Ruby Freeman's lawyer clashed in court with the attorney for Harrison Floyd as a hearing on potential bond violations by the Trump co-defendant unfolded in Fulton County, Georgia, Tuesday.

At issue is whether Floyd harassed people on social media. The conditions of his release pending trial include not communicating directly or indirectly about the details of the case or with any of the co-defendants or known witnesses.

Harrison Floyd, one of the 19 co-defendants in the Fulton County, Georgia racketeering case around the 2020 election, may not have attempted to intimidate witnesses — but it's clear to Judge Scott McAfee that he tried to communicate with them.

Floyd posted social media comments about potential witnesses like Jenna Ellis, Sidney Powell, and Ruby Freeman over the course of a week. District Attorney Fani Willis asked to revoke his bond for it — which the judge declined after hearing several hours of argument.

Former Trump lawyer Jenna Ellis, who this month pleaded guilty and agreed to give evidence against her ex-boss in the Fulton County election interference case, says another co-defendant aimed to intimidate her with social media posts.

Harrison Floyd faces having his bail revoked at a hearing Tuesday amid claims he broke his bond conditions with his activity on social media that prosecutors say caused “intentional and flagrant violations."

Sen. Markwayne Mullin's (R-OK) near fist-fight in a Senate hearing has drawn increased attention to what some are calling "little man syndrome."

Mullin complained Tuesday about the price of gas for his diesel F-250 truck being $4.68 a gallon — despite GasBuddy showing the fuel selling for much less in his home state.

Ex-White House staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin explained what she claims is the real reason so many Republicans won't leave Donald Trump despite his losing track record — they're making money.

Chatting with her co-hosts of "The View" on Tuesday, the former Trump administration aide said there are too many people making too much cash off of the supporters of Trump.

A judge's decision not to keep Donald Trump off the 2024 ballot in Colorado despite ruling that he was an insurrectionist is being appealed.

Last week, a Colorado court made a factual finding that Trump was an insurrectionist, but ruled that he still belongs on the ballot. The lawsuit that tried to get him removed, launched by a collection of Republican and unaffiliated voters, argued that Trump's activities on Jan. 6 fly in the face of the 14th Amendment in the U.S. Constitution, and a similar law in Colorado, that bars people from holding public office if they are insurrectionists.

Former President Donald Trump's lawyer seems to think only the broadest reading of First Amendment matters above all other laws when it comes to instituting gag orders against his client.

Former Acting U.S. Solicitor General Neal Katyal, in an appearance on MSNBC's "The Last Word" with Lawrence O'Donnell, laid into the lawyer representing the GOP frontrunner in the 2024 presidential race on his performance that seemed to argue that the First Amendment blocked the government from imposing any restrictions on a criminal defendant ahead of their trial.

The reason that Donald Trump's lawyer was refusing to answer the questions being asked of him in court on Monday was likely because he knew there was no way he was going to win, three legal experts told MSNBC on Monday evening.

Before the Washington, D.C. Court of Appeals, Trump's lawyer, John Sauer, repeatedly refused to answer the hypothetical questions being posed to him. Ultimately, this led Judge Cornelia Pillard to snap at him.

Trump's third run for the presidency is “damn dangerous," warned one Republican.

The blunt sentiment comes from former Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel in a New York Times editorial focusing on the ways the 45th president has flirted with fascist and neofascist tropes, while essentially launching a domestic war against his perceived enemies.

Cassidy Hutchinson, the former aide to White House chief of staff Mark Meadows, told MSNBC's Jen Psaki that former Attorney General Bill Barr needs to think again when it comes to who he plans to vote for in 2024.

A Washington Post report was published Monday revealing some male Republican staffers of former President Donald Trump were trepidatious about coming forward against the ex-president because they didn't want to be labeled a Democrat.

A Democratic state legislator from Brooklyn has been accused in a lawsuit of raping a woman during a meeting at her house about Haiti relief money, reported the Associated Press on Monday.

"The lawsuit, filed Friday, accuses Sen. Kevin Parker of assaulting her in 2004, during his first term. The woman said she had been working with Parker to coordinate the delivery of items and donations to Haiti after a devastating flood that affected the country and other neighboring Caribbean Islands," reported Bobby Cuza. "The suit was filed under the Adult Survivors Act, a special state law that created a yearlong suspension of the usual time limit for accusers to sue. The law is set to expire after Thanksgiving."
