In a 15-page filing, the attorneys accused Smith and two other federal prosecutors of defying a court's order pausing Trump's federal election subversion trial.

With Donald Trump's last-ditch attempt to delay a second E. Jean Carroll defamation civil trial slapped aside, his lawyers are reportedly scrambling to avoid another multi-million dollar judgment — and their filings are making the judge overseeing the case grow "increasingly impatient."

According to a report from the Daily Beast's Jose Pagliery, the Trump legal team is "grabbing at straws" with their attempt to relitigate the first Carroll defamation lawsuit which ended with a quick verdict ordering the former president to pay her in excess of $5 million.

Donald Trump launched his latest bizarre conspiracy theory Thursday, claiming the influx of migrants at the nation's southern border had been devised to create another election fraud.

And, in an extra weird twist, an apparent typo said the move would affect the 2020 election.

Reacting to a filing Donald Trump's lawyers made to the Supreme Court this week to keep him on the ballot on Colorado after an adverse ruling, former U.S. Attorney Barbara McQuade laughed at their wording that seems to open the door to their client being able to run for office but not serve if he wins.

Appearing on MSNBC, the legal analyst discussed the appeal that revolves around the use in Colorado of the 14th Amendment to bar Trump from running for office due to his part in the Jan. 6 insurrection.

The evangelical lawyer who defended Donald Trump during his first impeachment trial has made $145 million from his association with the former president and right-wing causes— and the cash is still rolling in, according to a new report.

On Thursday morning, the entire MSNBC "Morning Joe" panel piled on Republican lawmakers who are falling in line and endorsing Donald Trump for president — including one who was publically humiliated by the former president when he made a bid to be a speaker of the House.

Reacting to Rep. Tom Emmer (R-MN) throwing his support behind the four-time indicted Trump on Wednesday, MSNBC's Mika Brzezinski pointed to a Trump social media post where he called the GOP lawmaker a "Globalist RINO" who can't be trusted by Republican voters.

Letting Donald Trump remain on the ballot in Colorado and Maine will be a signal to Trump's followers that violence works — and they’re in charge, a columnist warned Thursday.

Salon’s Amanda Marcotte was reacting to “hand-wringing” commentators who worry that ruling that Trump is an insurrectionist who, under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment, has no right to stand for public office will spark angry backlash from the former president’s rabid supporters.

Conservative supporters of former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley's presidential campaign, including billionaire Charles Koch and New Hampshire Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, see her as the GOP's best alternative to primary frontrunner Donald Trump. And Trump, ahead of the New Hampshire primary, is trying to slow down her momentum in that state.

Trump's latest line of attack against "High-Tax Haley" is accusing her of promoting gas taxes in South Carolina. Haley, according to Politico's Lisa Kashinsky, is pushing back.

During his appearance on MSNBC's "Morning Joe," on Thursday morning, attorney George Conway recalled an unusual conversation he had with Donald Trump in 2017 before his inauguration that was indicative of Trump's reasoning for running for president in the first place.

Conway's memory was jogged by host Mika Brzezinski, who prompted him by rehashing all of Trump's many legal troubles.

"You look at Maine, Colorado, the documents case, Georgia, election interference. You look at the civil fraud suit in New York City. you look at E. Jean Carroll and Stormy Daniels," she said. "I mean, there are — I can't think of someone who has more legal challenges facing him. I don't know how many lawyers he has or can get."

"Well, in terms of the criminal cases, I think he's always had this fear of being prosecuted," Conway replied before recalling, "I mean, one of the things — I didn't realize it at the time, but I flew down to Washington on a plane with him before the inauguration, and he asked me, should he fire the U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York?"

Appearing on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Thursday morning, conservative attorney George Conway held up a copy of Donald Trump's appeal to the Supreme Court to stay on the ballot in Colorado, labeled it "bizarre," and then proceeded to tear it apart point by point.

Speaking with hosts Mika Brzezinski and Willie Geist, Conway suggested that Trump's lawyers were in over their heads based on his reading of the document that he seemed to feel is a mess that won't pass legal muster.

Donald Trump’s camp has reached a rare agreement with his opponents in court as they battle to figure out if the former president should be kicked off Colorado’s ballot, a CNN legal expert said Thursday.
