MSNBC's Joe Scarborough mocked Donald Trump's refusal to testify in his hush money trial after boasting that he would take the stand.

The former president has been promising to testify in a trial he calls a "scam," but ultimately the defense rested after calling only two witnesses – neither of them Trump – and the "Morning Joe" host wondered how anyone could be surprised.

Former President Donald Trump furiously backtracked on Monday after he suggested he might restrict Americans' access to contraception in his second term.

But CNN political analyst S.E. Cupp suspects this kind of move shows that Trump is scrambling to figure out how to placate his evangelical base voters without also alienating swing voters.

A Republican senator who appeared on CNN to criticize Democrats for "playing politics" over proposed legislation found himself instead fielding tough questions about former President Donald Trump's efforts to sink his bill.

Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) faced off against anchor Kaitlan Collins Tuesday night when the pair debated who exactly was to blame for his failed border control policy package that died in February and is predicted to die again next week.

Former President Donald Trump well and truly operated his presidency — and his efforts to keep it legally protected — like a Mafia operation, former FBI Director James Comey told MSNBC's Alex Wagner on Tuesday evening.

This comes as Trump's criminal hush payment trial in Manhattan moves closer and closer to jury deliberation — and as Republican allies of Trump come to New York to attack court officers' families and witnesses, which, Comey said, is by design.

Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was torched by MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Tuesday following reports on his family's display of a pro-Trump extremist symbol at his house just as the Jan. 6 attack was taking place.

Hayes set the scene by playing a clip of Alito speaking to students at the extremely conservative and anti-abortion Franciscan University of Steubenville: "You may find yourself in a job or a community or a social setting where you will be pressured to endorse ideas you don't believe or to abandon core beliefs. It will be up to you to speak out."

Hush money trial Justice Juan Merchan's dressing down of defense witness Robert Costello behind closed doors might as well have happened in front of former President Donald Trump's criminal court jury, a former New York City judge argued Tuesday.

Retired New York Supreme Court Justice Diane Kiesel appeared on CNN to offer some insight on what's likely taking amongst the jury as the historic criminal case against Trump winds down.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani complained Tuesday after being ordered to put up collateral for a $10,000 secured bond in an Arizona case about "fake electors."

Soon after appearing remotely before a judge in Maricopa County, Giuliani spoke on his podcast about the requirement for a bond as he faces bankruptcy proceedings. Arizona officials alleged Giuliani participated in a scheme to overturn the 2020 presidential election with fake electors.

Donald Trump did not testify Tuesday before his defense rested in the Manhattan hush money trial, despite him vowing to take the stand to clear his name of the 34 counts of falsifying business records to cover up a hush-money scheme that he's accused of.

One of his former lawyers suggested it could be due to exhaustion.

Donald Trump spoke out in a rambling speech Tuesday outside of the Manhattan courtroom that CNN found so objectionable it cut the rant midway through.

"As they say, there is no crime," Trump said, repeating soundbites he brought up multiple times. "It should be dismissed before you have a verdict. But they have a judge that's, let's say, complicated."

Presumptive Republican nominee Donald Trump will reportedly attend a fundraising luncheon organized by leading oil and gas executives in Houston on Wednesday, following a controversial offer he made to the industry to roll back environmental regulations in return for $1 billion in campaign donations—with two companies associated with both events.

At his Mar-a-Lago Club last month, Trump told a group of roughly two dozen oil and gas executives that $1 billion would be a "deal" for them, given how much money they would make in reduced taxes and regulations if he is elected, TheWashington Post first reported.

An Arizona judge has ordered Rudy Giuliani to surrender within 30 days. The former New York City mayor is facing charges related to a fake elector scheme to overturn the results of the 2020 presidential election.

In a Tuesday Maricopa County Superior Court hearing, prosecutors argued that Giuliani had evaded being served with indictment papers.

U.S. Rep. Victoria Spartz (R-IN) is calling on Congress to "shut down" the U.S. economy over the southern border, while accusing President Joe Biden of Marxist policies and denouncing his border legislation that Donald Trump ordered killed months ago.

Congresswoman Spartz on Tuesday spoke to Fox News Business host Maria Bartiromo in a rambling interview on the Senate bipartisan border bill that Donald Trump ordered killed. Democratic Majority Leader Chuck Schumer is one again trying to pass it.

The co-hosts of "The View" weren't shocked by the latest Nazi reference by the presumptive 2024 Republican presidential candidate.

On Monday, President Joe Biden's campaign called out Donald Trump for a video that shared a series of headlines about his new order.
