Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) trashed the Republican Party as "a cult to a thug" during an appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" Wednesday.

The former House speaker urged moderate Republicans to "take back your power" from the party's extremists, who she said had been ramming through unpopular legislation and court opinions – specifically the overturning of abortion rights.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough ripped Ron DeSantis for defending Donald Trump against a looming indictment in the Jan. 6 investigation.

The former president revealed he is a target in that probe, and his leading Republican rival offered only a mild criticism for Trump's actions on that day and accused the Department of Justice of criminalizing legitimate political actions.

Donald Trump is facing a new legal threat from special counsel Jack Smith, but a former official from the Obama White House doesn't think it will hurt his chances with Republican voters.

The former president revealed he had received a target letter Sunday from the special counsel, but former White House press secretary Robert Gibbs told MSNBC's Peter Alexander that he doesn't expect Trump to face any political blowback if he's charged for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Donald Trump is scheming to consolidate power under an obscure legal theory if he's re-elected to a second term, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski described the plot as "fascist."

The former president and his allies are planning to reorganize the executive branch to give him unprecedented power in a potential second term, and the "Morning Joe" co-hosts expressed grave concerns about his plans to stack the government with loyalists and sycophants.

A reporter who recently profiled Georgia prosecutor Fani Willis believes "indictments are coming" in her investigation of Donald Trump's efforts to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state.

Wall Street Journal reporter Cameron McWhirter interviewed the Fulton County district attorney as she weighs potential charges against Trump and his allies, and he told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Willis appears to be on a collision course with the former president.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) finally and grudgingly admitted that white nationalists might be racist, but MSNBC's Joe Scarborough wasn't impressed by his concession.

The Alabama Republican has repeatedly challenged the definition of white nationalism as a Democratic slur and questioned whether such views were inherently racist, but following intense criticism from colleagues on both sides of the aisle, he conceded that if someone believed whites were superior to other races and others determined that was a racist view, then he would agree.

Chris Christie called out Donald Trump's false bravado and predicted he would eventually accept a plea agreement to avoid prison.

The former president has been indicted on fraud charges in Manhattan and dozens of federal charges in the Mar-a-Lago classified documents case, and the Trump ally-turned-Republican presidential challenger told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that his braggadocious response to the criminal cases was just an act.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough mocked Republican lawmakers as their conspiracy theories about the Biden family fall apart.

A so-called whistleblower who repeatedly accused President Joe Biden and his son of corruption was indicted by the Justice Department with arms trafficking and acting as a foreign agent for China, as well as violating Iran sanctions, and the U.S. attorney for Delaware knocked down claims by another purported whistleblower about the Hunter Biden prosecution.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said a violent altercation at a Republican meeting in Michigan underscored the deep divisions within the GOP.

Republican activist James Chapman allegedly attacked Clare County GOP chair Mark DeYoung, leaving him with a broken rib, and the "Morning Joe" host said the incident was an example of the post-Donald Trump schism within the party.

Law enforcement officials involved in prosecuting Donald Trump are facing substantial harassment and threats, and a legal expert called out the former president for "crowdsourcing" violence against his enemies.

Federal agencies said threats against law enforcement was down overall since Trump's indictment in the classified documents case compared to the period right after the FBI searched Mar-a-Lago as part of that investigation, but former prosecutor Barbara McQuade told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" the individual threats were alarming and highly unusual.

A majority of Americans want Donald Trump to stand trial before the Republican primaries begin early next year, but one legal expert confidently predicted that wouldn't happen.

New polling shows 57 percent of respondents, including 42 percent of Republicans, want the trial to take place before the GOP primaries start, but MSNBC legal analyst Danny Cevallos believes the former president's attorneys will successfully delay the trial into next year.

Donald Trump reportedly pressured Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey to overturn his 2020 election loss in the state, and panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" questioned the timing of that revelation.

The ex-president attacked Ducey for accepting Joe Biden's win, and a video shows the governor ignoring what appears to be a call from Trump -- his phone plays a "Hail to the Chief" ringtone in the clip -- as he signs the certification papers, and former White House official Jennifer Palimieri speculated about the sourcing for the new reporting.

Panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" mocked Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) for enduring "ritualistic humiliation" by Donald Trump at a campaign rally.

The South Carolina Republican was booed by Trump supporters at a rally in his home state, and the former president offered a tepid defense of Graham by saying he helped draw "liberal" support for his re-election and promised to "get him straight," an apparent allusion to rumors the senator is gay.
