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.

Donald Trump released a one-page document from the physician he's used since leaving office Monday — in which a glowing review of the former president's health and wellness is given.

The man who prides himself on eating fast food has reportedly lost weight since not working in the White House, New Jersey doctor Bruce Aronwald wrote in the letter.

A three-judge federal appeals court reviewing Donald Trump's request to overturn U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan's limited gag order listened for nearly two and a half hours to arguments that were slated to last a total of 40 minutes. They appeared largely skeptical of Trump's attorney's arguments, but experts say they believe the court will uphold the gag order while narrowing it somewhat to protect the ex-president's First Amendment rights.

“We have to use a careful scalpel here and not step into skewing the political arena,” U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Judge Judge Patricia Millet said in the latter half of Monday's hearing. MSNBC legal analyst Katie Phang called that "the crux" of the case. She added: "Judges are saying that there is a balance here to protect the integrity of the criminal judicial system, but not to infringe on someone’s rights."

Workers from Ford, General Motors and Stellantis ratified new contracts with hefty wage hikes, their union announced Monday, closing the books on an historic autoworkers strike at the three Detroit giants.

Members of the United Auto Workers voted 64 percent across the three companies in support of the contracts, said a UAW press release marking the official conclusion of the first-ever simultaneous stoppage at the three companies.

Fox Business host Maria Bartiromo, who infamously peddled conspiracy theories about the 2020 election that were concocted by a woman who believes she can talk with the wind, is now floating wild conspiracy theories about the origins of COVID-19.

While there is still some debate over whether COVID-19 may have originated from a viral research lab in the city of Wuhan, Bartiromo on Monday took things several steps farther — and suggested that the virus was part of a deliberate plot to bring down former President Donald Trump.

Some of former President Donald Trump's most outspoken critics are conservative Republicans who served in his administration, including former U.S. Attorney General Bill Barr, former National Security Adviser John Bolton, former White House Chief of Staff John F. Kelly, former Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, and former Defense Secretary Jim Mattis.

And they are making it clear that they would like to see someone else win the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.

Republicans are looking to prop up Independent — and former Democrat — incumbent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema in an effort to split the Democratic Party vote and boost GOP candidate Kari Lake's chances in the Arizona Senate race next year, Politico reported.

The party is reportedly worried that Sinema seems able to attract twice the number of Republican voters in a three-way race as Democrats, so members of the National Republican Senatorial Committee have launched a new digital ad that touts her liberal beliefs while attacking likely Democratic nominee Ruben Gallego.

The Court of Appeals held a hearing Monday about whether to reinstate the gag order imposed on former President Donald Trump blocking him from disclosing certain information about the trial and attacking or threatening court officers in the 2020 federal election interference case — and Trump's attorney, John Sauer, stumbled as the judges demanded he explain his legal position.

The case was heard by a three-judge panel consisting of Judges Patricia Millett and Cornelia Pillard, appointed by President Barack Obama, and Judge Bradley Garcia, appointed by President Joe Biden.

Fulton County Superior Court Judge Scott McAfee has scheduled a hearing for Tuesday afternoon to consider prosecutors’ request to revoke Harrison Floyd’s bond for allegedly making incendiary statements about witnesses in the 2020 presidential election interference case.

McAfee’s ruling will determine whether the ex-director of Black Voices for Trump will have to return to the same Atlanta jail where Floyd spent several days in August after a grand jury indicted him on charges alleging that he, Donald Trump and 17 of their co-defendants illegally conspired to try to reverse the GOP incumbent Donald Trump’s 2020 election loss to the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden in Georgia and several other states.

Many former Trump administration officials believe the former president is unfit to hold public office again — and cannot comprehend why he still has a large fanbase of voters prepared to elect him, reported The Washington Post on Monday.

"Among their reasons for opposing a second Trump term, they cite the 91 criminal charges against him, his attempts to overturn the 2020 election, his false claims of election fraud, his incendiary rhetoric in office, his desire to weaponize the Justice Department, his chaotic management style, his likely personnel choices in a second term, and his affinity for dictators," noted Post reporter Josh Dawsey.

President Joe Biden's approval rating has dropped to the lowest levels yet amid serious concerns about his handling of the Israel-Hamas war, but panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" aren't ready to count him out.

Biden fell behind Donald Trump for the first time in a hypothetical election rematch, but host Joe Scarborough said it's far too early to worry.

Judge Aileen Cannon baffled legal experts by delaying several procedural steps ahead of Donald Trump's trial in the classified documents case, and her rulings may complicate other cases involving the former president.

The U.S. District Court judge pushed back a meeting with prosecutors until February to review classified documents and refused to schedule a hearing on which sensitive materials Trump's lawyers intend to use at trial until sometime after March 1, which could delay the trial by up to four months, reported The Daily Beast.
