Politics

As a new authoritarian movement rises in American politics, stoked by one of the country’s most outrageous demagogues, there is an all-out international manhunt for an American traitor. The U.S. Army’s Nazi war crimes trials in Germany have been infiltrated by a spy -- a mole for the other side. A gruesome foreign influence operation unfolds in Washington. A blackmail plot turns deadly in the U.S. Senate. A Hail Mary scheme to stop the counting of the Electoral College votes rattles democracy’s cage. With the line between the violent ultra-right and mainstream American politics fraying beyond recognition, with the FBI always one step behind their quarry, Americans of all stripes step up to confront a seemingly unstoppable, ascendant, anti-democratic force.

Trump lashes out with lies after felony conviction

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with how for the first time in American history, a jury is deciding whether a former president committed felonies. Plus we discuss how, after deliberations began, the jury made several requests to the judge. Meanwhile, Donald Trump and his defenders are bracing for the verdict by attacking the judge, lying about the jury instructions, and increasingly portraying Trump as a martyr. Plus, new reporting on Supreme Court Justice Sam Alito's insurrectionist flags show that he is now throwing his wife even further under the bus, and refusing to recuse from Trump cases, earning a pat on the head from Trump himself. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.

Trump's legal fate is in the hands of the jury

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the closing arguments in the historic first-ever criminal trial of a former U.S. president, Donald Trump. The prosecution argues that the case comes down to three things that they claim to have proven -- that there were in fact false business records, that the false business records were intended to cover up a conspiracy related to the 2016 election, and that Donald Trump was personally involved. As expected, the defense focused heavily on Michael Cohen’s credibility in their closing arguments. We also cover the global condemnation, which is at a fever pitch, after an Israeli airstrike hit a camp for displaced civilians in Rafah. Listen now to this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
