MSNBC's Joe Scarborough predicted that Republicans would pay a political price for blocking a border security deal that gives them almost everything they've wanted.

The bipartisan bill appears on track to fail in the Senate, while House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) has declared it dead on arrival in the lower chamber, and the "Morning Joe" host called them out for following Donald Trump's orders to block the bill so he could run on border security as a campaign issue.

Two legal experts this week said that actions by special counsel Jack Smith's office have exposed the incompetence of one of the lawyers representing a Trump codefendant in the Mar-a-Lago documents case.

At one point, the attorney representing co-defendant Carlos de Oliveira confessed that, over the course of the past several months, he's had serious trouble viewing the exhibits, including the videos from Mar-a-Lago's security cameras, because he doesn't own a computer.

Former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farrah Griffin said during an appearance on CNN's "The Source" with Kaitlan Collins on Monday that getting convicted of a felony would do serious damage to former President Donald Trump's 2024 campaign.

"What's interesting to me is... the number of Republicans that wouldn't support Trump if he was convicted is astonishingly high," she said. "It ends up being about a third of the Republican Party who said they couldn't vote for a convicted felon.

Seth Meyers tried to decipher Donald Trump's social media pulse-taking of the public to determine whether or not he resembles the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, or the Batman super-villain "Two-Face."

“For so many years, people have been saying that Elvis and I look alike," the 45th president wrote on TruthSocial over the weekend. "Now this pic has been going all over the place. What do you think?”

President Joe Biden threw a little shade Monday at the Republican frontrunner ousted from the White House four years ago.

Biden cracked a smile and chuckled when he heard former President Donald Trump wanted to debate him “immediately,” video posted to X by The Recount shows.

A new document from special counsel Jack Smith's legal team shows one of former President Donald Trump's lawyers once claimed he didn't own a computer, Politico reporter Betsy Woodruff Swan said.

Swan appeared on MSNBC Monday to discuss the Friday filing in Smith's confidential documents case filed against Trump in Florida's federal court.

Rep. Mark Green (R-TN) was busted by his colleague Rep. Joe Neguse (D-CO) as he tried to defend the impeachment process against President Joe Biden — using his own words from five years ago when the shoe was on the other foot.

"Chairman Green, I have an editorial here that I want to enter into the record," said Neguse. "The title is, 'Americans are the victims of the impeachment inquiry.' It's an opinion piece. The subtitle is, 'A lot of bipartisan legislation that enjoys widespread support sits gathering dust while Congress focuses on the impeachment inquiry.' I assume you disagree with this?"

The state decisions barring former President Donald Trump from the ballot under the Insurrection Clause of the 14th Amendment are a severe problem for the Supreme Court, said conservative commentator Charlie Sykes on MSNBC Monday.

But ultimately, he said, Chief Justice John Roberts and much of the rest of the court will try to find a way out that doesn't require them to uphold those decisions.

Special counsel Jack Smith is going further than he has before in accusing former President Donald Trump and his attorneys of being "conspiracy theorists" in their arguments against the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, Politico reporter Betsy Woodruff Swan told MSNBC's Ali Velshi on Monday.

This comes as Smith is attempting to stave off a sweeping discovery request in that case that goes far beyond what an ordinary criminal defendant would, asking for huge troves of federal communications in search of evidence that the charges for stealing and hoarding national defense information were fabricated.

Rep. Nancy Mace received a brutal fact check Monday on Fox News after slamming a bipartisan border protection bill she admitted she hadn’t finished reading.

“This bill keeps the border wide open,” Mace said. “The measures that we feel are extremely undesirable, that keep our border open, that water down the asylum bill, it’s not good for the country.”

Sen. James Lankford (R-OK) cleared up some misconceptions about border security during Donald Trump's presidency.

The Oklahoma Republican has been leading negotiations on a bipartisan Senate border agreement that House speaker Mike Johnson has promised to kill if it passes the upper chamber, and Lankford said President Joe Biden should be doing more to stop the flood of migrants crossing the border – but he said Trump's record wasn't much better.

One of the defenses Donald Trump's attorneys have offered in the U.S. Supreme Court appeal of a Colorado decision could "topple" the authority of state courts, according to a legal expert.

The Colorado Supreme Court ruled in December that the former president should be ineligible from holding office under the U.S. Constitution's insurrection clause, and MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin said one of Trump's arguments could undermine the entire system of appeals.

CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen, who also served as one of the impeachment lawyers for House Democrats and White House ethics czar, told the network Sunday that he firmly believes Donald Trump will be sent to prison.

Eisen called the recent decision from Judge Tanya Chutkin to abandon her March 4 trial date pending the appeal from the Washington, D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals a "small win" for Trump. The ex-president has worked to delay as many of his trials as possible. The D.C. appeal will likely go to the U.S. Supreme Court after the appeals court rules on it.
