As speculation continues about just who Donald Trump will pick as his vice presidential running mate, "The View's" Alyssa Farah Griffin suggested the Arkansas governor may be just the loyalist he wants.

MAGA is up in arms over the idea that Trump could choose Nikki Haley as a running mate. Griffin explained that conservatives see her as more of an establishment politician than one who bucks the system.

Alina Habba’s “shocking” courtroom antics in Donald Trump’s civil defamation trial showcase just what kind of client the former president makes, a legal expert contends.

Former U.S. Attorney Joyce Vance professed herself stunned at the blustering blunders Habba made as she cross-examined E. Jean Carroll, the writer Trump has been found liable of sexually abusing in the 1990s and defaming by denying the attack.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson quickly became a target overnight after admitting to Fox News that not only has he been talking about border legislation "pretty frequently" to ex-president Donald Trump, who adamantly opposes the bipartisan Senate border bill that would also deliver aid to Ukraine and Israel, but he agrees with him, despite trying to make the border the number one issue in the country.

"The president actually just got off the phone with me right before the show," Fox News host Laura Ingraham, referring to ex-president Donald Trump, told Speaker Johnson Wednesday night. "And he said he has spoken to you about this deal and that he is against it. And he urged you to be against this deal. He was extremely – President Trump was extremely adamant about that. Your reaction to that, given the fact that, look, he already knows how to do this enforcement stuff. You don't need some new bill coming out of the Senate to get the border enforced."

Trump attorney Alina Habba repeatedly drew the ire of Judge Lewis Kaplan on Thursday during her second day of cross-examining E. Jean Carroll.

As reported by Matthew Russell Lee at Inner City Press, Habba grilled Carroll about past sexually explicit tweets that she had written despite the fact that such tweets had no bearing on whether former President Donald Trump sexually abused and defamed her, as a jury last year found him liable for doing.

With Donald Trump all but certain to be the 2024 Republican presidential nominee, concerns are growing among Republican Party insiders over who he will select to be his running mate.

During a recent Fox News town hall, the former president claimed he had already made his pick but would not be making an announcement until a later date.

Trump attorney Alina Habba faced repeated objections while questioning writer E. Jean Carroll in the defamation trial against former President Donald Trump.

After a rough start in her cross-examination of Carroll on Thursday, Habba continued to face problems throughout the morning court session.

Donald Trump's lawyer, Alina Habba, got off to a rough start on Thursday in the defamation trial of her boss — who took a break from personally attending so he could attend his mother-in-law's funeral.

The former president has been sued for defamation by E. Jean Carroll. He has already been found liable of sexual abuse and defamation at a separate trial.

Donald Trump behaved like a villain straight out of central casting when he appeared in a New York City courtroom Thursday as a jury heard evidence in his defamation case filed by author E. Jean Carroll, according to an observer.

MSNBC legal analyst Lisa Rubin has been in the courtroom, where she said Trump glowered and glared at Carroll, who he was found liable of sexually abusing and then defaming in a previous trial. Salon columnist Amanda Marcotte said the four-times-indicted former president could not have acted more guilty if he tried.

After watching clips of Donald Trump's "meandering" speech in Portsmouth, New Hampshire on Wednesday night, MSNBC's Willie Geist responded with a stunned "wow" — and he and MSNBC co-host Jonathan Lemire suggested it was just one more example that the former president's mind appears to be going.

With Trump jumping from topic to topic and rambling about subjects that included "liquid gold," former GOP speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) "driving grannies" off cliffs — and then bringing up his mother-in-law dying — the two hosts suggested the former president is handing Democrats more ammo about his mental decline.

In legal terminology, "stare decisis" means "respect for precedent" or "let the decision rest." But the U.S. Supreme Court's hard-right supermajority, according to critics, threw "stare decisis" to the wind when it overturned Roe v. Wade after 49 years, outlawed the use of affirmative action in college admissions, and undermined gun control laws.

Slate's Mark Joseph Stern, in an article published this week, warns that the Roberts Court is likely to attack another precedent and "strike down" government agencies' regulatory powers.

A GOP candidate for Congress who is going head-to-head with Lauren Boebert to represent Colorado's 4th district was arrested in 2022 on suspicion of driving drunk while in possession of a gun, ABC Denver reported.

Mike Lynch, who is also the state's House Minority Leader, pleaded guilty to a lesser charge of driving while ability impaired and was sentenced to 18 months of probation, according to a newly discovered Colorado State Patrol report. He is still on probation.

MSNBC's Joe Scarborough called out House Republicans for doing Vladimir Putin's bidding, seemingly at the behest of Donald Trump.

House Speaker Mike Johnson doubled down on his opposition to a bipartisan Senate border deal that would include aid to Ukraine, saying he had spoken frequently with the former president on the topic, and the "Morning Joe" host said that dynamic was suspicious.

Morning Joe co-host Mika Brezinski went on a long rant Thursday aimed at former Gov. Nikki Haley (R-SC) for refusing to acknowledge that Donald Trump has been found liable of sexually assaulting New York writer E. Jean Carroll.

In an interview with CNN's Dana Bash, Haley claimed she was oblivious to the details of the widely reported Trump defamation case that is ongoing in New York as she and the ex-president battle for the 2024 GOP presidential nomination.
