Three former Trump administration officials who vocally criticized the former president in the aftermath of the Jan. 6, 2021 attack on the U.S. Capitol in a joint interview on Sunday warned he represents a danger to democracy if he is reelected to a second term. Former White House Communications Director Alyssa Farah Griffin, former White House deputy press secretary Sarah Matthews and former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson spoke to ABC News's Jonathan Karl about their experiences cooperating with the Jan. 6 select committee and about their concerns about democracy. |

Raskin declined to say whether Maine's decision to kick Trump off the 2024 ballot under the 14th Amendment will make him a "martyr" on CNN's "State of the Union." Maine joined with Colorado to become the second state to remove the former president from its ballot last week, claiming that Trump is disqualified under the 14th Amendment. |

Sununu said Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union" that Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows was motivated to kick Trump off the ballot due to her own career goals. Sununu, a frequent critic of the former president, said that the decision will likely only boost his campaign as he continues to play the "victim card." |

Raskin said he thinks "anybody looking at this in any kind of dispassionate, reasonable way would say if your wife was involved in the big lie and claiming that Donald Trump actually won the presidential election and been agitating for that and participating in the events leading up to Jan. 6, that you shouldn't be participating." |

"Well, she cleared it up quickly, right," Sununu told Bash when asked if Haley's initial response was a mistake. "Obviously, if something needs to be cleared up a bit, you know you wish you had said it a little differently the first time but it was quickly cleared up." |

Fetterman said in an interview that aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press" that social media was the "accelerant" that made his depression worse. He said he "made the mistake" of checking social media after the election in 2022, which raised questions on how being in Congress will change his and his family's lives. |

"I think the responsibility belongs with parents, not the government," Colorado Gov. Jared Polis (D) said when asked in an interview on NBC News's "Meet the Press" whether he would be open to more restrictions on social media in his state. |

"Well, when – when it got released where I was and where it was going, it was – it was a big story," he said. "And so, I had assumed that that would be the end of my career. And I don't know what that – what kind of impact that would have on my family or anything, so I – I really didn't know what would happen at that point." |
