Appearing on MSNBC with host Yasmin Vossoughian, author and journalist Michael Isikoff accused the lawyer for Jeffrey Clark of lying about what is in his book "Find Me the Votes" as part of his attack on Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis during a nationally televised hearing on Friday.

Speaking with the host, the journalist singled out Clark attorney Harry McDougal for waving around his book and "misrepresenting" what he wrote about Donald Trump's attempts to undermine the 2020 presidential vote total in Georgia that is central to the RICO case brought by Willis.

In an interview with CNN's Christiane Amanpour, Mary Trump — a psychologist and niece of Donald Trump — was pressed to explain what happened to her uncle as he grew up that recently led a world leader to call the former president "creepy."

In a recent interview, former Australian Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull told a panel that he was put off by the former president's demeanor around Russian President Vladimir Putin, saying "... he’s like the 12-year-old boy who goes to high school and meets the captain of the football team. ‘My hero,'” before adding, "It’s really creepy.”

Amanpour asked Trump's niece why the former president is that way around oppressive dictators.

"I'm really stunned by how what you said and I didn't know what you're going to say about his childhood matched exactly what a former prime minister of Australia witnessed," the CNN host prompted.

"Yeah, and I think what's important to know, that most people certainly wouldn't, it is really no laughing matter when at that point the leader of the free world is being described as a pre-pubescent child with a crush on an older, more powerful person," the psychologist replied before adding, " What the consequences are."

"It's not simply that Donald knew that by fulfilling his father's demands to be the quote, unquote killer, to be the successful one, it was understanding what would happen to him if he failed to do those things because he had an object lesson in my father, who was quite literally destroyed by his inability to fill the role my grandfather required of him."

Reacting to an interview with NBC News that she has changed her mind about limits on abortion, former Republican National Committee chair Michael Steele pounced on Kari Lake for flip-flopping as she makes a second bid for political office.

Lake, considered the GOP frontrunner for the U.S. Senate seat currently held by Sen. Kyrsten Sinema (I-AZ), is now saying she has reconsidered her opinion on a nationwide abortion ban — a move that has proven to be a loser for conservatives across the country.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend," conservative attorney George Conway argued that Donald Trump would be better off if the Supreme Court rushed out a decision on the question of his presidential immunity as quickly as possible.

Speaking with the hosts and predicting a ruling against the former president would likely be issued in June, Conway said that the Jan. 6 trial to be conducted by Judge Tanya Chutkan would proceed at the schedule she has proposed would place it right before the election to the former president's detriment.

According to Conway, one need only look at the calendar to see a trial over Trump's part in the Jan. 6 insurrection being in full swing in October.

"Politically it's not helpful for Donald Trump," he began. "Sometimes in litigation you lose by getting what you asked for. What he has asked for in the January 6th case is delay, delay, but he may not get enough delay."

''I mean, the Supreme Court took this case and, probably not to delay the case, but they probably think they have something to add to the law in this area. And there are multiple motions that Donald Trump has been making both in Georgia and Florida that may be, you know, the guidance could be helpful to the Supreme Court."

"But the end result would be, we are going to get a decision, the case is still expedited, the appeal to the Supreme Court is still expedited," he added. "We will get a decision by the end of June, maybe even earlier. If that is true, you do the math: you get a trial in August, September, October and that is not a good thing for Donald Trump. It would be better to get it over, with frankly, even with a conviction."
