Maddow connects Trump's NATO lies to Putin's claim that Hitler had to invade Poland

MSNBC host Rachel Maddow began her Monday show by connecting the dots between Jair Bolsonaro, Donald Trump, and Russian leader Vladimir Putin and his hatred of NATO, including his claim that perhaps Poland deserved what happened when Adolf Hitler invaded them, starting World War II.

Trump has spent the better part of the last eight years incorrectly identifying how NATO is funded. It's unknown if he doesn't understand it or doesn't remember when his foreign policy advisers explained it to him.

Biden's lawyer reveals what really happened in special counsel interview

Special counsel Robert Hur's report on President Joe Biden declined to press any charges, but controversially veered into a number of personal attacks on the president, at one point even suggesting he was unable to recall crucial life information and that he was unchargeable because would put on the act of an enfeebled old man for any jury.

That's not at all accurate to how the interview really went, said Biden's personal lawyer Bob Bauer in an interview with MSNBC's Jen Psaki, herself a veteran of the Biden administration.

'Extremely unlikely' Trump's back-pocket delay option will work: former judge

When former President Donald Trump filed a request for the Supreme Court to stay the D.C. Circuit's ruling against his immunity claim from the federal election conspiracy case, he suggested that even the Supreme Court itself should wait if they can get the D.C. Circuit to rehear the case en banc, or by the entirety of the judicial body on the circuit.

But Trump should be astonished if he gets the appellate court to do that, former federal judge Nancy Gertner told CNN's Anderson Cooper on Monday.

'The Supreme Court is on trial': Pelosi urges justices to meet the moment on Trump

The Supreme Court has the whole nation watching it, former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) told CNN's Anderson Cooper — and they need to make the right decision and not drag out former President Donald Trump's criminal trial for election conspiracy any further than they need to.

Additionally, she added, Justice Clarence Thomas — whose wife was heavily involved in the effort to overturn the election — needs to bow out of this altogether.

'He is desperate': Liz Cheney says Trump will stop at nothing to silence his subordinates

Former President Donald Trump is "desperate" to get a stay at the Supreme Court because he doesn't want people who once worked for him to tell their stories to the American people, former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) wrote on X Monday.

The former president filed his motion asking the justices to block the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals' decision that he is not immune from prosecution in the federal election interference case, just ahead of the deadline to do so.

Trump doubles down on war with NATO — and thinks Ukraine is already a member

Republicans and Democrats came together over the weekend to attack former President Donald Trump for his comments that he'd encourage a war with a NATO ally. The United States is in NATO, the group that links together Europe and the United States in the event of a war.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has long attacked NATO and sought to undermine it. Trump appears to believe that every country must pay an equal share, but that isn't the way that it works. Funds given to NATO from nations are calculated using a cost-share formula that Trump doesn't appear to fully comprehend. The money isn't sent as a check directly to NATO as he believes.

Trump's own ex-lawyer calls his immunity case 'weak' — and then 'eviscerated' the briefs

Donald Trump's briefs aren't cutting it.

Trump's attempt to win over the Supreme Court to press pause on his immunity claim as it relates to his federal election subversion case in the lead to Jan. 6, 2021, was so "eviscerated" by the three-judge panel of the D.C. Court of Appeals that it's hard to see how they could override them.

Trump whines to SCOTUS he can't talk to voters if he's stuck in a criminal courtroom

One of the key arguments made by former President Donald Trump in his filing to the Supreme Court asking for a stay on the D.C. Circuit's ruling he is not immune from prosecution is that a criminal trial would deprive him of vital time he needs to spend campaigning for voters in 2024.

"The D.C. Circuit’s extraordinary decision to return the mandate to the district court to proceed to trial imposes another grave species of irreparable injury — the threat to the First Amendment rights of President Trump, his supporters and volunteers, and all American voters, who are entitled to hear from the leading candidate for President at the height of the Presidential campaign," the filing stated — logic which would appear to argue against it ever being permissible to charge presidential candidates with a crime in an election year.
