'Far out of line': CNN legal expert calls Fani Willis' latest move 'improper'

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is purportedly ducking her alleged boyfriend's divorce subpoena and using Trump's sprawling RICO election interference case as a "shield."

'He's a 5-year-old, okay?' Trump flattened by George Conway over latest 'tantrum'

Addressing Donald Trump's meltdowns and irrational behavior in his latest courtroom appearances, conservative attorney George Conway disabused any notion that the former president is engaging in an elaborate strategy to rally his supporters and plead his case in the court of public opinion.

During an appearance on MSNBC's "The Weekend", a very animated Conway explained that the former president is nothing more than a petulant child who is unable to control himself.

"There is no strategy, it is just all emotional," he told the MSNBC hosts. "It's all — look, it is bragging and lying and intimidating and bullying. That is literally those are the things that he does. And there he is trying to bully. There he is just angry at being held accountable."

'Another made-up story': GOP official laughs at Trump for hinting at new voter fraud

During an appearance on CNN early Saturday morning, a member of the New Hampshire GOP Executive Committee smirked and blew off accusations from Donald Trump that the Republican primary vote in her state will be tainted.

Speaking with host Victor Blackwell, Juliana Bergeron made a point of stating that this is not the first time the former president has lied about election fraud.

"The former president has said several times that Democrats, in his characterization, are going to infiltrate the Republican primary," the CNN host prompted. "Of course registered Democrats cannot vote in the Republican primary, only the undeclared can. The breakdown here: 344,000 registered as undeclared, 270,000 registered as Republicans. The governor says that just before the deadline to switch party registration, about 4,000 Democrats moved to undeclared or Republican. Do they play any significant role here, considering those numbers?"

"They always play a significant role in New Hampshire," Bergeron dryly replied. "The Republicans — either the Republicans or the Democrats can't win an election without pulling the independents in the state, so they'll be the deciding factor here, I think."

"You know, at this point there's not a real race on the Democrat's side, so more of them are going to be voting Republican this side, and I think more of them will be voting for Nikki [Haley]. I think she's picking up Chris Christie's people and I think she has a greater following here in New Hampshire than she had in Iowa."

"The 344,000 undeclared. When the former president says that Democrats are infiltrating the Republican primary, your reaction to that characterization?" host Blackwell pressed.

"Yeah, no,' she laughed before adding, "I don't think that's true. I don't think that's true. I think it's another made-up story. I don't know how much we can believe of what the former president says anyway, but this is just another exaggeration."

'Trump was trying to distract us' from newly dropped video evidence in fraud case: expert
