Former FBI general counsel and special counsel prosecutor Andrew Weissmann said Monday he thinks the indictment of Donald Trump will come this week because the Department of Justice is being pressured to move things forward.

The prediction was part of a conversation with MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace about the possible venue for trial if Trump is indicted — Florida or Washington, D.C.

Donald Trump's lawyers met with the Justice Department Monday and reportedly asked that prosecutors don't indict the former president.

Special Counsel Jack Smith has completed all the interviews he'd planned, which legal experts explained signals he is ready to proceed with the indictment. Former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade said on MSNBC Monday that Attorney General Merrick Garland could have already given him the "green light" to pursue charges.

"The View's" Sunny Hostin called out co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin for fretting over President Biden's age after working for Donald Trump, who is less than four years younger.

Griffin, who worked for Trump in 2020 as White House director of strategic communications, expressed concern that Biden, who will turn 81 in November, might not have enough vitality to serve a second four-year term, especially in light of his stumble at the recent Air Force Academy graduation.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Donny Deutsch mocked conservatives for running the "woke" hysteria into the ground.

Ron DeSantis and other Republicans have screeched about the so-called "woke agenda," which they warn will undermine American values and put children at risk from all manner of threats, but the "Morning Joe" host said most voters simply don't care about that manufactured issue.

MSNBC'S Joe Scarborough has said it before, but this time he's pretty sure it's true -- the walls seem to finally be closing in on Donald Trump.

The former president has managed to escape consequences for a number of high crimes and misdemeanors, but the "Morning Joe" host believes a grand jury that has been hearing evidence in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case is moving closer to an indictment.

MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan began his show by reminding voters who Robert F. Kennedy Jr. is and why they shouldn't be fooled by the far-right Republicans desperate to promote him.

He showed a clip of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talking about the wealth discrepancy that continues to increase and a candidate "willing to condemn the consolidation of corporate power, the evils of environmental racism, and ever-increasing income inequality."

Speaking to former Donald Trump lawyer Michael Cohen for his Sunday podcast, former Rep. Joe Walsh (R-IL) discussed the difference between the dedicated Republican voters and the die-hard MAGA loyalists.

"There's a group of the base — there's a percentage of the base, 30, 35, 37 percent that is not pro-Trump, they're only Trump. Only Trump," said Walsh. "And these people, Michael, believe that the left has destroyed America. They believe the left is guided by the devil. They have told me this, and they believed that God picks, Michael, sometimes flawed dudes to be his warriors. They believe Trump is a flawed human being who God has anointed to destroy the left guided by the devil."

Speaking to CNNs Jim Acosta on Sunday, California Attorney General Rob Bonta revealed the state believes the flight of immigrants dropped off in Sacramento is part of another Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) scheme targeting Latinos.

DeSantis has previously paid to have individuals trick immigrants on the border into flying to a different location. The Florida-funded flights never remove Florida immigrants, but only those on the border with Texas.

Donald Trump's former national security advisor, John Bolton, told CNN that watching the former president over the years, it became evident that he was in over his head when it came to international affairs, particularly with dictators like Kim Jong Un.

He began by discussing the Chinese plans for flying close to a U.S. jet and a ship sailing close to a U.S. Navy destroyer. According to Bolton, it's China trying to intimidate the United States and the Taiwanese government.

Legal analyst Danny Cevallos walked through the possible charges that Donald Trump could face after a recording of him surfaced last week.

The discussion began with Julia Ainsley of the NBC News Investigative Unit saying, "An indictment, at this point, would set them up well to be able to end a trial before the 2024 election, at least give that 60 to 90-day buffer. You also hear about that the Justice Department takes into account, what they don't want to be interfering in an election. They could see this timeline as being very conducive to trying to wrap up this business before the election."

UPDATE:

The FAA reported that the flights were so quickly scrambled because of an unresponsive Cessna Citation.

An Iowa high school employee was placed on leave after he hurled racist abuse toward a student, according to a report.

A staff member at Dubuque Hempstead High School called a student the N-word during a confrontation in front of several other students in a hallway, and the incident was recorded on video, reported KWWL-TV.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough doesn't see Ron DeSantis connecting with voters by giving the same speech over and over on the campaign trail.

The "Morning Joe" host played video clips of DeSantis and Donald Trump arguing over who could "tame the deep state" quicker, and he said the Florida governor's political skills were vastly overrated.
