2024 Elections

A witness who appeared Tuesday in former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial just pulled back the curtain on a world that, according to legal analyst Lisa Rubin, can only be described with a single word: Sketchy.

MSNBC host Chris Hayes and Rubin smiled as they discussed the salacious details shared by Keith Davidson, an attorney who said he bartered catch-and-kill deals with National Enquirer for clients Stormy Daniels and Karen McDougal, despite hesitations from the tabloid.

Former President Donald Trump is lashing out at the lawyers over his less-than-innocent optic in his Manhattan hush money criminal trial, "The Art of the Deal" writer Tony Schwartz argued Tuesday.

Schwartz appeared on MSNBC to discuss with anchor Joy Reid Trump's reported habit of throwing his lawyers under the bus — and what it might mean for the first of four criminal court cases he faces.

A potentially fatal campaign problem looms in former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial, his former press secretary argued Tuesday.

Sarah Matthews raised concerns on CNN's "The Situation Room" about Trump's 2024 bid to reclaim the White House and the effect his trial will have on undecided women voters.

Former President Donald Trump's newly revealed policy plans is ringing alarm bells for at least one conservative operative who warned Americans Tuesday they should "be afraid."

Republican strategist Sarah Longwell appeared on CNN Tuesday afternoon to discuss Time Magazine's sweeping exposé on Trump called "If He Wins."

Alina Habba, Donald Trump's attorney, expressed frustration Tuesday after New York Justice Juan Merchan fined her client $9,000 for violating a limited gag order.

During an interview on Fox News, Habba was asked if Trump would obey the gag order now that a judge has found him in contempt of court and threatened him with jail. Merchan previously ruled that Trump could not talk about potential witnesses, jurors, court staff, or their families.

If fundraising or other means of getting cash falters, Donald Trump is close to running out of funds to pay his legal bills as his New York hush money criminal trial continues, according to a new report.

Trump is racking up significant legal bills as the trial, where he's accused of falsifying business records to cover up a hush money payment to adult movie star Stormy Daniels, enters into its second week. He's also facing three other indictments that could result in trials beginning this year.

Former President Donald Trump again smeared pro-Palestinian protesters on college campuses by comparing them to a 2017 white supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.

Trump spoke to reporters Tuesday before stepping into court for his Manhattan hush-money trial.

Former Attorney General Bill Barr's "about-face" from one of Donald Trump's most vocal critics to political endorser spurred outrage from one of his former colleagues Monday.

Alyssa Farah Griffin, the former president's communications director, shredded the Republican's stated reasons for backing Trumps' presidential reelection bid during an interview with Kaitlan Collins, the CNN host who quizzed Barr about his endorsement during on-air sit-down interview Friday.

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace made a startling prediction on Monday: should former President Donald Trump be voted back into the Oval Office, she and other journalists could find themselves forced out of their jobs.

Wallace's name quickly became a trend on the social media platform X as Americans on both sides of the aisle digested this disturbing take.

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem (R) could potentially kiss her chances of becoming Donald Trump's running mate goodbye, after the Guardian reported the right-wing leader's new book reveals that she once killed her own dog, a new report shows.

"Cricket was a wirehair pointer, about 14 months old," Noem wrote, according to the Guardian, "adding that the dog, a female, had an 'aggressive personality' and needed to be trained to be used for hunting pheasant."

Former President Donald Trump proudly announced on his Truth Social platform on Monday that his former Republican rival Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is fully on board with his re-election.

"I am very happy to have the full and enthusiastic support of Governor Ron DeSantis of Florida," wrote Trump. "We had a great meeting yesterday, arranged by mutual friend Steve Witkoff, at his beautiful Shell Bay Club in Hollywood, Florida. The conversation mostly concerned how we would work closely together to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN. Also discussed was the future of Florida, which is FANTASTIC!"

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) tussled with MSNBC's Katy Tur in a live interview Monday during which the two women debated the record of former President Donald Trump.

The testy exchange began with Pelosi talking up incumbent President Joe Biden's record in comparison with his predecessor and the presumed Republican nominee in the upcoming presidential election.
