Legal expert and former Justice Department prosecutor Andrew Weissmann pointed to a document in Donald Trump's fraud trial that could sink him in the 2020 federal election case.

Weissmann was watching the fraud case in New York on Wednesday when he saw that Donald Trump Jr. was asked about the actions around the Donald J. Trump Revocable Trust. While Don. Jr. said that he didn't do much and didn't know much, one thing he did reveal is that in Jan. 15, 2021, Trump Sr. took over the trust immediately after leaving the White House. Up until that point, CFO Allen Weisselberg and Don Jr. were in charge of the trust.

One of the Trump Organization's executive vice presidents and former President Donald Trump's son, Donald Trump Jr., took the stand in the fraud case in New York on Wednesday afternoon.

It was the first time Trump Jr. had stepped foot in the courtroom, though his brother Eric has been present for much of the proceedings and has been largely polite to others present, even shaking hands with Attorney General Letitia James who brought the lawsuit against his family's business, said MSNBC's senior legal correspondent, Laura Jarrett.

Donald Trump's two adult sons are scheduled to testify in the $250 million civil fraud trial, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski cringed at the prospect of his namesake son taking the stand.

Both men are executive vice presidents for the Trump Organization, but the "Morning Joe" co-hosts expressed concern about Donald Trump Jr.'s erratic behavior in video rants he posts online attacking his father's enemies.

Chris Christie says "it's over" for Donald Trump and he knows he'll be convicted, and that's why he's struggling to remember Joe Biden's name and forgetting which city he's visiting.

The former New Jersey governor and 2024 Republican presidential candidate said the stress of his legal problems has been weighing heavily on Trump, and he told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Mark Meadows, in particular, poses a substantial threat to the ex-president's future now that he reached an immunity deal with special counsel Jack Smith.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough hammered new House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) for tying Israel aid to spending cuts for the IRS in a new spending bill.

House Republicans released a new spending bill Monday that includes $14.3 billion in emergency aid for Israel offset by cuts to IRS funding from the Inflation Reduction Act, and the "Morning Joe" host bashed Johnson for jeopardizing Israel's security to help wealthy tax cheats evade consequences.

"Late Night" show host Seth Meyers had a field day skewering Donald Trump for various senior moments and especially for stepping into it on-stage when he botched Sioux Falls, South Dakota for Sioux City, Iowa — where he was actually stumping.

"A very big hello to a place where we've done very well... Sioux Falls," the 45th president said during a rally speech at the Orpheum Theatre on Sunday. "Thank you very much, Sioux Falls."

Former President Donald Trump has spent the better part of the past few years claiming that President Joe Biden is in some sort of cognitive decline and that he's too old to be president. Trump is just a few years younger than Biden.

But now an MSNBC panel agreed it may have been a projection the whole time.

Former President Donald Trump will see his daughter Ivanka take the stand to testify in the New York civil fraud trial next week, after his two adult sons. Ms. Trump failed to get exempted from being subpoenaed.

Trump biographer Tim O'Brien explained just how devastating this will be for the former president on Monday's edition of MSNBC's "The ReidOut."

Former President Donald Trump's son Eric has already been deposed ahead of testifying in the civil fraud case against the Trumps in New York State. But the answers he gave are not going to satisfy anyone, argued New York Times reporter Susanne Craig on Monday's edition of MSNBC's "Deadline: White House."

This comes after Eric, who has done most of the actual work heading up the Trump Organization and who, along with his father and brother, stands to face millions in fines and the dissolution of his business, tried to downplay his actual role in the financial aspects of the company.

They should keep quiet.

That's the unsolicited advice offered up by former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner for former President Donald Trump's adult children and heirs when they are brought into New York to testify in his $250 million civil fraud case next week.

Former senior prosecutor at the Justice Department and former FBI general counsel Andrew Weissmann pointed to Donald Trump's appeal of the gag order in the 2020 election case, calling it "chilling."

The gag order is under appeal, and Judge Tanya Chutkan had paused it while deciding whether or not it would be fully paused pending appeal. In a filing last week, special counsel Jack Smith explained that pausing the gag order is a dangerous move as he already went on a rant against his former chief of staff, Mark Meadows. It comes at a time when Meadows was reportedly given immunity in the same case.
