JustSecurity reporter Adam Klasfeld reported Monday that four potential brokers said they couldn't find anyone to take Donald Trump up on a bid to offer his real estate empire as collateral for a nearly $500 million bond, citing a deposition from the former president's lawyer Alan Garten.

There were also about 30-plus "surety companies he says Trump Org. unsuccessfully approached," Klasfeld added on social media.

"The View" began Monday with a discussion of Donald Trump's speech in Ohio on Saturday in which he celebrated the Jan. 6 rioters with a salute and called them "hostages." It was also the speech in which Trump called migrants "animals."

Both Republicans on the panel were quick to talk about the seriousness of Trump's comments and the fear that they will be overshadowed by the debate over his "bloodbath" comment.

CNN political panelist Alice Stewart attempted to explain away Donald Trump describing some migrants as "animals," but Democrat Maria Cardona and CNN host Jim Acosta weren't having it.

Speaking Monday morning, Stewart began by spinning Trump's threats of a "bloodbath" as being about the economic fate of the automobile industry rather than a call for violence.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough condemned Donald Trump for celebrating jailed Jan. 6 rioters as patriots and hostages.

At a campaign rally in Dayton, Ohio, the former president saluted the J6 Prison Choir's alternate rendition of the national anthem, calling them "unbelievable patriots," and pledged to help those "hostages" on his first day in office, and both the "Morning Joe" host and co-host Mika Brzezinski called his comments "twisted."

"The View" co-host Joy Behar thinks she has a winning campaign slogan for President Joe Biden: "Vote for me — I'm the only one who's not nuts."

Her creative idea for a catchy lawn sign came amid a discussion about "spoiler" candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who's running as an independent against Biden and the GOP's presumptive nominee Donald Trump.

Federal judge Aileen Cannon finally ran into an argument from Donald Trump's lawyers she found "ridiculous," according to a very relieved legal expert.

The U.S. District Court judge rejected Trump's bid to throw out his classified documents case and appeared to be skeptical of a separate effort to strike down the Espionage Act statute that supports much of the case against him, but MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin told "Morning Joe" that the ruling contained some warning signs.

Legal analyst Neal Katyal explained that he considers himself to be an excellent attorney — but even he wasn't sure he could win Donald Trump's classified documents case.

Katyal, the former acting solicitor general for Barack Obama's administration, spoke to MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace Thursday after Trump spent the day in a Florida courtroom. Wallace could not understand why the case hadn't moved forward — and why special counsel Jack Smith hadn't officially complained about Judge Aileen Cannon's delays.

A core argument in Donald Trump's effort to have his classified case dismissed was blown up by a commentator Thursday, moments after the former president's request was denied.

One of the claims Donald Trump's lawyers are trying to make is that a previous case involving Bill Clinton and audio tapes he kept in a sock drawer proves that Trump’s actions were legally sound.

As Donald Trump's lawyers and Jack Smith argued Thursday about when the former president will face trial in the classified documents case, an onlooker expressed skepticism.

"This case is never getting to trial before the election," NBC News reporter Ken Dilanian said.

Former Obama White House ethics czar Norm Eisen was disgusted by former President Donald Trump's latest claims to protect himself from being held accountable for taking documents from the White House to his Mar-a-Lago resort and then refusing to turn them over when given a lawful subpoena for their return.

Speaking to CNN, Eisen explained that Judge Aileen Cannon "has had a history of really outrageous partiality to Donald Trump."

Former President Donald Trump is in a Florida courtroom Thursday as he continues to get criminal charges involving retaining top-secret government documents dismissed.

Trump doesn't deny that he was in possession of the documents — in fact, he has doubled down on the accusations that he took them. But he defends himself by saying that they were "mine." It has been a point of contention between Trump and his lawyers.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough brutally mocked Donald Trump for claiming that no president had ever been treated worse than him.

The ex-president appeared Wednesday on Newsmax for an interview with host Greg Kelly, who obsequiously asked if anyone had ever endured such travails, and Trump allowed that Andrew Jackson and perhaps Abraham Lincoln had possibly been treated almost as poorly – and the "Morning Joe" host mocked his misery.
