Former President Donald Trump is running a "scam PAC" and misdirecting his supporters about where the money they are contributing to him is actually going, a former GOP operative alleged Monday.

Tim Miller, a former Republican insider turned Never Trumper, who weighed in on the situation on MSNBC as Trump continues to funnel more and more money into his civil and criminal court cases.

Former Republican National Committee chairman Michael Steele cast doubt Monday on voters' claims that a Donald Trump conviction could shake their support.

A recent poll found 47 percent of Georgia voters and 46 percent of Michigan voters say that the former president should be disqualified from office if he's convicted in the election subversion cases.

Rep. James Comer (R-KY) lashed out at CNN's audience after he was told network host Jake Tapper made him "sound like a joke."

During an interview on Monday morning, Newsmax host Rob Schmitt reflected on Comer's recent discussion with Tapper on CNN.

Fox News host Steve Doocy shot down the Republican narrative that President Joe Biden violated the law by participating in his son's business dealings.

During a Monday discussion on Fox & Friends, co-host Ainsley Earhardt suggested Biden voters would re-think their choice if Republicans could prove Biden broke the law.

Donald Trump decided against testifying in his own defense at his New York fraud trial, and CNN's Elie Honig said he made the right decision.

The former president had planned to take the stand again Monday in the $250 million fraud trial that threatens his real estate empire, but Honig said Trump faced mostly bad options in the case filed by attorney general Letitia James.

Former President Donald Trump recently made a demand that special counsel Jack Smith turn over evidence as part of the discovery process to help him prove the 2020 election was really "stolen" from him.

While such evidence would likely be helpful to Trump at his upcoming election subversion trial, it also is highly unlikely to actually exist since multiple recounts and audits have repeatedly affirmed that Trump legitimately lost the 2020 election.

MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski ripped Texas attorney general Ken Paxton's "cruel" legal battle against a woman who needs an emergency abortion.

The Texas Republican petitioned the state Supreme Court to intervene in the case of Kate Cox, who sued for a court-ordered abortion after her unborn child was diagnosed with a fatal genetic condition that put her own health at risk, and the "Morning Joe" host shamed his intrusion on the 31-year-old mother's personal health situation.

MSNBC host Ayman Mohyeldin had some tough words for Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) after the former speaker unexpectedly announced he would resign from Congress.

"McCarthy follows two other leaders, Eric Cantor and Paul Ryan, the trio, believe it or not, this is a real book, were once called the 'Young Guns' of the GOP," Mohyeldin told the audience on his Saturday show. "And now, as you can see, they're all out of Congress. And yet there is something about McCarthy throwing up the white flag that feels uniquely pathetic, I should say."

According to former Deputy Assistant Attorney General Harry Litman, Donald Trump is putting himself at unnecessary risk if he chooses to testify on Monday in his defense in Judge Arthur Engoron's courtroom.

Speaking with MSNBC host Alex Witt on Sunday afternoon, Litman pointed out that the former president has already lost the $250 million financial fraud case based on an earlier ruling from the judge and the continuing deliberations will be used to arrive at the financial penalties Trump and the Trump Organization will be liable for.

Litman suggested that the former president likely relishes the idea of boasting about his real estate empire and it's worth, but, by taking the stand, he is opening himself up to cross-examination by prosecutors which has the potential to go off the rails.

As he noted, the former president will be pressed by prosecutors to explain away the over-evaluation of his properties and won't have the option of refusing to answer.

'He might not take the stand because there is little for him to gain," Litman predicted, "Remember, this is a judge trial, the judge is going to decide against him and he will, as his son did, give the sort of rosey infomercial for the public. That would be the reason he would testify."

"But, it means he will have to face cross-examination and it won't be like last time when the AG on direct, let him just go on and on," he continued. "They call cross-examination the greatest legal tool ever invented for the discovery of truth, and they can ask, and they are ready to ask very pointed questions. 'Mr. Trump, you knew this wasn't 30,000 feet. You knew it was ten. Yes or no?' Boom, boom, boom. And the judge will enforce that, right? So he [Trump] doesn't stand much to gain on his direct testimony, and does stand to lose on the cross so we'll see what happens."

Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani blamed Barack Obama — the nation's first Black president — for a deterioration of race relations in the United States.

On his Sunday radio program, Giuliani called Democrats "the party of slavery."

Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) said he expected Donald Trump to "adapt" and discard his authoritarian tendencies when he realizes Americans don't want a dictator.

The former House speaker made the remarks during an interview that aired on CBS' Sunday Morning program.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) dropped the hammer on Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) on Sunday morning for her hypocrisy in using a House hearing on antisemitism on college campuses to grandstand on the topic while supporting Donald Trump who has a history of catering to white supremacists.

Speaking with MSNBC host Ali Velshi, Raskin, who is Jewish, said the Catholic Stefanik needs to get down off her "high horse."

The controversial Stefanik launched into furious tirades aimed at the presidents of Harvard, Penn and MIT last week over their equivocations on whether calling for the genocide of Jews constitutes bullying and harassment on their respective campuses.

Video of her grilling of the academics quickly went viral — in large part because the New York Republican flooded social media with clips of herself — and Raskin pounced on MSNBC.

"Where does Elise Stefanik get off lecturing anybody about antisemitism when she's a huge supporter of Donald Trump who traffics in antisemitism all the time?" Raskin exclaimed.

"She didn't utter a peep of protest when he had Kanye West and Nick Fuentes over for dinner — Nick Fuentes, who doubts whether October 7th even took place because he thinks it was some kind of suspicious propaganda move by the Israelis," he pointed out.

"The Republican party is filled with people who are entangled with antisemitism like that and yet, somehow, she gets on her high horse and lectures a Jewish college president from MIT," he added.
