A hacker reportedly gained access to a file containing "damaging" testimony against President-elect Donald Trump's attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz.

The unidentified hacker accessed a secure link among lawyers whose clients testified against the Florida Republican, according to a knowledgable source who spoke to the New York Times.

Former MSNBC host Tiffany Cross lashed out at one-time colleagues Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough after they met with President-elect Donald Trump.

In a Tuesday post on the Threads social media platform, Cross addressed the hosts of MSNBC's Morning Joe after their trip to Mar-a-Lago.

The nomination of Matt Gaetz to be attorney general set off a firestorm on Capitol Hill, where the former congressman has made many enemies and fallen under investigation for alleged sex trafficking. Now some senators are demanding the release of a House Ethics Committee report on that inquiry.

The Florida Republican resigned last week as soon as Trump announced his nomination, which complicates the release of that panel's findings, but former ethics chairman Charlie Dent published an op-ed for MSNBC arguing that Gaetz's exit from Congress should not prevent the public from learning what lawmakers found.

President-elect Donald Trump has been generating considerable controversy with the cabinet picks for his incoming administration — picks that range from former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard (who is Trump's choice for U.S. intelligence director and has openly defended Russian President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine) to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (who has drawn widespread criticism in the medical field for his anti-vaxxer views and is Trump's pick to head the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services).

But the pick that is generating the most shockwaves of all is former Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who Trump would like to see replace Democrat Merrick Garland as U.S. attorney general.

MSNBC "Morning Joe" hosts Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski stunned and outraged many of their viewers this week by announcing they went to Mar-a-Lago for a personal sit-down with Donald Trump — painting it as an effort to get back in the loop and into a place where they have the access to hold him accountable.

But according to CNN's "Reliable Sources," this may not be the whole story.

The kind of man Stephen King would depict luring unsuspecting children into sewers is the kind President-elect Donald Trump would pick for the secretary of education, a political columnist argued Tuesday.

Salon writer Amanda Marcotte on Tuesday made the case that Trump is actively seeking out men accused of sexually assaulting women for top positions in his administration or, as she calls it, his "cast of dangerous clowns."

Business leaders are nervous about the economic impact of two of Donald Trump's signature campaign promises — and some of them are hoping they can talk him out of going through with them, according to an analyst.

The president-elect has vowed to impose stiff tariffs on imported goods and deport millions of migrants, which economists say would likely increase inflation. MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire told "Morning Joe" that Wall Street is worried.

President-elect Donald Trump is gambling with the support of a crucial voting bloc who helped him secure his 2024 Election Day victory — and Democrats could be the winners, a new political analysis contends.

Trump won in large part thanks to women voters who ignored qualms and voted for the candidate they felt more likely to address their concerns about immigration and inflation, CNN analyst Ronald Brownstein wrote Tuesday.

Veteran Democratic strategist James Carville was confident that Vice President Kamala Harris would win the United States' 2024 presidential election; instead, President-elect Donald Trump enjoyed a decisive victory.

Carville, during the election, warned that a second Trump Administration would be full of extremists if he won. And the Democratic strategist, in a scathing video rant, slams Trump's picks as a "Pandora's box" of horrors — especially former Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, Trump's choice for U.S. attorney general, and former Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who is Trump's selection for intelligence director and has drawn widespread criticism for expressing views sympathetic to Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Donald Trump has demanded that Republican senators step aside and allow his controversial Cabinet nominees to waltz into their positions unimpeded — but they're privately bristling at the challenge to their authority, according to a new report.

The president-elect wants both houses of Congress to call themselves into recess so he can appoint his Cabinet without confirmation hearings, but Axios correspondent Hans Nichols reported that GOP senators are not exactly eager to give up their advise-and-consent role — especially in the case of attorney general nominee Matt Gaetz.

The Democratic chairman of the Senate Finance Committee said Monday that GOP plans to target Medicaid and federal nutrition assistance to help offset the huge cost of their tax agenda encapsulates the economic agenda of the incoming Republican trifecta led by President-elect Donald Trump, who postured as a working-class champion during the 2024 race.

"You couldn't come up with a better distillation of the real Trump agenda than paying for tax breaks for the rich by gutting Medicaid and increasing child hunger," Sen. Ron Wyden (D-Ore.) said in a statement after a Washington Postreport detailed internal Republican discussions on a possible Medicaid work requirement, cuts to the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other potential changes to the programs that provide health insurance and food aid to tens of millions of Americans.

Underneath the big head of hair, former Rep. Matt Gaetz has a "big brain" and is ready to become a "Hammer of Justice," the richest man in the world said on his social media site about 2 a.m.

President-elect Donald Trump's billionaire buddy Elon Musk threw whole-hearted support early Tuesday morning behind his choice for attorney general, despite Gaetz's embroilment in an Ethics probe into accusations he sexually assaulted a minor.

Donald Trump has vowed to begin his mass deportations program on his first day in office, and confirmed early Monday morning he plans to declare a "national emergency" and use "military assets" to achieve his goal of removing "millions" of undocumented immigrants from the United States.

“On day one, I will launch the largest deportation program in American history to get the criminals out,” Trump told supporters during his infamous Madison Square Garden rally last month.
