Convicted felon Donald Trump gave Sean Hannity the silliest solution to drug addiction and alcoholism ever uttered by a political candidate. DONALD TRUMP: I understand the addiction world.

MSNBC legal analyst Andrew Weissmann discussed what Trump might be in for when he has to sit down with his probation officer this Monday.

As Weissmann made clear to host Jen Psaki, that meeting may include a whole lot of questions Trump doesn't want to have to answer: PSAKI: I want to ask you about, and it was right before we came on the air, there was some exclusive reporting by NBC News that Trump is scheduled for a Zoom interview with the probation officer tomorrow.

"You talk about annexation, so I want to bring this up because there are reports that what President Trump plans to do to end that conflict is to potentially push Ukraine to give up Crimea, parts of Donbas," Bream noted.
