Former Trump lawyer Rudy Giuliani was notified that he's a target in a Georgia election interference probe just days before he must sit for a deposition in Atlanta, and that presents him with a daunting choice to make.

The former New York City mayor seems likely to be indicted in Donald Trump's scheme to overturn his election loss in the state, and a judge has compelled his testimony before a special grand jury -- while another judge ordered Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to testify -- and Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" what that means for the former president and his allies.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough reacted to new developments in the criminal investigations of former President Donald Trump and his allies.

Rudy Giuliani was notified that he's a target in an investigation into Trump's efforts to overturn his election loss in Georgia, where a judge also compelled Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) to testify before a grand jury, and the "Morning Joe" host said things were looking grim for the former president.

MSNBC's Jonathan Lemire revealed that Donald Trump's allies are increasingly concerned about the investigation into his handling of highly sensitive government documents.

The FBI executed a search warrant last week at Mar-A-Lago and seized 11 sets of classified materials, and Lemire said the former president's allies are starting to worry that this scandal won't easily be brushed aside.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough knocked down Donald Trump's excuses for taking home classified documents to his home at Mar-A-Lago.

The FBI searched the former president's home last week and removed around a dozen boxes of materials he had refused to turn over to the Department of Justice, and the "Morning Joe" host sorted through a litany of shifting justifications for Trump's possession of those documents.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough hammered Republicans for spending years excoriating Hillary Clinton's handling of classified materials and then turning around defending Donald Trump over far worse allegations.

The FBI carried out a search of Mar-A-Lago this week, where agents reportedly expected to find nuclear secrets among the classified materials Trump took from the White House, and Scarborough and "Morning Joe" co-host Mika Brzezinski laid into Republicans for attacking law enforcement to protect the former president from serious allegations.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough expressed shock over revelations that FBI agents were looking for nuclear secrets among the documents stashed away at Donald Trump's private resort in Florida.

Attorney general Merrick Garland confirmed Thursday that he personally authorized the decision to seek a search warrant for Mar-a-Lago, and sources later said documents relating to nuclear weapons were among the classified documents they were looking for -- and the "Morning Joe" host was astonished that Trump's attorney said on Fox News that she hadn't spoken yet with her client.

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Attorney General Merrick Garland delivered remarks on Thursday afternoon days after the FBI conducted a search warrant at President Donald Trump's Florida home at Mar-a-Lago.

"Since I became attorney general, I have made clear that the Department of Justice will speak through its court filings and its work," Garland began. "Just now the justice Department has filed a motion in the southern district of Florida to unseal a search warrant and property receipt relating to a court-approved search that the FBI conducted earlier this week. That search was a premises located in Florida belonging to the former president. The department did not make any public statements on the day of the search. The former president publicly confirmed the search that evening, as is his right."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said the Mar-A-Lago search revealed the Republican Party was opposed to law and order, and he singled out Newt Gingrich for special scorn.

The GOP has circled its wagons around Donald Trump after federal agents removed around a dozen boxes of presidential documents that investigators say had been improperly removed from the White House, and the "Morning Joe" host blasted conservatives for inciting violence against law enforcement officials.

An informant reportedly told the FBI where they could find classified documents Donald Trump had stashed away at Mar-A-Lago, and now the former president is purportedly consumed by mistrust.

The FBI executed a search warrant Monday at Trump's private club in Florida, which was reportedly prompted by a confidential human source, and MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said the ex-president is taking a close look around his inner circle.

George Conway assessed the quickly gathering legal challenges Donald Trump is facing after FBI agents searched Mar-A-Lago two days before he was forced to testify in a New York investigation of his business practices.

The former president pleaded the Fifth Amendment more than 400 times Wednesday in his deposition before New York's attorney general, as his allies fanned out across the media suggesting that FBI agents planted unspecified evidence during the hours-long search of his home, and Conway told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Trump's situation was grim.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski bashed "known moron" Donald Trump for endangering national security with character flaws.

The FBI searched his Mar-A-Lago home as part of an investigation into improper handling of classified materials, but the "Morning Joe" co-hosts agreed there seemed to be more to the search warrant than has been publicly revealed.

The House Select Committee has paused its public hearings, but its investigation of the Jan. 6 insurrection continues to move forward with gathering speed.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo testified Tuesday before the panel, while Pennsylvania gubernatorial candidate Doug Mastriano walked out of his own deposition after just 15 minutes following a dispute over his demand to record the meeting, and Guardian reporter Hugo Lowell discussed the latest developments on MSNBC's "Way Too Early."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough said Republicans were driving themselves into "political oblivion" by staking out extreme positions to defend Donald Trump's lawlessness.

The former president's allies have called for civil war, retaliatory investigations and defunding the FBI after federal agents executed a search warrant at Mar-A-Lago, and the "Morning Joe" host mocked their efforts -- which he said would drive voters further away from the increasingly extreme Republican Party.
