Ex-White House staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin explained what she claims is the real reason so many Republicans won't leave Donald Trump despite his losing track record — they're making money.

Chatting with her co-hosts of "The View" on Tuesday, the former Trump administration aide said there are too many people making too much cash off of the supporters of Trump.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough warned that Donald Trump was explicitly running for president on the campaign promise to end American democracy.

The "Morning Joe" host went through a checklist of all the ways Trump meets the definition of a fascist, and he said the former president had learned what protected democracy from his worst impulses during his first term and intended to rip out those guardrails if he returns to the White House.

Former President Donald Trump's lawyer seems to think only the broadest reading of First Amendment matters above all other laws when it comes to instituting gag orders against his client.

Former Acting U.S. Solicitor General Neal Katyal, in an appearance on MSNBC's "The Last Word" with Lawrence O'Donnell, laid into the lawyer representing the GOP frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race on his performance that seemed to argue that the First Amendment blocked the government from imposing any restrictions on a criminal defendant ahead of their trial.

Donald Trump has sent every possible warning that he intends to rule as a fascist autocrat, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said it's long past time to cover his presidential campaign around that startling fact.

The New York Times published an article highlighting Trump's fascist tendencies, and the "Morning Joe" host went through a checklist of the defining characteristics of fascism.

The reason that Donald Trump's lawyer was refusing to answer the questions being asked of him in court on Monday was likely because he knew there was no way he was going to win, three legal experts told MSNBC on Monday evening.

Before the Washington, D.C. Court of Appeals, Trump's lawyer, John Sauer, repeatedly refused to answer the hypothetical questions being posed to him. Ultimately, this led Judge Cornelia Pillard to snap at him.

Former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson warned MSNBC anchor and former White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki on Monday evening that former President Donald Trump is fully aware of the violence he is encouraging with his words — and will continue stoking it if he keeps getting the chance.

"I wanted to talk to you about Trump's words," said Psaki. "That was essentially their argument. Jan. 6 was a clear example of people following — does he recognize the impact of his word?"

Cassidy Hutchinson, the former aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, told MSNBC's Jen Psaki that former Attorney General Bill Barr needs to think again when it comes to who he plans to vote for in 2024.

A Washington Post report was published Monday revealing some male Republican staffers of former President Donald Trump were trepidatious about coming forward against the ex-president because they didn't want to be labeled a Democrat.

If they've seen the light and want to stop Trump 2.0, they need to "roll up their sleeves" and start speaking out.

Former Republican strategist and Bullwark writer Tim Miller is taking to task some of the folks who once paid allegiance to Donald Trump and have since determined he poses a threat to the presidency and the country.

Former President Donald Trump's one-time White House lawyer, Ty Cobb, reiterated to CNN's Erin Burnett on Monday that if the gag order issued by Judge Tanya Chutkan in the 2020 election interference case is reinstated by the D.C. Appeals Court, the former president's "narcissism" could push him over the line and land him in jail.

This came after a day of oral argument about reinstating the order, where a three-judge panel appeared broadly skeptical of Trump's lawyer.

Pillow magnate Mike Lindell said that he had been vindicated after a Georgia ruling noted that the plaintiffs concerned about election security weren't conspiracy theorists and the trial could move forward.

At issue was an opinion by a judge appointed by former President Barack Obama, who explained that there was reason to believe that there were security issues related to voting machines. Part of her conclusion was based on the Coffee County incident in which Republicans got into the building holding the machines, broke into them, and stole data.

Former House Select Committee member Rep. Zoe Lofgren (D-CA) tore into the Republicans spreading a fresh round of conspiracy theories about the Capitol attack on MSNBC Monday, following the move by House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) to release the entirety of the Capitol security footage of the incident.

In particular, Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) promoted the idea that Kevin Lyons, a rioter sentenced to four years in prison for assaulting police, was an FBI plant because he could supposedly be seen flashing a police badge at agents. The object in his hand was actually a vape pen, and many other far-right figures who pushed the claim later scrambled to delete it — but Lee still has not.

There is little chance of Donald Trump winning his appeal of the gag order in the 2020 election case, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner contends. But the gag order could be more narrowly designed.

The heated debate over the Republican candidate's right to free speech versus his ability to endanger courtroom officials via social media screeds stretched well beyond the anticipated 40 minutes Kirschner estimated it would take, he told MSNBC's Alicia Menendez on Monday.
