MSNBC's Joe Scarborough gloated over the failure of special counsel John Durham's years-long investigation into the federal probe into Donald Trump's ties to Russia.

Lawsuit against Giuliani could also reveal money laundering, Ukraine meddling and Trump's election fraud: accuser

A new lawsuit was filed Monday against Rudy Giuliani alleging wage theft, sexual harassment, money laundering, selling of pardons, and a number of other accusations by former staffer Noelle Dunphy. Giuliani responded by saying that she had never worked for him.

"Now the lawsuit, to be clear, it's about Rudolph Giuliani as described, luring this woman, who he finds attractive into working for him, promising her to pay her a million dollars a year, which he can't pay her right now because he's trying to hide money from his wife while he's in divorce proceedings," described MSNBC host Lawrence O'Donnell during his Monday evening show. "And if she just waits until the divorce is over, which is way more than the year in the story that is told, then she will be paid retroactively all the money that she's owed."

CIA pushes video to recruit Russians as spies

The push to recruit spies in the rivalry between Russia and the United States goes both ways. According to a new CNN report, the Central Intelligence Agency is out with a new Russian-language recruitment video to get Russians to turn secret agent against Vladimir Putin's regime — complete with dramatic production values.

"The push includes a new CIA channel on Telegram, the social media network that is a highly popular source of unfiltered news in Russia. The CIA first posted the video on Telegram, which ends with instructions on how to get in touch with the CIA anonymously and securely. The video is also being posted to its other social media platforms, including YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and Facebook," reported Alex Marquardt. "CIA officials involved in the project said that Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has created a historic opening 'to have Russians come to us and deliver information the United States needs.' It also comes after a previous recruitment drive following the launch of the invasion that the officials said has been successful, with 'contact coming in.'"
