Former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman and federal prosecutor Renato Mariotti agreed that the settlement with Dominion Voting Systems was terrible news for Fox Corp.

MSNBC host Alicia Menendez asked Mariotti how that number was the one that was agreed upon. He explained that he was surprised by it, and that it's a significant number, but there is a chance Dominion was factoring in the cash they thought they'd get from the jury.

After announcing a settlement between Dominion Voting Systems and Fox Corp., analysts on MSNBC argued over whether the outcome would be such that it would serve as a deterrent to the conservative network.

New York Times reporter Nick Confessore said that Fox News would continue to push a pro-Trump narrative despite the costly lawsuit.

Former FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann said Tuesday that a special master investigation into Fox News could likely continue despite the settlement between Dominion Voting Systems and the conservative network.

Fox was found to have withheld evidence in the case that should have been part of the discovery process.

A judge handed Dominion Voting Systems an early win in its defamation case against Fox Corporation, making the media company's defense much more difficult, an expert said.

Judge Eric Davis ruled and will instruct the jury that all of Fox News broadcasters' statements about Donald Trump's election loss were false, and Dominion's lawyers will present those during their opening statements and throughout the trial. Legal expert Harry Litman told MSNBC that would make the other element of Dominion's defamation case -- needing to prove that the statements were made actual malice -- substantially easier to prove.

Supreme Court justice Clarence Thomas exposed himself as a fraud by accepting lavish gifts from an ultra-wealthy benefactor without properly reporting them, according to Washington Post columnist Eugene Robinson.

The arch-conservative justice failed to report international travel on private jets and yachts and other gifts, including housing for his elderly mother that was provided to him by billionaire Harlan Crow, and Robinson told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Thomas' explanations for his failure to disclose that largesse was a bad joke.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) was in New York on Monday, claiming that he sought to get to the bottom of violent crime in New York City. However, New York isn't the place with the highest violent crime in the U.S. — it's one of just two counties in America where the district attorney is conducting an investigation that could cost Donald Trump a lot in the end.

Speaking to MSNBC's Joy Reid, former Trump lawyer Michael Cohen explained that when Jordan announced his so-called "weaponization in government" panel, he was hopeful he would see a reckoning for some of the unethical and possibly even illegal things that happened to him at the hands of Trump's Justice Department. Instead, Cohen said, it's been a joke.

A Republican witness exploded during a House Judiciary Committee hearing on violent crime in Manhattan.

Madeline Brame told the panel convened in New York City that district attorney Alvin Bragg's office was wasting taxpayer money on investigating Donald Trump instead of prosecuting crimes like her son's murder, although two of Hason Correa's killers were later convicted and were serving life sentences.

Protesters tried on Monday to disrupt a House Judiciary Committee hearing on violent crime in New York City.

The demonstrators packed into a hallway outside the hearing room with signs calling to indict committee chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH), who they called a "traitor," reported Punchbowl News correspondent Mica Soellner.

Republicans are pushing increasingly extreme positions on guns and abortion, and many conservatives are growing alarmed by the tragic outcomes.

A majority of U.S. states allow concealed carry without a permit and many GOP-led states are moving to restrict or ban abortions, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said he's heard from a number of Republicans who are concerned about the epidemic of gun violence and medical emergencies that have resulted.

The Dominion Voting Systems case against Fox is due to begin this week, and it's already been delayed to Tuesday instead of starting on Monday. It's unclear why, as the judge left a short message without much information.

Fox is using the excuse that the Supreme Court case New York Times Company v. Sullivan, also known as "the Sullivan ruling," protects them from litigation. MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan explained that it made cases like this very difficult to try and win.

MSNBC's Mehdi Hasan thinks the so-called "liberal media" has learned nothing from former PresidentDonald Trump's non-stop lies.

Sunday evening, the BBC had 20 minutes to prepare for an interview with Elon Musk, and the MSNBC reporters explained that the interviewer shouldn't have done it if he wasn't prepared. They argue it was a flop. A few weeks ago, Lesley Stahl was similarly criticized for being unwilling to fight back against lies told by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) during her "60 Minutes" interview.

Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) released a kind of attack ad against former President Donald Trump for attacking him at a time when he's facing off against a number of state and local prosecutors for legal problems.

While conservative Alice Stewart promoted the ad calling it rational, Democratic strategist Maria Cardona characterized it as a little whiny.

For a year, members of the Washington, D.C. community have been taunting the Russian Embassy on Wisconsin Ave.

At first, it was some projections onto the building, which they tried to block out with their own spotlights. It turned into a light show of cat and mouse for the world to see, leading to ridicule online of the embassy.
