New York attorney general Letitia James slapped down Donald Trump's insulting attacks outside a courthouse where he's on civil trial for fraud, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said that's a sign she's holding a good hand.
The former president was admonished by Judge Arthur Engoron to keep quiet following an outburst inside the courtroom, and the "Morning Joe" host was struck by the attorney general's comments afterward.
"He's called me venomous, disgraceful, radical, a racist – and this is only week three," James told reporters. "The reality is, is that none of his behavior, which can best be described as performative, will change what's happening in the courtroom. We are here to enforce the law, and nothing will change that – no attacks, no words. I will not give in, I will not give up. I will only serve justice and enforce the law."

Scarborough said those remarks showed the confidence James had in her case, which Engoron has already ruled she had proven before the bench trial even started.
"You know who that is – somebody smiling," Scarborough said. "That's somebody holding four aces while the person across the table is screaming and yelling. She's holding four aces because she's holding years and years and years of lies."
