An outspoken Democratic lawmaker Wednesday publicly shamed MAGA Republicans for declaring unequivocal support for law enforcement while decrying those who brought former President Donald Trump and Jan. 6 rioters to justice.

Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) spoke out during a House Homeland Security Committee hearing on challenges faced by law enforcement officials. Behind him stood a poster with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene's photograph and her slogan "Defund the FBI."

National security expert Marcy Wheeler has been closely following the Hunter Biden case while the world is captivated by the ongoing Donald Trump saga unfolding in Manhattan.

Wheeler argued that special counsel David Weiss is continuing to try to block Biden's full book from being admitted into evidence. Instead, he wants only certain excerpts admitted — and that, she says, twists the narrative.

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani is launching a new campaign in his contentious bankruptcy battle, spurred by a $148 million defamation ruling against him, in an unexpected place: the coffee aisle.

Giuliani and his girlfriend Dr. Maria Ryan Tuesday night launched a new website shilling bagged Rudy Coffee with names like "Fighting for Justice," "America's Mayor" and "Enjoying Life," which is decaffeinated.

Sen. Mitt Romney is not impressed with his fellow Republicans' dress, particularly those who appeared in matching Donald Trump-inspired ensembles this week outside Manhattan criminal court.

"It's difficult to watch," Romney (R-UT) told CBS News reporter Scott MacFarlane, "watching them prostrating themselves."

Republican anti-Donald Trump group the Lincoln Project on Tuesday issued a brutal rebuttal to one conservative pundit's recent attempt to shame Vice President Kamala Harris: a video montage of the former president uttering swear words that cannot be printed on this site.

The video came as a rebuke to Fox News' Raymond Arroyo and his claim that Harris had denigrated her higher office by dropping "the f-bomb" during a speech to Asian American, Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander organizations on Monday.

Many contenders to be former President Donald Trump's running mate in 2024 have one particular trait in common, according to a scathing new editorial from the Daily Beast: they're "hypocrites."

Writer Nell Scovell delivered Tuesday a thorough breakdown of Trump's Republican running mate hopefuls and an aspect of their backgrounds many have tried to hide.

Donald Trump's lead attorney shocked legal experts with his cross examination of a star witness fixer who says he helped the former president funnel $130,000 in hush money payments to an adult film star with a story to tell.

CNN legal analyst Norm Eisen said Tuesday he was stunned that Todd Blanche managed to commit the "cardinal sin of cross examination" in a New York City criminal court trial that involves infamous tapes, alleged Lake Tahoe trysts and a historic presidential election.

Sen. J.D. Vance (R-OH) was subjected to ridicule Tuesday over his emotional explanation as to why he decided to join former President Donald Trump at his criminal hush money trial.

Vance, considered a potential running mate for the presumptive Republican nominee, did not speak of politics during his Fox News interview, but of friendship.

Three retired Republican senators are creating a resistance movement against former President Donald Trump and the MAGA populists they argue are usurping the party of former President Abraham Lincoln.

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-AL) has admitted he came to New York City Monday to break a gag order for former President Donald Trump.

MSNBC Anchor Nicolle Wallace reported Tuberville's public admission, made on the conservative channel Newsmax, as part of her coverage on Trump's ongoing criminal hush money trial and the gag order the former president has been fined for repeatedly violating.

NBC News reporter Vaughn Hillyard said Tuesday that Trump's behavior in court is coming off as if he doesn't care — and the jury is noticing it.

Speaking to MSNBC, Hillyard said actions like shutting his eyes are sending a clear defiant signal to anybody watching.

Legal analyst Andrew Weissmann was bothered by one line of questioning of Michael Cohen he said Donald Trump's lawyer was twisting out of context as cross-examination started in the hush money trial Tuesday.

MSNBC co-host Chris Jansing hushed the debating panel as they heard reports coming from the courtroom, saying, "It's getting a little brutal."

From inside the courtroom on the 17th day of Donald Trump's hush money trial in Manhattan, his lawyers tried to get under ex-lawyer Michael Cohen's skin.

Instead, observers saw the opposite.
