ABC's "The View" walked through the 13 federal charges against Republican New York Rep. George Santos during their show Wednesday. Santos faces charges that range from lying to Congress to money laundering and wire fraud, all of which add up to a lengthy prison sentence if he's found guilty.

The View co-host Sunny Hostin is a former federal prosecutor from the Eastern District of New York, where the charges against Santos originate.

The co-hosts of "The View" began their Wednesday show celebrating the accountability handed to Donald Trump by a New York jury on Tuesday which found he sexually abused and defamed columnist E. Jean Carroll.

The show's conservative co-host, Alyssa Farah Griffin – who previously worked as a communications adviser to Trump's White House – was frustrated with her party's lack of reaction on the topic.

Legal experts responded on Tuesday after a jury in New York found former President Donald Trump liable for sexual abuse and defamation.

The verdict sheet outlined how the jury should decide the liability for Trump, which required that they decide whether Trump raped Carroll, sexually abused her, or forcibly touched her. If he was culpable, responsible, or "guilty" in the informal sense, of that, they had to determine the amount she'd be awarded.

A jury has found that former President Donald Trump sexually abused E. Jean Carroll decades ago and then defamed her by denying it. It took just a little over three hours for the jury to come to a conclusion.

While the jury said that he didn't "rape" her, it said she was sexually abused and awarded her $2 million in damages.

An exchange Tuesday morning between Donald Trump's lawyer Joe Tacopina and Judge Lewis Kaplan left one former prosecutor-turned-law-professor wondering if there were about to be some sanctions passed down.

At the start of the proceedings, E. Jean Carroll's lawyer Robbie Kaplan (no relation to the judge), brought up the morning posts by Trump on Truth Social in which he complained that he was "not allowed to speak or defend myself, even as hard nosed reporters scream questions about this case at me."

Marjorie Taylor Greene's campaign credit card is being linked to a strange transaction between far-right extremist – and former MTG intern – Milo Yiannopoulos and Kanye West.

According to a report by the Daily Beast, last November Yiannopoulos used the credit card to buy an internet domain for West's as yet unannounced 2024 presidential bid. West's campaign reimbursed him for "domain transfer" for $9,955 – $3,000 above cost, the Daily Beast reported citing receipts and information from a source.

Just days after former Attorney General Bill Barr told the world that the country's relapse into Donald Trump's leadership would be a "horror show," the former president responded on Tuesday.

“If you believe in his policies, what he’s advertising is his policies, he’s the last person who could actually execute them and achieve them,” Barr said. “He does not have the discipline, he does not have the ability for strategic thinking and linear thinking or setting priorities or how to get things done in the system.”

Elmer Stewart Rhodes is begging for leniency in the sentence for his sedition charge. Meanwhile, the government released recordings of Rhodes' estranged wife, in which she describes years of paranoid behavior.

According to the recordings, which are part of the government's sentencing materials and were posted online by Lawfare's senior editor Roger Parloff, Tasha Adams gave details about the daily life she had with Rhodes.

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow began her Monday show detailing the Nazi speakers being welcomed to Trump Doral in Miami over the week and drew a line from those individuals to the Jan. 6 attacks and ultimately to the mass shooting in Allen, Texas, over the weekend.

Maddow also noted that this week is the one-year anniversary of the mass shooting at the Buffalo, New York market by a white supremacist who believed Tucker Carlson's monologues about the "great replacement theory."

Constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe told MSNBC on Monday that he thinks there might be some wiggle room for President Joe Biden as he tries to keep the United States government afloat amid the debt ceiling limit.

According to host Lawrence O'Donnell: "Whether the Constitution, 'which says the validity of the public debt of the United States shall not be questioned,' overrides the cap on public, legislated by Congress, as they call the debt ceiling. If Congress fails to pass an increase in the debt ceiling to cover the debts already incurred by congressional spending, can the president and the Treasury use the authority of the Constitution to continue to incur more debt to pay the government's bills? Which are bills that were legislated by Congress? Everyone has changed their minds about the debt ceiling."

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow began her Monday show with a list of pro-Nazi speakers that are being welcomed to the Trump Hotel in Miami for an event where a number of former White House officials will also be speaking.

A former national security adviser, a former U.S. trade chief, a former Pentagon chief of staff and a former acting attorney general are all appearing at the same confab with those who have promoted Nazi ideology — and in some cases — Hitler himself.

The battle for Tucker Carlson's text messages continues after reports that they were so damaging, Fox News believed they were "unsurvivable."

In a report from the Daily Beast, more of the Carlson texts with Bret Baier are being revealed. Last week, the report cited a desperate attempt by Carlson and Baier to try and win back disaffected Donald Trump supporters who had abandoned the network after it correctly called Arizona for Joe Biden on election night.
