'Wow': MSNBC panel stunned by Trump's deterioration since 2019 speech
Raw StoryAccusations made five years ago by Donald Trump against John Kerry have resurfaced after his alleged post-presidency conversations with Vladimir Putin were revealed. The former president has spoken at least seven times with the Russian president since leaving office in 2021, according to Bob Woodward's new book, "War," and panelists on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" recalled Trump demanding Kerry's prosecution in 2019 for urging Iranian officials to remain in the nuclear deal he helped secure as secretary of state and that the former president's administration had exited. Producers rolled a clip of Trump in the Oval Office accusing Kerry of violating the Logan Act, a rarely invoked federal statute dating to 1799 that prohibits unauthorized private diplomacy with foreign nations, and he falsely alleged that he had urged Iran not to engage with the GOP administration. "That's a violation of the Logan Act," Trump told reporters at the time. That if Donald Trump loses this time around, he's still there, perhaps as he tried to present in that debate, a more palatable version of Donald Trump going forward."
