A new response filed by Jack Smith in the classified documents case was made public late Tuesday and, according to legal analysts, the special counsel is deploying creative retorts in his reply to the judge.

Former federal prosecutor Kristy Greenberg told MSNBC on Wednesday that Smith had no choice but to call out the judge for "failing a law school exam" in her handling of the classified information case. Smith knocked Judge Aileen Cannon for her directions for jury instructions, pointing out that they are based on "a fundamentally flawed legal premise."

Harry Segal, clinical psychologist and senior lecturer in the Psychology Department at Cornell University, thinks Donald Trump may be exhibiting behavior consistent with "sundowning."

The term is defined by the Mayo Clinic as "a state of confusion that occurs in the late afternoon and lasts into the night." Segal explained that it's a form of dementia.

Legal experts gathered on MSNBC Tuesday afternoon after New York Judge Juan Merchan expanded his gag order to stop Donald Trump from attacking family members of jurors, witnesses and court officers.

Former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance called the move the most significant investment from a judge thus far in curbing Trump's behavior.

The co-hosts of "The View" trashed Republicans after outrage over a theory that President Joe Biden intentionally scheduled the Transgender Day of Awareness on Easter.

The trans holiday always falls on March 31. Easter is a different day each year because the Christian holiday depends on the moon cycle.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg's demand for a stricter gag order against former President Donald Trump spurred legal experts Monday to demand real consequences.

Speaking to MSNBC on Monday, legal analyst Lisa Rubin raised concerns about Trump's social media attacks against Justice Juan Merchan's daughter and court motions that might delay the upcoming hush money trial.

Former Donald Trump adviser Hope Hicks will testify in his New York election interference case involving the alleged hush money given to Stormy Daniels, reports show.

The court proceeding is set to begin jury selection on April 15, with Hick's name added to a list of witnesses on Monday. Trump's one-time lawyer Michael Cohen is also reportedly among the witnesses called.

"The View" began April by mocking the Republican Party for opening the door to a conversation about Donald Trump's most deadly mistakes.

Republicans have been promoting a new campaign slogan asking whether people were better off now than they were four years ago, taking them back to the first few months of the COVID-19 pandemic that shut down countries, tanked economies and killed tens of thousands.

Former President Donald Trump demanded that his soon-to-start hush money trial be postponed indefinitely Monday, claiming he can't get a fair trial because of "pre-trial publicity."

The motion left experts laughing.

President Joe Biden was joined by two of his Democratic predecessors for a fundraiser that raked in more than $26 million, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough pointed out that Donald Trump would never be able to put together that sort of public display of support.

Former presidents Barack Obama and Bill Clinton joined Biden at the star-studded event moderated by late night host Stephen Colbert in New York City, and The Atlantic's Mark Leibowitz told the "Morning Joe" host that he was struck by that show of unity around the president.

Donald Trump notoriously cheats at golf, and panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" mocked his skullduggery on the links as emblematic of all of his other moral failings.

The former president boasted over the weekend that he’d “WON BOTH” the Club Championship Trophy and Senior Club Championship Trophy at the Trump International Golf Club in West Palm Beach, which drew a sarcastic "Congratulations, Donald" from President Joe Biden, and Joe Scarborough laughed about a mutual friend who revealed the secret to his so-called success.

Donald Trump tested the boundaries of a gag order imposed by a New York judge ahead of his hush money trial, and George Conway said he doesn't think the former president can avoid jail.

The ex-president falsely claimed that judge Juan Merchan's daughter posted a photo on social media showing Trump behind bars, although that account was fake and not linked to her, and Conway told "Morning Joe" that Trump could not help himself from violating rules imposed on him.

Polls are showing president Joe Biden in a weaker position than he was at the start of the 2020 general election, and MSNBC's Claire McCaskill warned that Donald Trump would exploit those findings to stoke violence and chaos.

Biden consistently led Trump in national and swing states at this point four years ago, and while Democrats are confident the ex-president's criminal cases and legal bills will sap some of his strength by November, McCaskill told "Morning Joe" that she doesn't believe the polling tells the whole story.
