Donald Trump has said that he intends to appeal the ruling in the E. Jean Carroll verdict and judgment in the libel and defamation case he lost last year -- but a single court filing seems to be holding everything up.

MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin sorted through the filings online and found that Trump hasn't put up a bond pending his appeal. There's a reason for that: the court judgment hasn't even been filed.

Former President Donald Trump’s legal team wants to try a presidential immunity claim slapped down in one case as a defense in another, according to a new report and court records.

Trump’s attorneys Tuesday gave notice to Judge Aileen Cannon — the Florida federal judge overseeing his classified documents case — that they plan to file presidential immunity arguments, CNN was first to report.

Judge Arthur Engoron — who is overseeing proceedings in former President Donald Trump's civil fraud trial in New York — may be considering a harsher-than-expected penalty for Trump as he prepares to issue a final ruling in the bench trial.

The Daily Beast recently reported that Engoron was alarmed by a New York Times article from earlier this month about Allen Weisselberg, who was the former chief financial officer for the Trump Organization, planning to plead guilty to perjury for allegedly lying on the stand.

Former Justice Department official Jeff Clark, appointed by Donald Trump, cannot delay the District of Columbia Bar from pursuing disciplinary proceedings against him.

In June, Clark asked a federal appeals court to find that the D.C. Bar lacked the authority to sanction him for making false statements in his effort to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Donald Trump’s courtroom dramatics aren’t going to fly in a criminal courtroom in Washington D.C. after his presidential immunity defense was overwhelmingly shot down down by the district’s appellate court, a CNN legal analyst said Tuesday.

Former federal prosecutor Elie Honig issued his warning to the former president on the heels of breaking news that the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously voted to slap down his primary defense in his criminal case linked to the U.S. Capitol riots on Jan. 6, 2021.

House Republicans are poised to impeach Homeland Security secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over border security, but a congressional reporter said the move was clearly a "political stunt" to distract from their own legislative inaction.

GOP lawmakers say Mayorkas has “refused to comply” with immigration laws that resulted in a flood of migrants across the U.S.-Mexico border, and Washington Post reporter Jackie Alemany told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that they appear to have the votes to make him the first sitting Cabinet secretary to be impeached.
