According to a former Republican Party adviser, GOP lawmakers are doing themselves and their party no favors by clutching even tighter to Donald Trump now that he has been indicted by a Manhattan grand jury and is set to be arraigned on Tuesday.

Appearing on MSNBC with host Katie Phang, Tara Setmayer scorched Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) and Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), saving her harshest criticism for the South Carolina Republican who made a much-derided, teary-eyed appearance on Fox News begging for money for Trump.

Reacting to plans by Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) to show up in Manhattan on Tuesday to protest the criminal arraignment of indicted Donald Trump, one of her colleagues in the House remarked that it is her right, but her efforts will be a waste of time.

Appearing on MSNBC with host Jonathan Capehart, Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) dismissed out of hand Taylor Greene's rush to Trump's defense which will include her visit to Manhattan, saying: "It's not going to do any good."

The U.S. Capitol Police and the Senate Sergeant at Arms on Friday jointly issued a statement warning they "anticipate" Trump protests across the country. The statement is not time-specific, and it states it has no information on "credible threats," but some Democratic offices are allowing staffers to work from home Friday and Tuesday.

"The Sergeant at Arms and United States Capitol Police (USCP) anticipate demonstration activity across the country related to the indictment of former President Trump. While law enforcement is not tracking any specific, credible threats against the Capitol or state offices, there is potential for demonstration activity. USCP is working with law enforcement partners, so you may observe a greater law enforcement presence on Capitol Hill," the statement reads.

In the immediate days before he was indicted in New York for his $130,000 hush payment scheme to adult film star Stormy Daniels, former President Donald Trump really thought he had defeated Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and his public offensives had gotten him off scot-free.

That's what Michael Cohen, the former Trump attorney who went to prison over his role in the scheme and later cooperated against his former boss, told MSNBC's Joy Reid on Friday.

Marjorie Taylor Greene on Friday blamed nonbinary people and progressive activists for America’s political unrest.

The far-right congresswoman from Georgia alleged that “Transtifa” is behind insurrections in a bizarre 71-word tweet in which she also expressed support for a man who pleaded guilty Friday to federal charges in connection with a scheme to misinform voters.

Former President Donald Trump will officially be arraigned at a court in Manhattan next Tuesday at 2:15 p.m. ET, the Associated Press reports.

The arraignment will make Trump the first president in American history to be criminally indicted, adding to an historic legacy that also includes an unprecedented two impeachments in the House of Representatives.

While congressional Republicans are rushing to defend a former reality TV star accused of making illegal hush-money payments to an adult film star, at least one of their Democratic colleagues thinks they should take the opportunity to throw former President Donald Trump overboard.

As Punchbowl News' Jake Sherman reports, Rep. Greg Landsman (D-OH) on Friday expressed bewilderment over why his Republican colleagues seem so intent on doing everything they can to defend Trump, who in addition to being indicted was also impeached in the House of Representatives on two separate occasions.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) on Friday vowed to travel to New York to protest against the indictment and arrest of former President Donald Trump.

"I’m going to New York on Tuesday," the Georgia congresswoman wrote on Twitter. "We MUST protest the unconstitutional WITCH HUNT!"

In a voice memo to Raw Story, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) decried the indictment of former President Donald Trump and vowed to stand by his side.

“Tonight I'm giving a Lincoln Day address in Gettysburg, here the most important battle of the Civil War was fought … And the irony could not be any stronger given that President Trump was just indicted by the Manhattan AG Alvin Bragg tonight,” Greene told Raw Story.

After the New York Times revealed that the Manhattan District Attorney's Office was looking at felony charges for former President Donald Trump, it sparked a legal conversation among scholars and experts about how they would get there.

If Trump is charged with a crime over the hush money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels, it doesn't rise above a misdemeanor charge. To try and hide the payment to Daniels, Trump spliced them out into several payments to Cohen over time and claimed them as a legal retainer.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) heaped praise on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Thursday, claiming he played a key role in securing the release of a man convicted in connection with the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

Jacob Chansley, 35 of Phoenix, was sentenced to 41 months in prison after he pleaded guilty to one felony count of obstructing an official proceeding.

Republicans are stepping up their war against Manhattan district attorney Alvin Bragg as he considers charges against Donald Trump.

House speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) has already called for committees to delve into Bragg's investigation of Trump's hush money payment to porn actress Stormy Daniels, and GOP lawmakers are weighing subpoenas for the county prosecutor to testify about his probe, reported The Daily Beast.

A Florida congressman on Wednesday assailed Republicans who oppose gun safety laws in the aftermath of a school shooting in Nashville earlier this week that killed six people including three children.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) noted that the Nashville shooting suspect used an AR-15, the assault rifle of choice for most mass shooters that was banned from 1994 to 2004.
