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.

Asked about Donald Trump's attack on former South Carolina Nikki Haley's husband during a campaign rally on Saturday, Republican Party campaign strategist Scott Jennings spewed a string of obscenities on CNN's "State of the Union" on Sunday morning.

On Saturday Trump spoke of Major Mark Haley, stating: "Then she comes over to see me at Mar-a-Lago. ‘Sir, I will never run against you.’ She brought her husband. Where’s your husband? Oh, he’s away. He’s away. What happened to her husband? What happened to her husband? Where is he? He’s gone! He knew. He knew."

With host Tapper noting that Haley's husband is serving a one-year tour of duty in Africa with the South Carolina National Guard, Jennings jumped right into the fray.

"Haley is not with his wife because he is serving his country in Africa, where they are fighting terrorism," Tapper prompted his guest.

"He's an a**hole," Jennings shot back.

"You're talking about Trump, to be clear?" the CNN host interjected.

"It will not be the first time he's been an a**hole or the last time he'll be an a**hole, that's what it is," Jennings exclaimed.

"And some people like it people will slough it off. This is a tough political campaign. The man is serving the United States in uniform overseas and it's a below-the-belt shot, against someone who is not going to beat him for the nomination."

"Joe Biden is doing everything he can to hand this election to Donald Trump and his response is to go after a guy that is serving America, and saying, I would encourage Russia to invade our allies. The political ineptitude is alone enough to be upset about."

House Oversight Committee Chair James Comer (R-KY) declined to defend his Republican colleagues after a failed impeachment of Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas.

During a Sunday interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo reflected on the failed impeachment effort.

Appearing on MSNBC early Sunday morning, former Assistant United States Attorney Andrew Weissmann claimed U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida Judge Aileen Cannon is in danger of having the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals ask her to recuse herself from overseeing Donald Trump's obstruction of justice trial.

Speaking with the hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend," Weissmann criticized Cannon for possibly exposing witnesses in the trial to danger as she battles special counsel Jack Smith over evidence she is demanding Smith hand over.

"So now there is this issue, with respect to divulging the name of someone who is under investigation which could interfere with a criminal investigation," he told the hosts. "We don't know about the underlying facts of that so it is somewhat guesswork."

"What I can tell, you as a — I have been in a prosecutor for many years — that does not get disclosed when you are doing an investigation," he continued. "To me, it is so reminiscent of the same problem she had during the investigation. So, if she continues this route, it will be interesting to see whether Jack Smith gets to the 11th circuit and whether they sort of politely recuse her, essentially, which happens when the circuit hears the case and basically says 'When we send this back, we think that the better course is for a different judge to hear it.'"

During an interview on ABC's This Week program, host Jonathan Karl noted that Hur had described Biden as an elderly man with a poor memory.

Appearing with former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance and conservative lawyer George Conway, former FBI General Counsel Andrew Weissmann claimed Judge Cannon is "playing with fire" by not adhering to the law in Donald Trump's Florida trial.

Speaking with MSNBC host Katie Phang, Weissmann noted that Cannon has previously butted heads with the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals in matters related to Donald Trump, and her latest failure to adhere to the law will not be looked kindly upon.

Asked by the host what comes next for special counsel Jack Smith with the prospect he may turn to the court of appeals over a demand for evidence, Weissmann replied, "I think is going to be fascinating to see what he does. We don't know the underlying facts, but we do have a sense of them from Jack Smith's submission, as you noted with respect to the concern about safety."

"If you put that together with what George [Conway] pointed out, which is to remind everyone about Judge Cannon's really truly horrific history in sort of the pre-indictment phase where she was reversed from the 11th Circuit not once but twice in fairly scathing language, what Jack Smith may very well do today is seek what is called a writ of mandate," he explained.

"It's a form of appeal, without getting into the technicalities to say, once again, she is really not adhering to the law here," he continued. "And I do think if she is doing something that would hurt the witnesses unduly, where this is the kind of thing that I think any other judge in the case would not take that step, that is the kind of thing that, depending on who the panel is, and again, I always refer to Joyce [Vance] on all things 11th Circuit, and frankly everything else."

"I do think that is the kind of thing that can get an appellate panel really angry about the way in which this is handled, and that was very much what we saw and was evident in the 11th Circuit's reversal of her twice," he added. "[It] was a real concern about her disregard of classified information of the role of the intelligence community interfering with normal criminal investigations and explicitly saying that Donald Trump will be treated differently and more favorably than other defendants. And she was rebuked twice, saying that is not the standard, he is to be treated no better and no worse than anyone else."

"So she could really be playing with fire here in this ruling, but it remains to be seen, the underlying facts in what Jack Smith does," he remarked. "I do think if he takes it up, basically as you said, fasten your seatbelts as to what could happen."
