In the stack of transcripts of the testimony that witnesses gave to the House Select Committee was a slew of allies to Donald Trump who suddenly couldn't "recall" a number of things. When Cassidy Hutchinson testified about her experience working as an aide to former chief of staff Mark Meadows, she revealed that her Trump-funded lawyer pushed her to say she couldn't recall things, even if she could. Hutchinson has since handed over all information she has to the DOJ.

It has prompted many to question whether they couldn't recall out of convenience or whether it was a legitimate claim.

New York Times reporter David Fahrenthold has spent the better part of the past six years following the financial life of former President Donald Trump, particularly when it comes to his business. Trump has claimed for decades that he's a billionaire.

A big part of the problem is that the IRS isn't fully funded and they don't have the resources to go after wealthy people who are willing to spend years in court fighting against tax problems. So many of the wealthy in America are going unchecked while poor families are facing off against the IRS.

Lisa Rubin, the legal analyst for Rachel Maddow, explained that if you're reading the transcripts of interviews from the House Select Committee investigating the Jan. 6 attack on Congress you might notice huge blocks of white space. There are a few reasons for that.

While many are looking at the text of what's in the transcripts, Rubin is homing in on what isn't seen.

Chris Licht's leadership at CNN has been a source of complaints from viewers and those who have been the victim of his mass layoffs. But the biggest victim came on New Year's Eve, when CNN is normally the home of absolute hilarity, joy, silliness and fun. Instead, Licht decided that the hosts couldn't loosen things up by drinking.

Twitter viewers were uninspired, but it was actor John Stamos who made it clear that even he noticed the hosts were much better when they were drinking on past shows. Generally co-hosts of Cooper's find different ways to make him laugh, which can, at times, sound like a little girl's giggle.

Donald Trump invited the media for a moment he called "media availability" at Mar-a-Lago ahead of the country club's annual New Year's Eve celebration. When the time came, however, Trump spoke for fewer than five minutes and not one of the cable news stations covered it, including allies like Newsmax and Fox.

It was reminiscent of Trump's "big announcement" that ended up being a ploy for his own personal trading cards he was selling for $99.

The end of 2022 was ushered in with Russian bombs falling all over Kyiv as Ukrainians continued to fight off the invasion.

With the pops and booms echoing through the streets, Ukrainians came to their windows to sing their national anthem, Ukrainian reporter Maria Romanenko posted on Twitter in a video. Luliia Mendel, former spokesperson to President Volodymyr Zelensky said earlier on Saturday that as the city came under attack the air defense system appeared to be working.

Pillow magnate Mike Lindell is among those going after Republican Party for the chairmanship after it experienced a puddle over what they thought was going to be a red wave.

Lawyer and activist Ron Filipkowski posted the video of Lindell saying that he'd done "research" into the Republican Party's finances and that he thinks he's discovered money laundering. Lindell is the same man who maintains that Donald Trump won the 2020 election and every few months he proclaims that he's about to have the evidence necessary to prove the election was stolen only to fail to deliver again. In 2021 alone, Lindell spent $25 million pushing his conspiracies. He's now facing a $1.3 billion lawsuit by Dominion Voting Systems for spreading conspiracy theories about the company.

President Donald Trump's taxes were revealed this week after exhaustive efforts by the House Way and Means Committee and ultimately revealed to the public.

Speaking to CNN about it on Saturday, Trump biographer David Cay Johnston, who is among those who have followed Trump's finances for decades, explained that tax experts see concerns in the new information.

As the end of 2022 approaches, the Good Liars listed off some of their more memorable conversations with supporters of former President Donald Trump.

Speaking to MSNBC on Saturday, Davram Stiefler and Jason Selvig explained that the lies so frequently believed by Trump supporters are often so easily disproven, but they continue to believe the lies, even after acknowledging the truth. The comments from the men are verified by scientific studies as well, which showed that supporters of the former president's are more likely to believe fake news.

Former President Donald Trump has spent years blasting politicians who are linked to China, particularly when it comes to Joe Biden. It turns out, however, that Trump was the one who had business dealings the whole time in the Communist country.

Among the details released in Trump's taxes this week was that the former president had a bank account in China and the reason isn't clear.

A new batch of transcripts released by the House select committee could give the Department of Justice a reason to turn their focus on Donald Trump Jr. and his fiancée Kimberly Guilfoyle.

The legislative panel released transcripts of the couple's interviews that showed them refusing to answer questions about their possible contacts with "Stop the Steal" organizer Ali Alexander and members of the Proud Boys and Oath Keepers ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection, but Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the DOJ had the authority to dig deeper.

A newly elected Democratic lawmaker broke down a potentially illegal scheme George Santos and his Republican backers used to flip a House seat in New York.

The New York Republican has admitted to fabricating his background during the campaign, and fellow congressman-elect Dan Goldman told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Santos was emblematic of the GOP's "win-at-all-costs" view of election integrity.

The trouble could just be starting for congressman-elect George Santos, according to a former top House Republican aide.

Santos admits to fabricating major aspects of his background, including his education, work history and religious faith, and MSNBC political analyst Brendan Buck, who served as an aide to former GOP House speakers John Boehner and Paul Ryan, told "Morning Joe" what challenges the newly elected representative might expect to face.
