The most important trial of our lifetimes: the United States of America v. Donald J. Trump

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with what is likely to be not only the most significant criminal case against the twice-impeached, thrice-indicted former president, but also the most important trial of our lifetimes–the United States of America v. Donald J. Trump. On Thursday, Trump will be arraigned in a Washington, D.C. courtroom. He is expected to plead not guilty to four criminal counts. This latest indictment of the former president, handed down by special counsel Jack Smith, is an incredibly detailed and damning account of an attempt to subvert democracy and forcibly overturn the 2020 election. What Jack Smith lays out in the 45-page indictment is a frightening look at just how close we came to losing American democracy over two years ago. Joy Reid and her expert guests bring their potent analyses to these historic developments in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
