Appearing on MSNBC's "The Alex Witt Show," Rep. Jason Crow (D-CO) urged members of the Republican Party to calm down about reports that Donald Trump is on the verge of being indicted by Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

Reacting to a bevy of Republicans who have taken to social media and the cable shows to lash out at the Manhattan DA because the former president claimed early Saturday morning that he will be "arrested" -- without providing any evidence -- on Tuesday, Crow said everyone on both sides of the aisle needs to sit back and see if it happens and what the charges might be.

Appearing as the inaugural guest on MSNBC's new "Inside with Jen Psaki," House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) dismissed Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's prediction that Donald Trump would benefit from being indicted in a Manhattan courtroom.

Speaking with the former White House press secretary now hosting her own show, the top Democrat said his Republican colleague from Georgia is not a person to be taken seriously.

Appearing on MSNBC on Saturday afternoon, former Melania Trump chief of staff Stephanie Grisham suggested her former boss is keeping her distance as Donald Trump faces multiple indictments, with one expected next week.

Speaking with host Alex Witt, Grisham, who also briefly served as White House press secretary, claimed the former first lady has a history of staying clear of her husband's legal problems and, with the Manhattan D.A. reportedly on the verge of announcing an indictment over hush money paid to adult film star Stormy Daniels, nothing has likely changed.

Historian Michael Beschloss dropped the hammer on House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) on Saturday morning after McCarthy announced he was directing the GOP heads of the "relevant" House committees to run interference for Donald Trump as he faces multiple criminal investigations.

Trump created a stir early Saturday morning when he claimed on Truth Social that he expects to be arrested on Tuesday — then encouraged his fans in his all-caps post: "PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!"

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) jumped into the fray on Saturday morning after Donald Trump made a claim on Truth Social that he will be arrested on Tuesday.

Early Saturday, the leader of the House Republicans stated on Twitter that he wants all GOP chairs of relevant House committees to "immediately" look into whether federal funds are being used to fund investigations into the former president.

Reacting to a report that Donald Trump is likely to be indicted next week in a Manhattan courtroom by District Attorney Alvin Bragg, and the former president's claim on Truth Social early Saturday that he will be arrested on Tuesday, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) flipped out on Twitter and called for the defunding of the Department of Justice.

On Truth Social, in a two-part, all-cap post littered with misspellings, the former president wrote, in part: "NOW ILLEGAL LEAKS FROM A CORRUPT & HIGHLY POLITICAL MANHATTAN DISTRICT ATTORNEYS OFFICE, WHICH HAS ALLOWED NEW RECORDS TO BE SET IN VIOLENT CRIME & WHOSE LEADER IS FUNDED BY GEORGE SOROS, INDICATE THAT, WITH NO CRIME BEING ABLE TO BE PROVEN, & BASED ON AN OLD & FULLY DEBUNKED (BY NUMEROUS OTHER PROSECUTORS!) FAIRYTALE, THE FAR & AWAY LEADING REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE & FORMER PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, WILL BE ARRESTED ON TUESDAY OF NEXT WEEK. PROTEST, TAKE OUR NATION BACK!"

Rep. Jim Jordan last week claimed to have dirt on America’s Doctor, and the conservative firebrand from Ohio said he had the receipts.

Jordan during the first hearing held by the new House Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Pandemic on March 8 claimed that Dr. Anthony Fauci in his role as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases paid $9 million to get scientists to change their view on the origin of the pandemic.

Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) is calling for targeted military strikes on Mexico to go after the drug cartels — even as her claim that border agents found an explosive device on the border turned out to be wrong, The Daily Beast reported on Friday.

Greene's comments came on Wednesday, noted the report. “Explosive found by Border Patrol Agents Jan 17th,” she tweeted, showing a picture of an object wrapped in duct tape. “Agents have surveillance of who brought it in and when and confirmed it was the Cartel. This changes everything. Not only are the Cartels murdering Americans everyday through drugs and crime, but now they are planting bombs on our land in our country. Our US military needs to take action against the Mexican Cartels. End this Cartel led war against America!” In fact, the spherical duct-taped object was just full of sand.

The daughter of former Trump advisor Kellyanne Conway is taking jabs at Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and other Republicans with Twitter polls comparing them to fictional characters.

In one tweet, Claudia Conway asked, "who’s winning in a fight" and gave the choice between Sen. Ted Cruz and the "green m&m." The green M&M won in a landslide by over 98 percent.

A Texas-based gathering of the right-wing legal group the Federalist Society saw members pushing "radical new theories" about election laws — and possibly secession from the United States, reported POLITICO on Friday.

The Federalist Society -- which is best known for training an army of conservative lawyers for jobs on the federal bench, where they have undermined everything from abortion rights to labor laws to the basic ability of the civil service to pass rules -- was long a champion of "judicial restraint," as it was founded in an era when the judiciary was far more liberal than it is today.

Former President Donald Trump is decidedly not happy that his former attorney has spent the week talking to a grand jury in New York.

Writing on his Truth Social platform, the former president raged that longtime "fixer" Michael Cohen went before a grand jury this week and spilled details about the alleged hush money scheme to pay off adult film star Stormy Daniels in the weeks leading up to the 2016 presidential election.

The Guardian's Hugo Lowell is reporting that attorneys representing former President Donald Trump made a last-ditch effort to stop their client from being prosecuted by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office over hush-money payments to adult film star Stormy Daniels.

According to Lowell, the attorneys argued to Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg that Trump would have made the hush-money payments to Daniels even if he weren't running for president, as they were simply intended to save trouble with his marriage to Melania Trump.
