As Donald Trump faces weeks, if not months, in a courtroom for the 91 charges brought against him across four different indictments, the former president has promised that he’d “absolutely” testify in court if asked. Of course, the “Morning Joe” crew doesn’t buy a second of that, as they all audibly groaned at hearing that clip on Thursday morning.
Calling into “The Hugh Hewitt Show” on Wednesday, Trump said that he’d testify on his own behalf and, though he wouldn’t give Hewitt an idea of what his answers would be, went back to his typical false claim that he’s “totally covered under the law.” That prompted the “Morning Joe” hosts to all start groaning in unison, cutting off the audio.
“I mean, he’s lying on so many levels,” Scarborough said exhaustedly. “First of all, he will never testify. He’ll say ‘In two weeks! I am going to testify.

The first of Donald Trump’s four upcoming criminal trials has been set for March 4, just one day before Super Tuesday. But, on this Tuesday morning, “Morning Joe” host Willie Geist wondered if that date actually helps Trump’s claims of biased treatment.
Speaking to MSNBC legal analyst Joyce Vance, Geist posed the question of whether Judge Tanya Chutkan should’ve considered Super Tuesday when picking a date for the federal trial (this one regarding Trump’s efforts to overturn the 2020 election).
“Because the case that Donald Trump and his lawyers have made is that this is the Biden Justice Department trying to intervene in the election and prevent Donald Trump from being reelected,” Geist explained. “And in some ways, it makes his case for him.”
He continued, “When he says ‘Look I should be out campaigning, this is a big day on the 5th, the next day. Instead I...

Alex Wagner’s primetime debut on MSNBC scored 2 million total viewers on Tuesday night, which blew CNN’s 9 p.m. hour out of the water but wasn’t enough to surpass Sean Hannity on Fox News.
The show — which featured guests Mark Leibovich, Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Illinois) and Joyce Vance — managed about 183,000 viewers in the key cable news 25-54 demographic. That’s compared to “CNN Tonight,” which drew a total audience of about 866,000 and 176,000 in the key demo, according to Nielsen.
It should come as no surprise that Fox News Channel continues to dominate during primetime. In the 9 p.m. slot, “Hannity” scored about 3.1 million total viewers. Of those, 404,000 were in the demo.
“Hannity” beat MSNBC and CNN combined in both total viewers and demo viewers.

Alex Wagner’s debut as MSNBC’s Tuesday to Friday successor to Rachel Maddow drew an estimated 2 million viewers.
That was a solid number for the network, and its most watched show on Tuesday. It topped CNN Tonight, which had 866,000.
Fox News’ Hannity still handily won the timeslot with 3.1 million, a figure that was more than its two cable news rivals combined.
Wagner’s debut audience was a 27 dropoff from the 2.75 million for The Rachel Maddow Show on Monday. But that is not as big of an audience decline from MSNBC’s previous Tuesday to Friday occupant, MSNBC Prime, which featured a rotating series of hosts. Maddow has been MSNBC’s top rated show, and is the only non-Fox News show to have made it to the top five cable news shows last month.
Maddow announced in the spring that she was cutting back her schedule to one night a week,...

MSNBC is taking some heat today after a panelist on an afternoon discussion program falsely stated that Fox News is not airing live coverage of former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s testimony before two Senate panels this week.
Rick Wilson, a longtime Republican strategist and author of Everything Trump Touches Dies, said during a Deadline White House panel today, “Fox isn’t covering the hearings, which should also tell you how scared they are about what could happen on [Wednesday] morning.” Program host Nicolle Wallace could be heard interjecting, “Really?” as Wilson continued. “It’s going to be a very interesting and consequential moment. They’re apparently not gonna take them live — everybody else is taking them live.”
Fox News has been running a 30-second promo for its live coverage of Mueller’s testimony; watch it below.
Wilson continued talking about Mueller and Attorney General Bill Barr for another half-minite, and when he finished,...
