During an appearance on MSNBC on Sunday morning, Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell suggested that Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis has put Donald Trump on notice that he can expect no plea deals or mercy and that she fully intends to see that he goes to jail.

Speaking with MSNBC host Katie Phang, Lowell elaborated on his report about a fiery exchange of emails between Willis and Trump's attorneys and said they set the stage for the Georgia prosecutor's "endgame" in the sprawling racketeering case related to accusation of 2020 presidential election interference.

Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) argued on Sunday that Republicans should "easily" vote to begin an impeachment inquiry into President Joe Biden because former Rep. George Santos (R-NY) was expelled from Congress.

During an interview on Fox News, host Maria Bartiromo pointed out that some Republicans might not vote for an impeachment inquiry.

As House GOPers aim to move towards a President Joe Biden impeachment this week, MSNBC's Katie Phang spoke with 2020 Republican presidential candidate Joe Walsh's former campaign manager Lucy Caldwell about how the outcome of the effort could impact the party.

"House Republicans introduced a resolution on Thursday to authorize an inquiry into President Joe Biden," Phang said. "The House Rules committee is to take it up on Tuesday in a couple of days. So the earliest that any vote could happen is Wednesday. Do you think this move will backfire for Republicans going into 2024?"

CNN host Jake Tapper called out Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) on Sunday after he claimed that Republicans do not want to curb birth control rights for women.

"I also think we have to win the trust back of the American people, and one of the ways to do that is to be the truly pro-family party," Vance told Tapper during a discussion about abortion.

Fox News host Rachel Campos-Duffy compared the alleged censorship of conservative students to calls for Jewish genocide.

During a Sunday discussion on Fox & Friends Weekend, co-host Will Cain noted that the University of Pennsylvania's president, M. Elizabeth Magill, had resigned following testimony where she was asked if calls for Jewish "genocide" could be punished at her school.

During an appearance on CNN early Sunday morning, former federal prosecutor Shan Wu laughed and seemed baffled why Donald Trump attorney Alina Habba chose to go on Fox News last Friday and admit she doesn't want her client to take the stand on Monday.

Appearing with CNN host Amara Walker, Wu was asked what he expected Trump to say and do when he takes the stand on Monday in Judge Arthur Engoron's courtroom on Monday to defend himself in the $250 million financial fraud trial.

First stating, "A lot could go wrong; he's a bad witness for everybody, he meanders a lot when he's on direct, he meanders a lot on cross, if he gets hostile on cross that's not a very good look for him.," the attorney added, "It is a bench trial, it could be less damaging than before a jury, and it may mean nothing because the judge has already decided the important parts of the case."

Changing gears he brought up Habba's appearance on Fox where she told host Martha MacCallum that she advised her client to boycott appearing and that he is ignoring her advice.

"First of all, usually, you don't get in front of the cameras and say what you advise the client— it's kind of privileged," Wu laughed.

"Second of all, it seems wrong," he continued. "I mean, no one is going to find he violated a gag order by testifying. I mean: apples and oranges. The gag order is don't talk about the trial outside of the courtroom, not that you're not allowed to testify. So it just seems odd."

During an appearance on MSNBC on Saturday, a laughing former Southern District of New York prosecutor claimed that any advantage Donald Trump might have gained from one of his expert defense witnesses in his $250 million criminal fraud trial likely went out the window when the witness admitted how much he was paid.

Speaking with host Alex Witt, ex-prosecutor Kristy Greenberg claimed it was a "one hundred percent" certainty the money was wasted.

Pointing to New York University accounting professor Eli Bartov telling the court he billed the former president and his PAC $1,350 an hour for his time and testimony — and worked a total of 650 hours making his fee close to $900,000 — Greenberg said that would make it easy for Judge Arthur Engoron to dismiss what he had to say.

"It is interesting, he [Bartov] says he spent 650 hours on this," Greenberg began as she burst into laughter. "You wonder what he is actually looking at over that time. To be fair, to compare, the prosecution witness was paid about $350,000 — he [Bartov] has been paid more than double."

"Here is the other thing to think about: that much money!" host Witt exclaimed. "Is it going to undermine his credibility at all? Like you were paid and, dot, dot, dot."

"One hundred percent!" Greenberg quickly shot back before explaining, "This is a bench trial, you have a judge here, not a jury. The judge is smart, he understands what was happening here. He [Bartov]was paid a handsome sum and he said what Trump wanted him to say."
