Recapping Michael Cohen's testimony during Trump's trial Monday, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow simulated puking off-camera when Trump bragged about how the women wanted him at the golf tournament instead of Ben Roethlisberger.

Ballot drop boxes have been popular in Wisconsin for decades. And like every other state, there was a tremendous surge in their popularity in 2020 during the COVID pandemic. Then Trump came along with his Big Lie and tried to cast dispersion and doubt on drop boxes, saying they allowed tremendous amounts of fraud.

Week 4 of testimony in Donald Trump's first criminal trial (of 4) started off with the most anticipated - and volatile - witness: Michael Cohen.
