'I'm not done!' Lara Trump shouts down CNN host pressing her on Manhattan jury verdict

During an interview on CNN's "State of the Union," RNC co-chair Lara Trump raised her voice and yelled over guest host Kasie Hunt when she was asked about the Manhattan jury unanimously finding Donald Trump guilty on 34 felony counts.

The interview with the convicted felon Trump's daughter-in-law started calmly enough until Hunt contradicted her by pointing it was a jury that convicted the former president and not President Joe Biden or Judge Juan Merchan.

That set off Lara Trump who went into a furious rant while at the same time refusing to answer the host's questions or even acknowledge them.

Midway through Lara Trump's breathless rant, host Hunt managed to fit in, "I asked you about the jury," which led the RNC co-chair to snap "I'm not done!"

Moments later, Hunt interrupted once more, asking, "Again, I asked you about the jury; the normal Americans who are part of this. Do you think it's not possible for anyone to get a fair trial by a jury?"

"I think that this judge should have never been presiding over this case. He weighed the entire case in the eyes of the jury, and then he gave the jury instructions that were incredibly leading," Trump parried. "And you can't blame the jury they were doing what he told them to do. So from the beginning, this case, whether you're talking about the judge, the venue, the instructions given, or the fact that a key witness that would have exonerated Donald Trump and shown what a waste of time this entire case ultimately was, the judge wouldn't allow in."

Trump accused of encouraging 'domestic terrorism' during early morning Fox interview

The entire panel on MSNBC's "The Weekend" reacted with dismay and disgust after watching a clip of Donald Trump seemingly approving of violence if Judge Juan Merchan sends him to jail as the result of his conviction on 34 felony counts.

In a taped interview with the hosts of Fox & Friends run early Sunday morning, the former president was asked what the impact of his jailing would have throughout the country and he blithely replied, ""I don't know that the public would stand it, you know, I don't. I think I think it would be tough for the public to take, you know at a certain point, there's a breaking point."

That led noted historian Michael Beschloss to bluntly say the embattled former president is encouraging violence among his rabid followers.

"He goes on to say at a certain point there is a breaking point," co-host Symone Sanders-Townsend prompted. "We have never seen something like this before in the United States from a former U.S. president. Even Richard Nixon did not go this far."

"Not a bit," Beschloss replied. "Did you see Eisenhower do something like this? 'Let's have domestic terrorism to resolve who's going to be the next president'? This is a thread that goes through Donald Trump back to the early rallies of late 2015. Remember when he used to say— and this was novel at the time and it has become old hat with him — 'Look at those reporters in the hall, mainstream press are bad people.' The audience would boo and some were worried that there would be violence by some in the hall against reporters and other journalists who were trying to report on what was going on."

Trump's E. Jean Carroll lawyer says ex-president's attorneys know his big defense is a lie

Donald Trump's own attorneys know that his biggest argument against his criminal hush money cover-up guilty verdicts is a "ridiculous" lie, according to a lawyer who represented the former president in the civil defamation case that resulted in Trump owing tens of millions of dollars to writer E. Jean Carroll.

Joe Tacopina represented Trump in the Carroll case, where the former president was found liable for sexually assaulting and defaming the magazine writer. Tacopina would later leave the legal team, saying he needs to "follow his compass."

'Trump has 'no better option' and is 'stuck' with current losing legal team: reporter

After describing the shock Donald Trump and his lawyers demonstrated after the Manhattan hush money jury ruled against him on 34 felony counts on Thursday, the Guardian's Hugo Lowell said now-convicted Trump likely has no alternatives when it comes to legal representation as he moves on to his next trial.

Speaking with MSNBC host Katie Phang, Lowell described how crestfallen Trump and his lawyers were when they realized the jury had reached their verdict so quickly, describing the former president and his team laughing and joking when they were called back into the courtroom before they received the bad news.

Asked about what is next for Trump, Lowell said his next stop is Fort Pierce, Florida where Trump's team led by losing attorney Todd Blanche will immerse his team in the obstruction of justice case being overseen by Trump appointee Judge Aileen Cannon.

Asked if there were any lawyer changes planned after the Manhattan debacle left the former president as a convicted felon, Lowell claimed the former president is stuck with them.

"We will see Todd Blanche in Ft. Pierce with us at the evidentiary hearings?" host Phang asked.

"That is the expectation," Lowell replied. "And, again, the fact that he is still here is indicative of the fact that they think there is nothing he could have done and they have no other better option, you know?"

"Trump is stuck with the legal team he has now," he continued. "You know, and it is him [Blanche] and Emil Bove and they know that this is going to be the team that rides through to the end."

'Old and decrepit' Trump rant exposed him as 'a shadow of what he was four years ago'

MSNBC host Katie Phang said Donald Trump did himself no favors at his Friday press conference where he rambled about his felony convictions, with the former prosecutor saying he appeared "old and decrepit" while handing prosecutors more ammo that can be used against him.

Appearing on MSNBC's "The Weekend," Phang made a comparison to the film "Weekend at Bernie's" where a recently deceased businessman is passed off as still being alive.

Speaking with the hosts of "The Weekend," she explained Trump's Friday 40-minute rant probably pleased prosecutors from the Manhattan District Attorney's office.

"He is digging himself into a deeper hole," she explained. "He is showing a lack of remorse that the judge will take into account when he is deciding what to do for the sentence."

"The fact that there was the defiance of the gag order yesterday, he violated it during deliberations, during opening arguments," she elaborated. "Just because you didn't see the DA's office file a motion doesn't mean it didn't happen."

Watch: Lauren Boebert loses it on debate moderator as he grills her on Beetlejuice lies

A Colorado anchorman had Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-CO) back on her heels during a debate among candidates seeking the House seat representing the state's 4th district by pressing her on her lies about her Beetlejuice groping theater scandal.

The contentious back and forth between Channel 9's Kyle Clark and the controversial GOP lawmaker ended with him ignoring her personal attacks on him as he moved on to other candidates who stood by and watched the squabble.

Boebert attempted to dismiss the scandal that made her a national joke saying she had made mistakes and apologized for her conduct, but Clark persisted and asked her if she had apologized to the service workers she harassed and abused as she was escorted from the Denver theater where she was filmed giving them the finger.

"Did you apologize for lying to voters about what you did that night and the disrespect you showed to service workers," he asked. "What specifically were you apologizing for?"

A stuttering Boebert replied, "I don't believe there was disrespect. Things were absolutely taken out of context."

"There's a video of your interactions with service workers," Clark reminded her .

"Well, it has been reported that I flipped someone off and I did not," Boebert shot back. "I think it has been very mischaracterized. I'm apologizing for you, Kyle Clark, for getting video and releasing that and people seeing it in a very private moment."

She then went on the attack, stating, "But you just recently had an interview with City Cast Denver about how disgusting it is to record someone without their knowledge!"

As Boebert continued to rage at him he turned to the other candidates and proposed talking about earmarks as he ignored her tirade.
