Morning Joe reveals he had private chat with Trump after Venezuela attack — and it shocked

MS NOW's Joe Scarborough spoke to Donald Trump for the first time in months after the attack on Venezuela — and the president doubled down on controversial remarks he had made nearly a decade ago.

The "Morning Joe" host said he'd spoken to the president about a half dozen times since his return to the White House last year, but their conversation Monday about the invasion of Venezuela was their first in a few months.

"I called to get the reaction and to see what I might be able to glean on what was coming next," Scarborough said.
