"The View" began its Monday show hitting Donald Trump over false information he's shared about the government response to Hurricane Helene — and voicing concern for badly affected North Carolina if it doesn't elect the former president.

On Saturday, Trump was joined by Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk in Butler, Pennsylvania, where he falsely claimed that the Federal Emergency Management Agency had run out of money because President Joe Biden spent it on support for immigrants. He also claimed last week that FEMA was intentionally withholding aid from affected areas that are in Republican states.

Former President Donald Trump appears to be getting into the cryptocurrency business, and the New York Times reports that the "serial entrepreneurs" he has brought in to helm his foray have checkered pasts.

According to the Times, Trump crypto business partners Chase Herro and Zachary Folkman have been "leaving behind a trail of lawsuits and unpaid debt and taxes" in their assorted ventures.

An appeal brought by Elon Musk's X (formerly Twitter) social media platform over special counsel Jack Smith's request for former President Donald Trump's Twitter records without him being notified was denied Monday.

According to NBC News, the case is connected to Smith's investigation into Trump's alleged interference in the 2020 presidential election.

A bombshell court filing by special counsel Jack Smith includes a key detail that shows Donald Trump is playing right into his prosecutor's hands, a legal expert argued Monday.

In their weekly "Jack" podcast, analyst Allison Gill and former deputy director of the FBI, Andy McCabe, cited a piece of the filing in which Smith points to Trump's "disregard for the truth."

A January 6 defendant is complaining to court that it would be unfair to put him on trial before the 2024 election can be held, CBS News' Scott MacFarlane reported on Monday.

Postponing the trial of Jared Wise until January 2025 "would ensure the trial goes forward without a monumental election hanging in the balance," his legal team claimed.

Donald Trump's speeches have grown noticeably darker and less coherent — and New York Times correspondent Peter Baker has tracked the changes using statistics.

The reporter conducted an analysis of the former president's rally speeches dating back to 2015 and found that they had nearly doubled in length, from 45 minutes eight years ago to 82 minutes now. And they show clear signs of advancing age and diminishing mental capacity.

Senate Democrats are fighting for any path they can to save their endangered majority, wrote Hayes Brown for MSNBC — and they are now going to two states that have given them struggles in several recent elections: Texas and Florida.

"The electoral map was never a good one for Senate Democrats this cycle, forced to defend far more seats than their Republican counterparts," wrote Brown. "With the GOP set to claim a seat from retiring Sen. Joe Manchin, I-W.Va., the upper house is already starting from a 50-50 split. The odds for Sen. Jon Tester, D-Mont., pulling off an upset in his now deep-red state have continued to narrow, forcing Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., to look elsewhere for a path to a majority."

Former President Donald Trump's presidential campaign is relying on groups such as Charlie Kirk's Turning Point USA to help turn out voters on election day.

However, the Associated Press reports that many Republican operatives are "terrified" by this prospect, as they do not believe Turning Point is competent enough to pull off such a large-scale operation at a national level.

Residents of a California county are growing increasingly concerned as the election draws near — and a pro-Trump conspiracy theorist has been left to run voting administration, according to a report.

Shasta County, a community in the far north of California that includes the city of Redding, has been inundated with extremists and conspiracy theorists vying for local control of the government for years. Their ability to actually govern is about to be put to the test in a big way, reported the Guardian.

A beloved building belonging to former President Donald Trump appears to be drowning in debt as problematic financial deadlines loom, according to a new financial analysis.

Trump's 63-story high rise at 40 Wall St. in New York City is currently worth $2 million less than the $118 million Trump owes on his $160 million mortgage — and its income continues to plummet, according to a recent Forbes report.

Former President Donald Trump's fundraising emails are growing more unstable as the election draws closer, Chauncey DeVega wrote for Salon.

It's common for emails from both political parties to use overwrought and dramatic language — but, he wrote, there's something different about what Trump is doing — something darker and uglier.

Michael Tomasky of The New Republic on Monday offered some praise to the New York Times for finally writing a lengthy article that dissects former President Donald Trump's mental fitness for the presidency.

In his latest column, Tomasky argued that the Times has been woefully inadequate in covering what should be the dominant story of the 2024 election campaign: Namely, that Trump on the campaign trail sounds, as Tomasky put it, "absolutely insane."
