Joe Biden

Donald Trump complains that all of his criminal prosecutions and civil lawsuits are intended to prevent him from getting re-elected as president, but MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said he was only running again to avoid the consequences of those legal actions against him.

The quadruple-indicted ex-president has so far been found liable for sexual abuse, defamation and fraud and fined more than half a billion dollars, and last week he was convicted on all 34 felony counts of falsifying business records to cover up other crimes, and the "Morning Joe" host reminded viewers that he's been saying since before the 2020 election that Trump would seek office to avoid accountability.

Human rights defenders on Tuesday decried the U.S. House of Representatives' passage of a bill that would sanction International Criminal Court officials over the Hague tribunal's pursuit of arrest warrants for Israeli leaders—legislation critics warned would undermine the court's independence and could be weaponized to silence Americans' free speech.

House lawmakers voted 247-155 in favor of H.R. 8282, the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act. Forty-two pro-Israel Democrats joined all but two Republicans who voted "present" in approving the bill, which was sponsored by far-right Rep. Chip Roy (R-Texas).

Donald Trump faced Republican voters for the first time as a convicted felon on Tuesday during the final state primaries for the 2024 presidential nomination, where he continued to sweep up votes.

The ex-president has already locked up the Republican nomination to run against President Joe Biden, making the votes in Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico and South Dakota formalities.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski bashed the Wall Street Journal for allowing current and former House Republicans to question President Joe Biden's mental fitness.

The "Morning Joe" co-hosts ripped Mike Johnson and Kevin McCarthy, the current and previous House speaker, for suggesting the president suffered age-related memory problems, saying both men had praised Biden's sharpness in the past.

U.S. President Joe Biden on Wednesday began a state visit to France marking 80 years since the World War II D-Day landings, with a new war shadowing Europe as Ukraine battles Russian invasion.

Along with French President Emmanuel Macron, British King Charles III and Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Biden will on Thursday remember the heroism of the Allied troops who gave their lives often far from home in the landings on June 6, 1944 to free Europe from Nazi occupation.

Only a tiny number of people in Britain, France and Germany put great faith in the United States to guarantee their security over the coming decade, a survey said Wednesday, ahead of an election in which Donald Trump has thrown doubt on alliances.

The Eurasia Group's Institute for Global Affairs, in its survey of the three western European nations, still found that more people than not expected the United States to be at least "somewhat" reliable.

After a bruising hearing where Attorney General Merrick Garland faced a barrage of GOP-led accusations that the Justice Department had been supposedly weaponized against former President Donald Trump, Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) shredded Republicans whom he said were doing Trump's dirty work.

"I watched this spectacle on [sic] the GOP side, that in the beginning there were a few people who stood up to [Trump] in some way, shape, or form," Schiff, a candidate for Senate, said during an appearance on MSNBC's "The Last Word" with Lawrence O'Donnell. "They are all going or gone and all we are left with is the stooges and sycophants. That is what you saw on the committee today: there is no level below which they will not sink to defend Donald Trump, which underscores again why we cannot allow that convicted felon in the Oval Office because there will be no restraint on him by any of his own party in that kind of a racketeering administration or in Congress."

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene avows she does not worship former President and convicted felon Donald Trump, but a new social media homage suggests she's got a lot of love to give him.

Greene posted to X Tuesday evening a 300-word X post fawning over Trump and the qualities she said she truly loves.

A hemp deal that Rep. James Comer (R-KY) could hail as a win for Kentucky ended in a swiftly buried Chinese pot bust, according to a new report.

The Daily Beast Tuesday revealed a sweeping expose about the House Oversight Committee chair — known for lobbing accusations against President Joe Biden's son Hunter over ties to a Chinese energy company — and his snafus importing Chinese hemp while running for the governorship of his state.

Former President and convicted felon Donald Trump did the near impossible Tuesday and shocked a nation already well accustomed to his unique rhetorical style.

"I’ve seen this before in folks who OD on Adderall," wrote national security attorney Bradley Moss.

Former President and convicted felon Donald Trump went off the rails rapidly in a rambling interview delivered on the far-right cable network Newsmax on Tuesday night, threatening to throw former Secretary of State and 2016 presidential candidate Hillary Clinton in jail.

The footage was first flagged by Public Notice's Aaron Rupar, and Meidas Touch's Acyn Torabi.

Another Proud Boys member pleaded guilty to engaging in the deadly Jan. 6, 2021 Capitol riot this week in a case that revealed his disturbing words before mounting the attack.

Freedom Vy, 39, of Southwest Philadelphia pleaded guilty on Tuesday to illegally entering a restricted area — a misdemeanor, according to The Philadelphia Inquirer.
