Judge Aileen Cannon may have gone too far with a recent ruling in former President Donald Trump’s classified documents case and could potentially be yanked from overseeing it, according to the Obama administration’s ethics czar.

Attorney Norm Eisen on Monday condemned the order by Cannon, a Trump-appointed federal judge in Florida, that demanded special counsel Jack Smith’s unredacted witness lists be made public.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said the U.S. could expect "unhinged chaos" if Donald Trump is allowed to win the GOP primary.

During an interview on Fox News, Haley responded to Trump's attack on her deployed husband. She said people who defended Trump — like Sen. Marco Rubio (R-FL) — were "disgusting."

CNN's Christiane Amanpour could not believe that former President Donald Trump over the weekend floated not defending American allies were they to be attacked by Russia.

Appearing on the network on Monday, Amanpour was asked by host Poppy Harlow about any reaction she's heard from global leaders about Trump's remarks, which sparked a public rebuke from NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg.

Former Trump official Alyssa Farah Griffin offered a dire warning about her one-time boss's desire to scrap America's commitment to NATO.

Appearing on CNN, Griffin argued that Trump repeatedly mused about ditching NATO during his first term, and she said that his determination to pull America out of the alliance is not mere rhetoric.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough mocked Donald Trump for burying renewed concerns about President Joe Biden by making outrageous and nonsensical remarks over the weekend.

The Biden team spent the weekend pushing back on concerns about the president's age and memory that were raised by special counsel Robert Hur's report, but the "Morning Joe" host ripped Trump for stomping all over that political gift by inviting Russia to invade NATO allies and rambling incoherently during campaign rallies.

CNN's Phil Mattingly expressed bewilderment on Monday that there has been so much focus on President Joe Biden's age when former President Donald Trump isn't exactly a portrait of lucidity himself.

Mattingly's remarks came in light of a recent poll showing that the overwhelming majority of Americans believe Biden is too old to be president, whereas a significantly smaller majority say the same thing about Trump.

Donald Trump is fond of telling self-aggrandizing stories where otherwise strong individuals throw themselves at his mercy, gratuitously calling him "sir," and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said his latest version shows the former president is "losing it."

The ex-president told a rally crowd that he told a foreign leader that he would let Russia to "do whatever the hell they want," in violation of the NATO treaty, and the "Morning Joe" host said that was an obvious lie.

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani said that he was personally insulted after what's known as "The Black National Anthem" was scheduled to be performed at the Super Bowl.

On Giuliani's Sunday WABC radio program, co-host Maria Ryan said she had a "beef" with the NFL.

Pouncing on Donald Trump's boast to a South Carolina crowd that he would encourage Russia to invade NATO countries at will if they don't contribute enough to the organization, MSNBC host Jen Psaki suggested his latest words should give even Republicans pause.

Sharing a clip of the four-times indicted Trump telling the rally crowd, "NATO was busted until I came along. I said, ‘Everybody’s gonna pay.’ They said, ‘Well, if we don’t pay, are you still going to protect us?’ I said, ‘Absolutely not.’ They couldn’t believe the answer.”

He then added “one of the presidents of a big country” asked him whether the US would still defend their country if they were invaded by Russia even if they “don’t pay.” Trump recalled, "No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want. You got to pay. You got to pay your bills.”

Noting the former president's longtime vendetta against NATO, Psaki explained, "Now look, he says a lot of stuff, but that's the Republican frontrunner for the president of the United States signaling to the Kremlin that he will give them a free hand to invade their European neighbors if he's given a second term."

She continued, "And as commander-in-chief, he would have the United States stand back and watch it happen. Let's be clear about what that would mean: any attack on a NATO ally would trigger a massive show of force by its members across the world. That's because under Article 5, an attack on one is considered an attack on all."

"Just take it from the NATO secretary general who responded to Trump's comments with this, quote, 'Any suggestion that allies will not defend each other undermines all of our security, including that of the U.S. and puts American and European soldiers at increased risk.'"

"Donald Trump is not only saying he wouldn't come to the defense of a NATO ally, he is inviting Russia to attack them," she added. "I cannot tell you how terrifying that type of language is for our allies sitting and listening to what he's saying and also how happy it must make Vladimir Putin."

A right-wing pundit insisted there was a chance that Taylor Swift could perform at Donald Trump's inauguration if he is re-elected as president.

Turning Point USA ambassador Debra Lea made the suggestion during a Sunday discussion about Swift on Newsmax.

During an appearance on NBC's "Meet the Press," Joe Biden's re-election campaign co-chair Mitch Landrieu cut off host Kristin Welker when she tried to equate Joe Biden with Donald Trump as threats to the nation's security.

Asked on to talk about the report from special counsel Robert Hur about government documents Biden handed back to the government after Trump's Mar-a-Lago was raided by the FBI.

"Just to be very clear, the report didn't say he [Biden] wasn't engaged in any wrongdoing," the Meet the Press host stated. "In fact, it was quite firm in the fact that he mishandled classified documents, he just wasn't indicted and criminally charged. But let me follow up with you --."

"But Kristen, wait. No, no, no, no no. You can't — I'm not going to accept that premise," Landrieu interrupted. "In an investigation, a special counsel determines based on the facts and the law about whether somebody engaged in criminal wrongdoing and he found out that the president did. As a matter of fact, he's the only special counsel that's been engaged in this kind of activity that had to say that he could not indict somebody, and that is a fact and so that's the big takeaway from this report from a legal perspective."

"From a legal perspective, that is absolutely right," Welker replied. "He said he was not going to indict."

"Because he didn't have the law and the facts to do it," her guest added.

"Well, right, but he did say that classified documents were mishandled and he said that national security could have been jeopardized, but let me ask you this --," she continued.

"But, Kristen, he didn't say national security — no ma'am, I'm sorry — he didn't say national security was compromised and you just heard from the secretary of national security —," Landrieu protested.

"He said it could have been," the NBC host interrupted.

"But it was not, and the facts and the law suggested that the president was not engaged in criminal activity," he replied before adding, "To be distinguished between the former president who right now has 91 felony counts pending against him in four different cases. So let's just keep the facts right and let's not make false comparisons between the two which people, unfortunately, do a lot of these days."

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley seemed to forget the date of the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, moments after calling for mental fitness tests for presidential candidates.

During a Sunday interview on CBS, Face the Nation host Margaret Brennan noted that Haley was pushing the cognitive tests.
