Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR) was raked over the coals on Friday by MSNBC columnist Michael A. Cohen, for his recent proclamation on social media that "When Donald Trump was president, America was safe, strong, and prosperous."

'Darker view': What Alina Habba's comments reveal about her take on the Supreme Court

Former President Donald Trump's attorney Alina Habba's pressure campaign on Justice Brett Kavanaugh to "step up" in Trump's criminal cases shows she has a twisted, quid pro quo view of the legal system, said former federal prosecutor Joyce Vance on MSNBC Friday.

"You could go on and on, the people who want him there, Clarence Thomas, you could argue his wife has material financial benefits from having a Trump presidency. I just wonder what you make of the fact that this court is operating in a world in which some people believe they owe him and that isn't like a crazy thing to think."
