'We have to stop it a second time': Trump accused of invoking Jan 6. attack in interview

Donald Trump claims he was robbed of a second term back in 2020 and appears to want to go on the offensive to prevent a sequel.

"I had 63 million [votes]," he said in an interview snippet with his former press secretary Sean Spicer on "The Sean Spicer Show." "And I was told if I get 63 million we win easily... But when they rig and cheat, you know, there's not a lot you can do about that other than you have to stop it."

Judge Chutkan may have creative way to get a 'trial' on the books before election: expert

While the nation sweats out a Supreme Court decision as to whether or not Donald Trump is immune from criminal prosecution — U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia Judge Tanya Chutkan could still hold hearings or "mini trials" ahead of the November 5 election.

"It's going to be tough if there's a test to get that trial," said CNN legal expert Norm Eisen during a panel appearance on "The Situation Room."

Judge Cannon's latest hearing has 'echoes' of last time she was reversed on appeal: expert

U.S. District Judge Aileen Cannon is straying dangerously close to the old pro-Trump tactics that got her reprimanded by a higher court, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner told MSNBC's Alicia Menendez on Friday evening.

This comes as Cannon held the first part of a hearing on whether special counsel Jack Smith was illegally appointed to run the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, a motion filed by former President Donald Trump's team that, as far as Kirschner is concerned, any reasonable judge would have thrown out long ago.

Prosecutor puts Supreme Court on notice over Steve Bannon's 'garbage' legal ploy

Longtime Trump ally Steve Bannon is turning to the Supreme Court as his last resort with an appeal to stay out of prison — but there is no reason the justices should pay him the slightest heed, Palm Beach County attorney Dave Aronberg told MSNBC's Joy Reid on Friday evening.

Bannon, who was ordered by a lower court judge to begin serving his four-month sentence for contempt of Congress at the Connecticut federal facility that helped inspire the Netflix series, "Orange Is the New Black," has already tried to appeal to other courts, with no success.

'Not a good look': MAGA lawmaker torched over denial he killed bill on Trump's orders

A bipartisan border security bill earlier this year died after former President Donald Trump demanded the GOP not fix an issue they could try to attack President Joe Biden over during an election cycle. But House Republicans loyal to Trump are continuing to deny that was the reason — one of the loudest denials coming from Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL).

In fact, Donalds said on Newsmax in a discussion on the upcoming presidential debate next week, the House GOP was already opposed to the bill — because the text got leaked to them beforehand on social media.

Ex-prosecutor destroys Clarence Thomas' 'originalism' argument on domestic violence

Justice Clarence Thomas was the single dissent in a case where a domestic abuser demanded access to his gun after it was taken away due to a victim's protection order.

Former federal prosecutor Harry Litman said that the U.S. Supreme Court "painted itself into a corner" in a previous gun case. So, they had to fix it in the United States v. Rahimi ruling.

'Your facts are wrong!' Fox News contributors spar as heated debate devolves into chaos

A pair of Fox News contributors sparred Friday over a favorite talking point for the network: immigration and border security, with the duo trading barbs and repeatedly trying to cut each other off, at times appearing to flummox host Martha MacCallum.

Ex-Fox News host freaks out that 'deep state' that took down Nixon is coming for Trump

Former Fox News host Monica Crowley put former President Donald Trump in rare company when she likened him to two of America's most disgraced historical figures.

During a speech at the Faith and Freedom Coalition Conference, Crowley said that the struggles Trump is facing right now are akin to those faced by former Sen. Joseph McCarthy and former President Richard Nixon, who resigned when it became clear he was about to be impeached in the House of Representatives.

'Exactly what it is!' OAN host puts name on racist theory shared by Lauren Boebert

Colorado firebrand Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert once again echoed a racist far-right conspiracy theory that Democrats are letting droves of migrants into the country to pad their voter rolls and, rather than pushback, a One America News Network host agreed, calling it the "Great Replacement" of American voters.

In an interview that aired Friday morning on "Real America with Dan Ball," Boebert and Ball discussed familiar right-wing talking points ranging from going after the "Biden crime family" to the Nov. 5 general election.
