Trump immunity hearing included citations of lawsuits against Nixon

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with footage that shows that Mitch McConnell knew, back in 2021, that Trump can face criminal charges. Now, Trump’s lawyer is making the absurd argument that a president can commit all kinds of heinous crimes, and remain immune from prosecution forever, unless he’s impeached and convicted. Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) joins Joy Reid with his analysis. Also in this episode, Trump’s rhetoric is having dangerous consequences, as both special counsel Jack Smith and Judge Tanya Chutkan are targets of “swatting.” Next, Trump’s big hope for 2024? He says he hopes the U.S. economy crashes sometime soon, which, of course, would likely leave huge numbers of his supporters broke. All this and more in this edition of The Reidout on MSNBC.
