Episode 18

Jen Psaki breaks down the Supreme Court's explosive decision this week to take up Donald Trump's absurd claim that a former president is immune from criminal prosecution. Rep. Jamie Raskin joins Jen to talk about how Trump's friends on the court may have played a role in the decision that will inevitably delay his trial in the Federal election case. MSNBC Legal Analysts Neal Katyal and Andrew Weissmann also join to discuss how Trump's claim of immunity amounts to a get out of jail free card, as well as the possibility that Trump's classified documents trial in Florida will also be delayed. Next, Beto O'Rourke shares his reaction to Trump and Biden's dual visits to the southern border and explains how Democrats should push back against right-wing fearmongering. And as Mitch McConnell announces his departure from his leadership post in the Senate, Jen takes a look back into his legacy and the Frankenstein monster he helped create.
