The author of a new book about Donald Trump and the Republican Party revealed a "fascinating" detail he learned about vice president Mike Pence's actions ahead of the Jan. 6 insurrection.

Vanity Fair reporter David Drucker, author of the newly published book "In Trump's Shadow," told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Pence had decided that he would not help Trump overturn the election and wanted to prevent a future president from attempting the same gambit.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough roasted former president Donald Trump for threatening to tank the Republicans' chances at winning another congressional majority.

The twice-impeached one-term president warned that his supporters would stay home unless GOP elected officials found a way to overturn his election loss from nearly a year ago, and the "Morning Joe" host wondered whether that was an indication that Trump didn't plan to run for re-election in 2024.

Michigan's attorney general warned that Donald Trump-backed candidates intend to carry out the ex-president's "lock her up" threats against public officials deemed insufficiently loyal to the MAGA cause.

Attorney general Dana Nessel appeared Wednesday on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" to discuss threats made against her at a rally by Matthew DePerno, a Trump-endorsed candidate for Michigan attorney general who the Republican-led state Senate referred for investigation for spreading lies about the 2020 election to raise money for his own benefit.

A member of the U.S. House select committee explained how Donald Trump's allies might be rounded up and arrested if they continued to defy congressional subpoenas in the Jan. 6 investigation.

Rep. Stephanie Murphy (D-FL) appeared on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," where she called for fines or jail time for former Trump advisers who flout orders for their testimony and documents related to the insurrection, and she revealed what questions the committee had for former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows and others served with the subpoenas.

Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) revealed how the White House and House Republicans helped Steve Bannon evade accountability in the Russia probe.

The former White House chief strategist and chief executive of Donald Trump's first campaign was called in 2018 by the House Intelligence Committee to testify about Russian election interference, but Schiff told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that Bannon was allowed to sidestep their questions.

On Tuesday morning, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough hammered Texas Gov. Greg Abbott for banning business owners from mandating vaccines for their employees.

The Republican governor expanded prior orders from his office to prohibit any entity, including private business owners, from requiring employees or customers to be vaccinated, and the "Morning Joe" host called that move "insanity."

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough called for stiffer punishments for the Donald Trump supporters who stormed the U.S. Capitol with the intention of overturning his election loss.

Many of the rioters have already taken plea agreements resulting in fines and months in jail, but the "Morning Joe" host said they're getting off too easy, and he said Republicans who continue to back the twice-impeached one-term president should be banished from polite society.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough called for Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) to be thrown in jail for his role in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The Missouri Republican grossly distorted the facts during a Senate hearing on the ongoing harassment of school board members around the country over COVID-19 safety measures and anti-racism lessons, and the "Morning Joe" host piggybacked off Hawley's grandstanding remarks to calling for his prosecution.

Democratic strategist James Carville said Donald Trump's legal troubles would help boost Democrats to a midterm election win.

The twice-impeached one-term president is facing numerous lawsuits and criminal investigations, and the Senate Judiciary Committee revealed new evidence of wrongdoing in its investigation of his efforts to overturn his election loss, and Carville told MSNBC's "11th Hour" that things were looking good for Democrats.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough openly mocked Donald Trump and his Senate allies for bellyaching after their plan to wreck the economy flopped.

The twice-impeached one-term president, along with Sens. Ted Cruz (R-TX) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), groused on Fox News and the Senate floor that GOP minority leader Mitch McConnell had taken a deal with the Democratic majority to allow a vote to lift the debt ceiling until December, and the "Morning Joe" host laughed out loud at their complaints.

A Yale historian warned that Donald Trump and Mike Pence's continued lies about the election and failed Jan. 6 coup attempt were pushing the U.S. closer to tyranny.

Tim Snyder, a historian and author of the new book, "On Tyranny," has been sounding the alarm against encroaching authoritarianism since the early days of the Trump presidency, and he told MSNBC's "Morning Joe" that the threat had not passed.

A former Pentagon and CIA official warned of "significant national security consequences" if Senate Republicans force a default on the national debt.

The U.S. Senate must agree to lift the debt ceiling to avoid defaulting, which MSNBC's Jeremy Bash, a former chief of staff at both the Department of Defense and the Central Intelligence Agency, said the consequences could be catastrophic.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough denounced Mike Pence for "bowing and scraping" to Donald Trump and his supporters -- who called for his execution during the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The former vice president downplayed the deadly U.S. Capitol riots intended to pressure him to halt the certification of Joe Biden's election win, and the "Morning Joe" host said that should disqualify him from holding any elected office.
