Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis interrupted a hearing and volunteered to testify on Thursday.

During a hearing to determine if she would be disqualified in an election interference case, attorneys for the defense argued that Willis should testify.

Conservative podcast host Steve Bannon said that he fears Donald Trump could be too "mentally hurt" to govern effectively if he is reelected.

As news broke in two of Trump's court cases, Bannon lamented the "lawfare" against the former president.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) went on the warpath on Thursday against a medical professional who said COVID-19 vaccines saved millions of lives.

During a hearing on vaccine safety in the House of Representatives, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) asked Food and Drug Administration official Dr. Peter Marks to comment on the impact that the vaccines had on Americans' health after they began to be administered on a widespread basis in 2021 during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee threatened to kick one of Donald Trump's co-defendants out of a hearing on Thursday.

At a proceeding to determine whether District Attorney Fani Willis and Special Prosecutor Nathan Wade should be disqualified from Trump's election interference case, defense attorney Ashleigh Merchant grilled Wade about personal expenses. Merchant asked Wade about travel with Willis in an attempt to prove the two had a romantic relationship.

Former President Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba is not looking forward to the verdict in her client's civil fraud case, she revealed in an interview this week with Newsmax's Eric Bolling.

The case, brought by New York Attorney General Letitia James, claims that Trump and his two adult sons systematically made fraudulent property valuations to manipulate their tax liability and loan terms, something they vigorously denied at trial. But Judge Arthur Engoron has already held Trump liable for fraud in a summary judgment, with the trial largely to decide damages.

Former President Donald Trump on Thursday made the curious legal argument that he didn't commit a crime even if he was guilty of committing one.

Standing outside a courthouse in Manhattan, the former president raged at having to spend time defending himself against allegations that he committed financial fraud related to his hush-money payments to an adult film star, and he blamed President Joe Biden for all of his legal woes despite the fact that the current case is being pursued by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Republicans' election loss in the New York special election this week is indicative of a broader problem for the party, argued MSNBC's Chris Hayes on Wednesday's edition of "All In": It shows that they are too trapped in their ideological bubble to even understand what sounds normal and reasonable to a typical voter.

"Republicans approach each election with a kind of unbridled undeserved confidence," argued Hayes. "They believe the voters are with them. They think they represent real Americans and therefore the real majority of the country ... so Republicans do not have to think about whether their message is working or whether they are running good candidates. It is simply their destiny." By contrast, "The Democratic Party, in the larger coalition, is in a near-constant state of anxiety. They're always worried that the coalition will crack, they lose the support of real Americans."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough busted House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for trying to spin the Republican Party's loss of another seat in New York's special election.

The GOP majority shrunk after Democrat Tom Suozzi won back the seat formerly held by Republican George Santos, who was expelled following multiple ethics scandals and criminal indictments, and Johnson insisted that Democrats had underperformed and ran to the right on immigration – but the "Morning Joe" host was unpersuaded.

Special Counsel Jack Smith earned praise from former acting solicitor general Neal Katyal for his latest legal filing that struck a blow against former President Donald Trump's immunity claims.

Katyal appeared on MSNBC's "Last Word" to weigh in on Smith's latest Supreme Court response to quash former President Donald Trump's claim that he possesses absolute immunity from criminal prosecution.
