president he has right to assert executive privilege over the records, arguing that releasing them would damage the presidency in the future.

But Joe Biden determined that the documents were in the public interest and that executive privilege should therefore not be invoked.

The documents include presidential diaries, visitor logs, speech drafts, handwritten notes concerning the events of January 6 from the files of former chief of staff Mark Meadows, and a draft executive order on the topic of election integrity, the Archives has said.

The House committee has said the records are vital to its investigation into the run-up to the deadly riot that was aimed at overturning the results of the 2020 presidential election.

Here are five recent comments from Trump that suggest a third presidential bid is likely.

"The country needs it." (July 1, 2021)

Trump told Fox News host Sean HannitySean Patrick HannityEquilibrium/Sustainability Presented by Southern Company Otters plunder Singapore's pools and paths The Memo: Failure on big bill would spark cascade of trouble for Biden Brad Parscale says Jan. 6 committee issued subpoena for his phone records MORE at a July town hall in Texas that he had made a decision on whether he will run for president again in 2024 though he didnt disclose what the decision was.

The remark came just days after he held his first post-presidential rally in Ohio.

"It's not that I want to," Trump said when pressed by Hannity about the prospect of running again. "The country needs it. We have to take care of this country. I don't want to, is this fun? Fighting constantly? Fighting always? I mean, the country, what we have done is so important."

"I guess a bad call from a doctor or something, right?" (Sept. 25, 2021)

Trump suggested during an interview in September that the only thing that would prevent him from running again would be a problem with his health.

"Well, I don't I guess a bad call from a doctor or something, right?" Trump said on "The Water Cooler" show on Real America's Voice, when asked what would keep him from seeking another White House bid.

Trump, now 75, was previously the oldest president to enter office until Biden earlier this year. If he wins in 2024, Trump would be 82 years old upon his completion of his second term.

"Things happen. Through God, they happen," he told commentator David Brody on the show. "But I feel so good."

If I faced [DeSantis], I'd beat him like I would beat everyone else." (Oct. 4, 2021)

If Trump decides to run again, he could face a crowded primary field and one of his closest-watched potential rivals is Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R).

With speculation swirling over a DeSantis run, Trump sent a possible warning signal to the governor, saying he thinks DeSantis would step aside to give the former president another shot at the White House.

But Trump didnt express concern even if DeSantis were to remain in the race.

If I faced him, I'd beat him like I would beat everyone else, Trump said during an interview with Yahoo Finance Live released on Oct. 4.

Should Trump run, he would likely skate to the 2024 GOP nomination, according to Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll released Monday.

The poll, largely in line with other recent surveys, found that 67 percent of Republican voters would back the former president, with former Vice President Mike Pence coming in second with 9 percent and DeSantis coming in third with 8 percent.

"If you love the country you have no choice." (Dec. 1, 2021)

In a December interview with British broadcaster Nigel Farage, the former politician known for his championing of the Brexit movement, Trump continued to hint at a third bid for the White House. Farage was the first British politician to meet Trump following his election in 2016.

When asked at his Mar-a-Lago resort if he would be willing to give up his more laid-back post-presidency lifestyle, Trump indicated an eagerness to return to Washington.

I love our country, Trump told Farage.

If you love the country you have no choice. It's not a question, this is a wonderful, beautiful life. But I liked that too because I was helping people. That's why I did it. And I think you'll be happy in the future too, he said.

Trump also told Farage that many Republican candidates running in next years midterm elections are asking for his endorsement.

"If I do decide [not to run again], I think my base is going to be very angry." (Dec. 8, 2021)

In an interview with conservative talk show host Hugh Hewitt Wednesday, Trump said hell see what happens right after the midterms."

I think we have a couple of people that are, would be very good, but its, you know, very early. Its very, very early, Trump said.

Even with other potential candidates in the race, Trump expressed concern about not remaining in good graces with his supporters if he chooses to not run in 2024.

If I do decide that, I think my base is going to be very angry, he said.
