Trump's latest filing in his criminal obstruction of classified documents case is a time-sucking ruse.

That's essentially how national security attorney Bradley Moss chocked it up when he appeared on MSNBC's "The Last Word" with Lawrence O'Donnell Tuesday night.

A jury last year found former President Donald Trump liable for defaming and sexually abusing journalist E. Jean Carroll.

While this is the kind of damaging verdict that most politicians would dream of using against their opponents, Trump's rivals for the Republican Party nomination have shied away from attacking him over it.

Republican caucusgoers in Iowa tossed their ballots for their choice of GOP presidential nominee into supermarket brown paper bags Tuesday night in chaotic scenes captured on video. In one, caucusgoers walk up and toss their ballots into a HyVee Supermarket bag, in another the brown bag is passed around. In both videos the word "ballots" is written in magic marker at the top of the bag. Critics are calling out the possibility of fraud and claiming hypocrisy by the party that says it is focused on election integrity.

"Voters jotted their candidate on sheet of paper before they were all collected in a brown grocery bag," notes WFAA senior reporter Jason Whitely in this video that has received over half-a-million views.

If Donald Trump decides to testify in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case it could end up being a "bloodbath" — but not in the way he thinks, a legal analyst said Tuesday.

The first day of Trump's trial concerning the lawsuit filed by the author begins Tuesday and, despite winning the Iowa Caucuses just hours before, he rushed to be in court instead of campaigning in New Hampshire.

Donald Trump is attending his second defamation trial involving journalist E. Jean Carroll, but an expert said Tuesday he might be wasting his time.

Most of the basic facts in the case have already been decided after a jury found last year that Trump had sexually abused Carroll and then defamed her after leaving office. The latest trial will determine the penalties he must face for defamatory comments he made while serving in the White House — and the judge likely won't tolerate any outbursts from the former president.

Donald Trump cruised to an easy victory in the Iowa caucus, and MSNBC's Steve Kornacki identified a surprising shift in the polling that showed him pulling away from his Republican rivals.

The former president has become the clear frontrunner for the GOP nomination, despite four indictments on 91 felony charges, two impeachments and looming penalties after he was found liable for business fraud and defaming his sex abuse victim, and Kornacki told "Morning Joe" that those legal problems were actually a political benefit to him.
