Donald Trump’s New York criminal trial is back in session Tuesday, as Judge Merchan fines Trump $9000 for gag order violations. Last week, David Pecker wrapped up his testimony, detailing the catch and kill scheme, and jurors also heard from Trump’s assistant, Rhona Graff, and bank executive Gary Farro. After examining the art of cross-examination, veteran prosecutors Andrew Weissmann and Mary McCord note the options available to Judge Merchan as he hears a second set of alleged gag order violations this Thursday. Plus: what Walt Nauta’s grand jury testimony indicates in the Florida documents case.

For further reading: here is Judge Merchan’s decision on the first set of gag order motions.

Megyn Kelly is joined by Piers Morgan, host of "Piers Morgan Uncensored," to discuss his viral confrontation with “Crackhead Barney,” her harassment of Alec Baldwin, whether it's all just a performance and what it says about Palestinian support, why we've seen a rise of antisemitism after October 7, the challenges of both legal and illegal immigration in American and the U.K., how petty the prosecution of former president Donald Trump in New York City is, why Bill Clinton’s affair was more egregious, Meghan Markle's continued victimhood, and more. Then Harmeet Dhillon, founder of Dhillon Law Group, joins to discuss the arguments about "presidential immunity" before the Supreme Court today, the major implications for Trump's pending legal cases, how it could impact other past presidents, why Harvey Weinstein's conviction being overturned could help Trump in his New York trial, and more. Then Sara Gonzales, host of "Sara Gonzales Unfiltered,” and Josh Hammer, host of "America on Trial with Josh Hammer,” join to discuss President Biden's embarrassing "pause" gaffe and how it could affect the election, the staged “four more years” chant, how our enemies must be laughing at us, what to do with antisemitic students on campuses, and more.

The call came in the dead of night. “Are you on your own?” the man said. “I’ve got in with some bad people and they’ve locked me in a flat and they want £5,000 to release me.” The caller was Mark Menzies, the Conservative MP for Fylde in Lancashire.

The Times investigation reveals a litany of allegations involving sex, drugs and a drunk dog. Mark Menzies disputes all the allegations, and says he “fully complied with all the rules for declarations.”

A New York Times investigation has found that a group of Republican operatives used robocalls to raise $89 million on behalf of veterans, police officers and firefighters.

David A. Fahrenthold, an investigative reporter for The Times, explains how they actually spent the money and the legal loophole that allowed them to do that.

Guest: David A. Fahrenthold, an investigative reporter for The New York Times.

Background reading: 

• A group of conservative operatives using sophisticated robocalls raised millions of dollars from donors. Instead of using the money to promote issues and candidates, nearly all of it went to pay the firms making the calls and the operatives themselves.
• How “scam PAC” fund-raisers skirt election rules and deceive donors.

Trump's indictment may be tied to his hush money payments, but it's also bound up with democracy concerns. If one more shoe had dropped after Access Hollywood, there may have never been a President Trump. Plus, the Dobbs effect continues in Wisconsin. Ben Wittes joins Charlie Sykes today.

President Donald Trump has been arrested, arraigned, and we've seen the indictment. And what did we find? Megyn Kelly explains how weak the case is against former President Trump, before welcoming in legal experts Arthur Aidala, Dave Aronberg, and Brad Smith to talk about whether the whole case will get dismissed, the need to know what the underlying felony is, if a campaign finance violation is even applicable, whether the hush money payment could be proven to be trying to influence the election, the media circus inside and outside the courtroom, whether Michael Cohen could conceivably testify, Trump's comments about the judge and DA, and more. Then Rep. Byron Donalds of Florida joins to talk about James Comey and the media's glee about the arrest, Trump vs. Desantis, hypocrisy comparing treatment of Hillary Clinton and Trump, President Biden smirking rather than commenting on the indictment, the Trump DOJ not going after Hillary Clinton politically, how Trump will use this prosecution to his political advantage, and more.

When we left you Trump was on the cusp of entering the Manhattan criminal court as an arrested man.

That didn't go well.

A door was flung shut in his face. And the indignities began. In this special all-nighter episode of The News Agents we take you through the charges against him, the reaction, the defence and the speech to his supporters in Mar-a-Lago.

We speak to a key member of Trump's campaign team who was with him in the wings moments before he went on stage.
