"The View's" co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin, trashed politicians desperate to be Donald Trump's vice presidential running mate Monday, saying they're compromising everything and lying about their background.

At the top of the show Monday, the hosts brought up the next installment of South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem's disastrous unveiling of her new book. Not only did she confess to shooting a puppy and a goat, she also lied about meeting Kim Jong Un and canceling a meeting with French President Emanuel Macron. In a statement, Macron's office said it never happened.

Hope Hicks delivered show-stopping testimony last week against Donald Trump during his hush money trial, according to CNN's John Berman.

The former president's longtime aide told the jury that Trump's campaign was so concerned about the "Access Hollywood" tape, which showed him bragging about molesting women, that he and attorney Michael Cohen hatched a scheme to pay off two of his mistresses to ensure their silence before the election, and Berman said she helped prove one key element of the case.

Republicans are in a race to the bottom as they try to attract Donald Trump's attention as he considers his choice for running mate, according to MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire.

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem has been doubling down on her decision to execute a puppy decades ago for misbehaving, and Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) refused to say over the weekend whether he would accept losing election results for Trump, and Lemire told "Morning Joe" that vice presidential hopefuls would continue racking up negative headlines as they jostle for a spot on the GOP ticket.

Prosecutors are expected to call Donald Trump's former White House "gatekeeper" to testify against him in his hush money trial, and MSNBC's Lisa Rubin explained the key evidence she could deliver.

The former president's longtime aide Hope Hicks testified last week about the Trump team's concern about the "Access Hollywood" tape and its impact on his 2016 election chances, and she told the jury about conversations she had afterward with Trump and his then-lawyer Michael Cohen about his affairs with adult film actress Stormy Daniels and Playboy model Karen McDougal.

Donald Trump's former press secretary and top adviser Hope Hicks was likely the final witness on Friday as the 11th day of the Manhattan criminal trial continues.

Trump is on trial for 34 counts, which allege he falsified business records to cover up hush money he sent to adult movie star Stormy Daniels to silence her claims she'd had an affair with him. Hicks gave the court a possible motive Trump had for the payment, legal analysts explained.

Donald Trump's attorneys appeared to be following their client's orders to attack witnesses and even jurors in his hush money trial, but a legal expert showed how that strategy was already backfiring.

The former president has reportedly targeted his legal team with his "wrath" for what he believes has been an insufficient defense in his hush money trial, and Palm Beach County state attorney Dave Aronberg explained to MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that their attacks may have satisfied Trump but would probably not help his case.

Both jurors and voters have been hearing details about the "unseemly" world of tabloid publications as part of Donald Trump's hush money trial, but a legal expert explained that prosecutors must show the former president was a willing participant in those "tawdry" schemes.

The quadruple-indicted ex-president has been charged with falsifying business records to illegally conceal his hush money payments to adult film actress Stormy Daniels, and panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" reacted to her attorney's testimony that exposed negotiations around celebrity scandals that walked right up to the line of extortion.

Donald Trump's attorneys introduced a conspiracy theory during cross exam that could help them sow seeds of mistrust inside and outside the courtroom.

Defense attorney Emil Bove asked Doug Daus, a records custodian for the Manhattan district attorney's office, whether data he extracted from two cell phones belonging to Michael Cohen could have been manipulated or deleted by the FBI, and Rubin told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that was intended to give Trump and his allies another line of attack on the trial itself.

A former White House staffer said Thursday that Donald Trump's family and allies might have started accompanying him to court in an effort to keep him under control.

Speaking to MSNBC, deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews said that Trump is likely "lashing out" at his lawyers and other aides in his hush money trial because he has little personal support with him in court.
