‘Morning Joe’ Says ‘Very Easy’ Obstruction Charges Are Coming for Trump: ‘The Small Signs Are Adding Up’ (Video)

In addition to promising pardons to those involved with the January 6 attacks on the Capitol, Donald Trump has now promised to donate to the legal fund of the defendants still awaiting their fate. But the hosts and panelists of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” are a bit skeptical on that promise, considering it would mean the twice-indicted former president would have to “give away any of his own money.”In discussing Trump’s latest pledge on Monday morning, host Mika Brzezinski called it “pretty twisted,” but Jonathan Lemire was largely unsurprised.“The bottom just keeps getting lower.

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” blasted Elise Stefanik for introducing resolutions to formally expunge the impeachments of former President Donald Trump.On Thursday, Republican Congresswoman Stefanik and Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene introduced two resolutions that would erase the Dec. 18, 2019, and Jan. 13, 2021 impeachments of Trump as if the “unconstitutional” articles had never passed the full House of Representatives.“It’s totally unclear if such resolutions are even legally possible,” co-host Mika Brzezinski said.

Joe Scarborough has some advice for Republicans running for president: stop trying to be Donald Trump. According to the MSNBC host, the strategy he used to win in 2016 is “never gonna work again.”Scarborough’s advice came on Friday’s episode of “Morning Joe,” as he and his colleagues discussed someone who “really kind of modeled herself after the Trump blueprint,” Kari Lake. The former Arizona gubernatorial candidate — who, like Trump, lost her election and then baselessly claimed for months that the election rigged and she actually did win — is facing a new lawsuit in Maricopa County for defamation of an election official.In discussing Lake, Scarborough noted that just about everyone he ever talked to about her during campaign season thought she was incredibly skilled, and added that “if she was a mainstream Republican,” she could’ve won.

MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough couldn’t help but laugh at Donald Trump’s confusion over his own policy.In an interview with Fox News’s Brett Baier that aired Tuesday night, Baier tripped Trump up by deflating his recollection of Alice Johnson, a woman sentenced to jail for selling marijuana. The former president said he used his pardon powers to commute Johnson’s sentence in 2018, but Baier quickly pointed out that Johnson would face the death penalty under Trump’s proposal of imposing the death penalty on convicted drug dealers.“That’s a perfect example of just how clueless Donald Trump is on policy.

read more in-depth about it here, but Republicans aren’t happy, saying Hunter Biden got nothing more than “a slap on the wrist” because he’s the president’s son.“Just putting it out there, Ivanka and Jared, like, worked in the White House.

Melania and Barron Trump were recently spotted out together. The pair, who’ve cultivated a close mother and son relationship over the years, rarely appear in photos together, with both guarding their presences from the public. Over the past week, as Donald Trump celebrated his 77th birthday, Melania and Barron were photographed leaving Trump Tower, in New York City.

As the fallout from Donald Trump’s second indictment continues, the “Morning Joe” crew is still amazed that it’s even happening. Not because the twice-impeached former president doesn’t deserve the charges, but rather, because he could’ve avoided them entirely had he just cooperated with authorities.During Friday morning’s discussion, MSNBC political analyst Elise Jordan joined the panel, discussing Mitt Romney’s reaction to the indictment with Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough.

his second indictment on Tuesday, Donald Trump remains in the race for president in 2024. But, at this point, former senator Claire McCaskill doesn’t think he’s actually running for president — he’s just “running for pardon.”McCaskill’s thoughts came on Wednesday morning’s episode of “Morning Joe,” as Joe Scarborough and his team applauded a Republican congressman from Arizona for adding his voice to the few Republicans who are condemning Trump’s actions.

Ivanka Trump, who recently wore an all-white ensemble, has channeled Kate Middleton’s fashion again.

As presidential hopeful Donald Trump prepares to be arraigned for an indictment on Tuesday (his second indictment so far, if you’re keeping score), House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is still staunchly defending him. But, for the hosts of “Morning Joe,” any attempt at getting McCarthy’s opinion on the situation at this point is “like fighting with an idiot.”The hosts of the MSNBC talk show were particularly irritated on Tuesday morning by McCarthy’s glib response to a reporter who asked if it was “a good look for the former president to have boxes in a bathroom,” after pictures were released in Trump’s latest indictment showing that, indeed, he kept piles of boxes of classified documents in a bathroom at Mar-a-Lago.In response, McCarthy attempted to deflect to President Biden, sassing back, “I don’t know, is it a good picture to have boxes in a garage that opens up all the time? A bathroom door locks.”“It’s like fighting with an idiot,” Joe Scarborough deadpanned after watching the clip.

Cuomo” host would affirm her hope that Donald Trump would end up in prison.“Ashley” from San Francisco called into Cuomo’s 8 p.m. show Friday, and loaded her question in a way that froze the former CNN primetime anchor in his tracks: “Based on your legal expertise, what evidence in the indictment is most likely to lead to prison time?” she asked.Cuomo started to answer one way, then stopped himself:“Prison time? None,” he said. “This isn’t going to be about prison time.

Joe Scarborough was on a tear on Monday morning, raging over those who are still defending former president Trump amid that second indictment. Among those on the receiving end of Scarborough’s ire was The New York Post, after they ran a headline ending in “What About the Bidens?” on their front page.In full, the front page headline of Monday’s New York Post read “Trump was indicted but … WHAT ABOUT THE BIDENS?” It featured images of both President Biden and his son Hunter, and opinions from House speaker Kevin McCarthy and Post columnist Miranda Devine, complaining about a “double standard” (despite the fact that there is in fact an investigation ongoing into the classified documents found at President Biden’s homes).“Listen.

alleged mishandling of confidential documents. The former White House adviser "will be staying far away from daddy," a source told Page Six. A separate source said, "Ivanka has disappeared."Ivanka has already declared that she will not be a part of her dad's 2024 presidential campaign, and she's been fairly apolitical since leaving the White House. After the former POTUS was indicted in the spring on charges related to a hush money payment to adult film star Stormy Daniels, Ivanka issued a brief statement.

Donald Trump’s second indictment. According to the MSNBC host, those responses are nothing but “sleazy” sentiments that demonstrate an “absolute contempt for the United States of America.”The second indictment officially came down on Thursday, as part of Jack Smith’s ongoing investigation into the mishandling of classified documents that were eventually seized from Mar-a-Lago.

With more and more Republican presidential candidates who once supported Trump now publicly turning on him, “Morning Joe” host Joe Scarborough has a hunch as to why: According to the MSNBC host, it might me they know that more charges are coming.As part of Thursday morning’s discussion on “Morning Joe,” the hosts marveled at the fact that both former New Jersey governor Chris Christie and Trump’s own former VP Mike Pence have effectively come out swinging against him in their campaigns, with Pence saying on Wednesday that Trump “should never” be president again.“I must say, I didn’t expect Mike Pence to be as aggressive as he was yesterday,” Scarborough said.

CNN reported Wednesday based on unnamed sources. Farah, who resigned from her role as communications director following the 2020 election, has been outspoken against former President Donald Trump since becoming a media personality.According to the report, the special counsel questioned Farah about Trump’s state of mind leading up to the Capitol riots, in addition to his knowledge of the false claims of election fraud he was touting following his loss to President Joe Biden. Farah was reportedly surprised by the prosecutors’ particular interest in Trump’s mindset following the election. Additionally, the prosecutors asked the former White House aide about former White House chief of staff Mark Meadows’ involvement in the Capitol attacks, as well as the efforts to coerce then-Vice President Mike Pence into overturning the election, according to CNN’s sources.Last week, Farah said on CNN that she played a key role in getting former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, who served under Meadows, to return to testify further before federal prosecutors on June 28 following previous interviews.

George Conway is adding his expert legal opinion to the many who say charges are likely for former president Donald Trump for alleged mishandling of classified documents at Mar-a-Lago.
