Episode 149

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut as we continue to follow the breaking news that Donald Trump has received indictment number three courtesy of the DC grand jury investigating his efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Never has a president of the United States refused to relinquish power until Trump. Never has a former president come up with a conspiracy that involves having their vice president overturn the will of the people through the use of a fake electors scheme until Trump. Never has a former president incited an insurrection with armed extremists to storm the U.S. Capitol until Trump. No U.S. president has ever been indicted, before Trump. For Trump this is indictment number three, and in many ways it is the most historically significant one. Chair of the former House January 6th Committee, Rep. Bennie Thompson, reacts to these historical developments, joining our expert guests on this breaking news edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
