A Democratic lawmaker who attended the closed-door testimony of Hunter Biden's former business associate threw cold water on Republican suggestions that President Joe Biden accepted bribes in business dealings involving his son.

House Oversight Committee chairman James Comer (R-KY) told Fox News after the hearing that "there’s a lot of smoke" suggesting Biden corruption, but Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) strongly disputed the Kentucky Republican's claims during an appearance Tuesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

One of the big problems former President Donald Trump will face, now that the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case is entering a new phase, is learning that many of his professed loyalists are secretly looking to save themselves, argued former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner on MSNBC's "The ReidOut."

This comes as a new report reveals a Trump PAC has paid millions of dollars to provide the former president's co-defendants with legal counsel.

The new charges against Donald Trump will likely force federal judge Aileen Cannon to allow a damning audio recording into the evidence against the former president, a legal expert told MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Special counsel Jack Smith secured a superseding indictment charging Trump with three new counts related to his alleged efforts to destroy evidence in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, and the new charges make note of his recorded interview with a writer and publisher, for which two aides were present, discussing a "highly confidential" military record that he admitted he wasn't authorized to share.

Donald Trump has been slapped with new charges in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, which a veteran correspondent compared to a Mafia investigation.

The former president was indicted Thursday on additional charges of obstruction and willful retention of national defense information in a superseding indictment, and another one of his employees was also charged in the case, and NBC News correspondent Ken Delanian explained the developments to MSNBC's "Morning Joe."

Donald Trump is bracing for two more rounds of indictments in Washington, D.C., and Georgia, and MSNBC's Claire McCaskill said she's most interested in seeing the witness list in each case.

Two separate grand juries are investigating the former president's efforts to overturn his election loss, and while the contours of the likely charges have been reported -- Fulton County prosecutors are considering racketeering and election fraud charges while the special counsel is weighing deprivation of rights, conspiracy to defraud the U.S. and tampering with a witness.

Reporters are just as anxious as Donald Trump must be awaiting an indictment by special counsel Jack Smith in the Jan. 6 investigation.

The former president claims he was sent a target letter in the case, and suggested Tuesday evening he knew he was being indicted, but Washington Post reporter Jacqueline Alemany told MSNBC's "Way Too Early" that any timeline for charges in the case were merely rumors at this point.

There's a debate within the legal community on whether Donald Trump's co-conspirators will face indictment, or whether the former president is the only target for special counsel Jack Smith.

Trump claims to have received a target letter indicating an imminent indictment, and prosecutors appear to have evidence to charge Trump with obstruction of an official proceeding and conspiracy to defraud the United States -- which NBC News correspondent Ken Dilanian told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" suggests others could also be charged.

U.S. District Court Judge Aileen Cannon set a trial date for May 2024 in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, but legal experts believe Donald Trump's lawyers may be able to stall the proceeding until after the election.

The Department of Justice had hoped to start the trial by the end of this year, while the former president's lawyers had wanted to hold off until late next year – and MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance said Trump may get what he wants.

Panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" wondered what might be wrong with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

The Democratic presidential candidate appeared before Congress Thursday to deny accusations that he spreads antisemitic conspiracy theories after suggesting COVID-19 was “ethnically targeted” to spare Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people – and on Friday host Joe Scarborough called him out for lying.

Panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" called out the "rampant criminality" among Donald Trump's associates.

The former president has already been indicted twice and appears likely to face new charges in Washington, D.C., and Georgia for his attempts to overturn his 2020 election loss, and host Joe Scarborough noted how many of Trump's allies had also been prosecuted.

Donald Trump has been making ominous threats as he faces another indictment, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said he doesn't seem to understand how much trouble he's facing.

The former president boosted a threatening video from a MAGA account this week and gave a radio interview saying it would be "dangerous" to put him in jail for any of the crimes for which he's been formally accused, and the "Morning Joe" host said Trump was only making things worse for himself.

MSNBC's Claire McCaskill on Thursday traced the Republican Party's moral decline under Donald Trump.

The former Missouri senator recalled the GOP's response to her 2012 challenger Todd Akin's comments on rape, and she told "Morning Joe" that Republicans now blithely accept far more depraved statements and behavior from their party members since Trump arrived on the scene.

CBS News Reporter Scott MacFarlane reported Wednesday that Rep. George Santos (R-NY) had been forced to ask his pre-trial court for travel freedoms since he's still serving in Congress.

The Santos defense lawyers asked the court to loosen the restriction on his movements, specifically allowing him to move through the 30-mile radius of Washington, D.C.
