A retired judge cast aspersion on District Judge Aileen Cannon for stalling the trial of Donald Trump in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case.

Cannon paused the trial indefinitely on May 7, less than two weeks before its previously scheduled start date, because she had too many outstanding motions and classified issues to resolve, and retired New York Supreme Court Judge Diane Kiesel told CNN that she didn't understand why the Florida-based federal judge would entertain Trump's challenge of special counsel Jack Smith's appointment.

Fox News' Laura Ingraham has an urgent message for former President Donald Trump about how to survive the presidential debate next week: Stop obsessing over your 34-count felony conviction in New York.

Trump, who has already been trying to control expectations of his performance ahead of the CNN-moderated debate in Atlanta, has a history of long-winded explanations of his innocence and attacks on judges and prosecutors whenever his legal troubles come up. But, the right-wing talk show host warned him, that is only going to lose you the debate — as are any number of other Trump controversies.

The first presidential debate is less than a week away, and MSNBC's Claire McCaskill urged President Joe Biden to come out swinging.

Donald Trump and his Republican allies have set expectations low for the president by constantly suggesting that Biden suffers from age-related mental problems, and the "Morning Joe" contributor said the presumptive Republican presidential nominee seems to realize that may pose a problem for him in the post-debate analysis.

On Friday morning, the entire panel on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" expressed dismay at an anecdote in an upcoming book from Puerto Rico's former governor that Donald Trump glibly talked about using nukes during a conversation in 2017.

In Ricardo Rosselló's book The Reformer’s Dilemma, the former governor described "surveying damage done to the island after Hurricane Maria with the former president when Trump commented, 'But I tell you what … If nuclear war happens, we won’t be second in line pressing the button.'"

A huge brush fire has backed up cars for miles on a major New Jersey highway and left trains into and out of New York City standing still as billowing smoke could be seen for miles, NBC New York reported Thursday.

The northeast is suffering a heatwave that has brought higher-than-normal temperatures.

Legal experts were left shocked Thursday after a New York Times report revealed that Judge Aileen Cannon, who is presiding over Donald Trump's classified documents case, was told by other judges that she should pass the case off to a more experienced jurist.

Among those advising Cannon was the chief judge of Cannon's court. Cannon declined.

CNN host Boris Sanchez kept his cool Thursday while asking a Louisiana state representative not to make his interview with her about a new 10 Commandments law personal.

Sanchez began the interview by explaining that State Representative Lauren Ventrella (R) had agreed to discuss the bill she co-authored, which would require schools to display the Ten Commandments. It was signed into law Thursday.

A young girl who was present at a controversial bill signing by Gov. Jeff Landry (R-LA) appeared to faint on camera behind him — and video shows him paying no notice to the potential medical crisis going on behind him.

The video, flagged and posted to X by Georgia State law professor Anthony Michael Kreis, showed people rushing to the girl's assistance just over the governor's shoulder — at the same time as he was taking in applause from supporters and touting the legislation.

A former contestant on "The Apprentice" encouraged President Biden to look for opportunities to get under Donald Trump's skin and throw him off during the debate.

Speaking to MSNBC, Tara Dowdell, a season three contestant, said that Biden is likely preparing to debate Trump on the terms that he denies basic facts.
