A prison-bound Donald Trump is living rent-free in Fox News host Jesse Watters's head. And in the vision — the former president is shredded.

"Democrats think locking up Trump locks up America First," Watters quipped with a daring tone. "But it doesn't. Makes it stronger. You ever see the prison bodies on inmates?"

Former President Donald Trump is going to unravel as his sentencing date for his 34 felony convictions approaches, his former attorney and fixer Michael Cohen told MSNBC's Joy Reid on Monday — because he is much more terrified of a potential prison sentence than he is actually letting on.

Judge Juan Merchan has the ability to order prison time in the case, and Manhattan prosecutors have not ruled out pursuing this, although it's also possible he could end up sentenced to probation and fines instead.

A former Republican governor Monday believes conservative attacks on the nation's judicial system after former President Donald Trump's criminal conviction will only lose them key allies and voters in swing states.

Former Arkansas Gov. Asa Hutchinson made this argument to Anderson Cooper on CNN Monday night, days after a New York City jury found Trump guilty of falsifying business records to cover up hush money paid ahead of the 2016 presidential election.

Former President Donald Trump is "toast" if Republican voters abandon him in the general election at anything like the rate they have been up until now in primary contests, wrote longtime Latino GOP political consultant and Lincoln Project co-founder Mike Madrid in a lengthy thread on X Monday evening.

This comes after Trump, who just became the first former U.S. president in history to be convicted on felony charges in New York, has continued to see high numbers of voters bolting in most contests to back former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, despite her having dropped out of the race months ago.

Republicans ringing alarm bells over former President Donald Trump's criminal conviction are making a "big mistake" that could lose him the White House in 2024, their fellow party members say.

Trump's conviction on 34 counts of falsifying business records has fellow Republicans decrying a rigged political system in support for the 77-year-old and his MAGA movement, but one lawmaker wishes they would cry a little less loudly.

An apparent language barrier led several English speakers on Monday to mistakenly claim Mexico’s first female president is “a less Jewish Jew” after she thanked her husband for accompanying her to the polls.

Monday, Mexican citizens elected Claudia Sheinbaum, a member of the leftist Morena party, as the nation’s first female president. According to the New York Times, Sheinbaum, a physicist and former mayor of Mexico City, “won a larger share of the vote than any other presidential candidate in decades, and her party and its allies are within reach of claiming big enough majorities in Congress to enact constitutional changes that have alarmed the opposition.”

Sheinbaum will be predominantly-Catholic Mexico’s first Jewish president. The president-elect has previously described her childhood as secular, telling Enlace Judío, a Mexican Jewish organization, “I grew up without religion.”

Donald Trump's reelection campaign is rolling in the money, he says. And the 45th president isn't being bashful about it.

"RECORD AMOUNT RAISED FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP’S CAMPAIGN IN MAY ALONE – $141 MILLION IN SMALL DONATIONS,
ALMOST $300 MILLION OVERALL," reads the all-capped post by the presumptive Republican nominee.

The chief financial officer of an international newspaper known for pushing pro-Donald Trump conspiracy theories has been indicted on federal money laundering charges, according to federal prosecutors in New York City.

Weidong "Bill" Guan, top accountant for The Epoch Times, is accused of participating in an international scheme to conceal $67 million in "illegally obtained funds to bank accounts" in the name of the company — effectively accusing The Epoch Times itself of being a huge money-laundering operation.

Rep. Madeleine Dean (D-PA) erupted on live television Monday over House Judiciary Committee Republicans she argues are destroying Americans' faith in its political institutions to help an "irrational child of a man," former President Donald Trump.

The committee is a powerful one, she noted, and one on which Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) once served.

Former President Donald Trump made an extraordinary claim in a Fox & Friends interview over the weekend: He never actually called for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton to be locked up. “I didn’t say ‘lock her up,’ but the people said, ‘lock her up, lock her up.’ Then, we won. And I say — and I said pretty openly — I said, ‘all right, come on, just relax, let’s go, we’ve got to make our country great,’” said Trump.

This is "absurd," wrote Bess Levin for Vanity Fair — and there are countless examples of Trump doing just that.

Donald Trump's Georgia election racketeering case almost certainly will not begin before Americans head to the polls to vote for the 47th president, according to legal experts and reports.

That's because a new decision from the Georgia Court of Appeals to tentatively schedule for Oct. 4 oral arguments on an appeal challenging Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis' right to prosecute the case, the Associated Press reported Monday.

It isn't unusual for an expert witness to be paid for testimony, but a new report that former President Donald Trump's media company and campaign have delivered major financial benefits to nine witnesses in his criminal trials is raising concerns.

ProPublica's extensive reporting found Margo Martin, a Trump White House aide, got a 20 percent raise and former Trump golf caddie Dan Scavino was appointed to the Trump Media board after he was subpoenaed.

Former President Donald Trump's conviction on 34 felony counts in the Manhattan hush money case last week has led to a flurry of calls from his allies to get the Supreme Court to step in and save him.

But it's just not that simple, one legal expert told Salon — on the contrary, it would be a "long shot" to even get the court to hear the case, let alone decide anything in his favor.
