A law clerk recently hired by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas' wife Ginni allegedly stated that she hates Black people, Reuters reports.

The New Yorker reported in 2017 that, during her time working for the right-wing nonprofit Turning Point, Crystal Clanton – who is Black — texted a colleague, "I HATE BLACK PEOPLE ... I hate Blacks. End of story."

MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace returned to the airwaves Monday and was quick to convey her disgust at Donald Trump using courtrooms and courthouses to increase engagement in his 2024 election and score more campaign cash.

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-MO) kicked off the conversation looking at the big cash demands coming from multiple court cases, which she argued prop up a victimhood narrative he uses to squeeze supporters for donations.

Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and special prosecutor Nathan Wade were slammed with harassing phone calls over the weekend after one of former President Donald Trump's attorneys put their contact information in a public court filing, according to a new report.

Willis and Wade, according to CNN's Zachary Cohen, were ultimately forced to change their numbers.

Special counsel Jack Smith has a new source he says showcases the egregiousness of former President Donald Trump's concealment of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago: special counsel Robert Hur's report on President Joe Biden.

Hur's report, which concluded with no charges after investigating documents that were found at Biden's Delaware home and University of Pennsylvania office, attracted political attention for its attacks on Biden's age and memory. Less discussed was the fact that Hur, a Trump appointee, said Biden's conduct wasn't nearly as serious as the former president's.

Republican National Committee Chair Ronna Romney McDaniel has given an official date for her departure from that position: Friday, March 8. McDaniel's co-chair at the RNC, Drew McKissick, is leaving as well.

Former President Donald Trump has made no secret who he would like to see replace them: Michael Whatley (who heads the North Carolina Republican Party) as chairman and his daughter-in-law Lara Trump as co-chair.

Donald Trump may be overwhelmingly popular with his MAGA base, but according to columnist Heather Digby Parton, their support doesn't suggest the near-invincibility the media claims it does.

"He must expand his coalition and he's not getting that done," the Salon writer argued in her Monday column. "In every state so far, he has underperformed expectations."

Donald Trump is claiming prosecutorial misconduct and selected prosecution in his federal cases — and his lawyers are using it as a tactic.

Trump's legal team filed claims of political bias, then said that to prove it they need access to all documents from the Justice Department about the case.

Donald Trump ally and election-denying lawyer Ken Chesebro lied to Michigan prosecutors when he claimed he never used one of his social media accounts, a new report suggests — he had a "burner" account on the site "X," which contradicts what he told the prosecutors.

Harvard constitutional law professor Laurence Tribe explained the revelation means Chesebro's legal troubles have just begun — and it will likely mean more charges.

Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley lashed out at former President Donald Trump after he pushed to install his daughter-in-law, Lara, as Republican National Committee co-chair.

Following her loss in the South Carolina primary, Haley used a new line of attack in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Monday. She argued Trump was transforming the Republican Party.

Pointing to his “long history of making public and inflammatory remarks” about his legal cases, New York prosecutors in Donald Trump's hush money criminal case asked Monday for a gag order to be imposed on the former president.

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg has requested that Trump be barred from making statements about potential witnesses, prospective jurors and prosectors related to the case, the Associated Press reported.

Former President Donald Trump is arguing that his position of wealth means he shouldn't be required to post bond in the E. Jean Carroll defamation case — and Judge Lewis Kaplan is asking Carroll's attorneys to respond to the claim.

"Mr. Trump has moved for an 'administrative stay' of enforcement pending the filing and disposition of any post-trial motions that he may file. He seeks that relief without posting any security," wrote Kaplan in an order signed over the weekend.

Former President Donald Trump filed a notice of appeal against the verdict in his New York fraud trial on Monday, prompting legal experts to debate what, if any, is his legal strategy.

When asked about the filing, former federal prosecutor Glenn Kirschner summed it up: "It says absolutely nothing."
