Former NFL owner Dan Snyder invested in a biopic about Donald Trump's years being mentored by infamous right-wing lawyer Roy Cohn -- and he is reportedly furious with the final product because of the way the former president is portrayed in it.

In particular, he was offended by a scene where the future president is seen raping his first wife Ivana.

Before Judge Juan Merchan sends a Manhattan jury off to decide whether Donald Trump is guilty in his hush money trial, the former president's legal team will have to make a decision in a filing that could risk a guilty verdict but that drastically lowers the penalties after conviction.

In a column for the Wall Street Journal, former New York state judge Ethan Greenberg claimed Trump's lawyers could ask the jury to alternatively consider misdemeanor charges against their client instead of the 34 felonies he is now facing, which could spare him from a harsher sentence.

All three co-hosts of MSNBC's "The Weekend," along with former Donald Trump White House aide Sarah Matthews, pounced on Donald Trump for telling a raucous NRA crowd on Saturday that President Joe Biden deserves to be executed.

During his speech before the gun owners in Texas, the former president told the crowd that "Manchurian candidate" Biden has accepted money from Russia, China and Ukraine before claiming, "If that were a Republican, he would have been given the electric chair, they would have brought back the death penalty."

The hush money trial of former president Donald Trump could wrap up this coming week and, according to some legal experts, prosecutors working for Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg appear to have the upper hand based on the evidence laid out before the jurors.

While much of the focus of the trial has been placed upon former Trump lawyer and "fixer" Michael Cohen, according to a report from the New York Times, jurors have a wealth of documentation presented by the prosecution that should outweigh any misgivings they have about Cohen's history of misrepresenting the truth — in many situations to protect his client.

Donald Trump and his affiliated PAC's may be raking in hundreds of millions of dollars with the November presidential election less than six months away, but approximately only a third is going to his campaign with a staggering amount being funneled elsewhere.

According to a comprehensive analysis by Politico, Trump's legal woes are "soaking up" a stunning amount of the dollars taken in with the costs of raising even more money coming in second, far ahead of campaign expenditures.

House Oversight Republicans held a contempt of Congress hearing for Attorney General Merrick Garland while lawmakers allegedly were drinking alcohol and acting "pretty ugly" during Thursday night's proceedings. Now, they are the ones accused of behavior "embarrassing to our institution" by Ranking Member Jamie Raskin (D-MD), who wants an investigation.

"Members of the panel ultimately advanced a contempt of Congress resolution against Attorney General Merrick Garland on a party-line vote, but the far more striking takeaway was the personal attacks and theatrics lobbed between lawmakers in both parties — as Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) struggled unsuccessfully to gain control for more than an hour," Politico reported Friday, adding: "both Republicans and Democrats acknowledged some members had been drinking that evening."

Despite New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan explicitly warning Donald Trump last week that any future violations of his gag order could result in jail time, the ex-president appears to have done so directly on Thursday.

"A lead person from the DOJ is running the trial," Trump claimed, obviously referring to prosecutor Matthew Colangelo, as Law & Crime reports.

House Republicans' efforts to demonstrate unwavering support for Donald Trump as he stands trial in his election subversion, business records falsification, and "hush money" trial are growing, with GOP lawmakers showing up at trial and reading speeches reportedly written or edited by him that may violate the indicted ex-president's gag order, and even pausing a House hearing so members can travel to the Manhattan Criminal Courts Building to appear behind Trump, literally and figuratively.

U.S. Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), a self-professed "ultra-MAGA" lawmaker, came under fire Thursday after posting support for Trump in words that echo the ex-president's direction to the far-right neo-fascist group the Proud Boys. The Southern Poverty Law Center lists the Proud Boys as an extremist hate group.

Manhattan Criminal Court — Laughter erupted Thursday during former President Donald Trump's criminal hush money trial when his attorney made a plea to the judge — and received a swift and stern "No."

Todd Blanche asked to approach Judge Juan Merchan within the first 15 minutes of his second day of cross-examining Trump's former fixer Michael Cohen.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, promoting a California sheriff who was once a member of a far-right extremist anti-government group that has been called “instrumental” in the January 6 insurrection, on Wednesday demanded making “crimes criminal again” — just a day after traveling to a Manhattan criminal court to stand up for Donald Trump.

The indicted ex-president faces 34 felony charges in his election subversion, business records falsification and “hush money” trial.

Donald Trump may have gotten played for a "sucker" by a billionaire donor who's trying to save his stake in the TikTok social media company, according to a journalist.

Billionaire investor Jeff Yass and his privately held Susquehanna International Group hold a 15-percent stake in TikTok's parent company ByteDance, but president Joe Biden signed a law last month that would force the company to sell off the social media platform to an American owner or get banned from the U.S. market – so he's turning to Trump for help.

In his remarks outside the courtroom Tuesday, Donald Trump demanded Judge Juan Merchan rescind the tailored gag order placed on him that was designed to ensure the sanctity of the trial and the safety of witnesses, jurors, court staff, and their families.

"The gag order has to come off," Trump told reporters Tuesday morning, adding his frequent "never been anything like this in the history of our country" claim.

Yet another false claim by Trump supporters in defense of the January 6 rioters has been blown to pieces after House Republicans released their latest batch of footage of the attack on the U.S. Capitol, according to longtime congressional reporter Jamie Dupree.

Specifically, Dupree wrote, the footage puts the lie to the assertion that police at the Capitol stood by and opened the doors to let the rioters in — a claim that is often used as evidence that the whole event was somehow an entrapment operation to trick Trump supporters into committing acts of violence.
