ABC News' Jonathan Karl this week warned that former President Donald Trump's vision for a second term would be far darker than even that of his first, which infamously ended with a deadly riot at the United States Capitol.

While talking with anti-Trump conservative Bill Kristol, Karl outlined how Trump's 2016 campaign, while dark, at least made gestures toward building a prosperous America.

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) veered off topic at a gun violence hearing on Tuesday to ask why the Senate committee was not investigating liberal billionaire George Soros.

At a Judiciary Committee hearing, Cruz used the majority of his time to grandstand and attack Democrats.

Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) on Tuesday got more than he bargained for when he questioned a witness at a Senate hearing about the causes of gun-related crime in the city of Chicago.

While questioning Dr. Megan Ranney of the Yale School of Public Health, Kennedy asked for her opinion on why Chicago "has become America's largest outdoor shooting range."

Rep. Ben Cline (R-VA) accused Hunter Biden of "blocking" Rep. James Comer's (R-KY) impeachment investigation by offering to testify in public.

During an interview on Newsmax, Cline suggested that the offer was a plot to stall the probe.

Donald Trump has started talking again about scrapping Obamacare, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough mocked him for going out of his way to pick the wrong side of an issue.

President Joe Biden's campaign is already planning television ads highlighting the former president's threats to health insurance coverage for millions of Americans, and the "Morning Joe" host said Trump's longstanding grudge against Barack Obama has come back to bite him again.

Donald Trump and his lawyers are trying to delay his criminal trials until after the 2024 election when he could theoretically pardon himself as president, but one of those cases seems to be virtually pardon proof.

Right-wing attorney John Eastman, one of the former president's co-defendants in the Georgia election subversion case, wants to speed up the schedule for reaching a plea agreement, which MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance told "Morning Joe" is intended to delay Trump's trial and give his attorneys a preview of the evidence.

Former Vice President Mike Pence is saying that a typographical error in his book obscured a serious moment in which he admonished former President Donald Trump against his plan to overturn the 2020 presidential election.

Specifically, the former vice president told special counsel Jack Smith's team about the errant insertion of a comma in the statement "You know, I don't have the authority to change the outcome of the election," which made it look as if Pence was simply explaining it wouldn't work, when in reality he was scolding Trump that he knew it was illegal and was doing it anyway.

A legal analyst has been struck by the lack of names Donald Trump has on his witness list for the 2020 election and Jan. 6 trial in federal court.

Speaking to MSNBC host Ali Velshi on Monday, legal analysts Lisa Rubin and Andrew Weissmann talked about the list of potential witnesses who could step up to defend Trump in the case.

MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell objected on Monday after psychologist Robert Epstein claimed "voter fraud is not the issue" when it comes to Republican election losses.

In an appearance on Steve Bannon's War Room program, Epstein explained the details of his $3 million initiative to monitor technology companies that push to increase voting participation.

A Black C-SPAN caller explained Monday that she owned a gun because she fears "racist" supporters of Donald Trump in Georgia.

The woman named Doris told C-SPAN host John McArdle that she got the gun even though she didn't believe in violence.

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to discuss a New York Times report on Donald Trump's questionable use of presidential pardons before he left office, the Times' Michael S. Schmidt revealed that the former president found the prospect of unfettered commutation of sentences and "attractive" perk that came with the job.

Discussing the deep dive into the Trump pardon — with the assistance of son-in-law Jared Kushner — of felon Jonathan Braun that "destroyed " a Department of Justice investigation into predatory lending, Schmidt explained that the former president found the ability to issue pardons a valuable tool when it came to securing the loyalty of others.

After regular "Morning Joe" panelist Jonathan Lemire interrupted a discussion about Joe Biden's accomplishments as president to report that Donald Trump was defensively posting about accusations he is in mental decline, co-host Mika Brezinski smirked — and then shot it down.

In a rambling post early Monday morning, the former president claimed that when he mistook Barack Obama for Joe Biden, he was being sarcastic, writing, "No, I know both names very well, never mix them up, and know that they are destroying our Country. Also, and as reported, I just took a cognitive test as part of my Physical Exam, and ACED it. Also ACED (a perfect score!) one taken while in the White House."

Following an extended diatribe by MSNBC "Morning Joe" Joe Scarborough aimed at Donald Trump's ugly rhetoric as he makes a third bid for the presidency, Atlantic writer Peter Wehner fired back at the former president, who flipped out on the Atlantic over a piece the former GOP speechwriter wrote about him.

On Saturday, Trump lashed out on Truth Social, writing, "It’s so good to see how badly the THIRD RATE MAGAZINE, The Atlantic, is doing. It’s failing at a level seldom seen before, even in the Publishing Business. False and Fake stories do it every time! They’ve got a rich person funding the ridiculous losses, but at some point, rich people get smart also. Steve Jobs would not be proud of his wife, Laurene, and the way she is spending his money. The Radical Left is destroying America!"
