The former president returns to the scene of the alleged crime

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut following Thursday’s breaking news out of Washington, DC. Donald Trump, for the third time this year, entered a courthouse, stood before a judge, and pleaded “not guilty” to his alleged crimes. Unlike the previous two instances, the location of Thursday’s arraignment tells its own story, because the former president essentially returned to the scene of the alleged crime. The DC federal courthouse stands in the shadow of the U.S. Capitol where Trump’s efforts to subvert our democracy, following his failed 2020 presidential bid, culminated in the insurrection at that very building. Sitting just feet away from Trump as he entered his not guilty plea was special counsel Jack Smith. The next hearing was set for August 28 before Judge Tanya Chutkan who will oversee the trial. Rep. Jamie Raskin and more join The ReidOut to discuss this historic third indictment of former president Donald Trump.
