All in starts right now. Good evening from new york. Im chris hayes. It was a big day for the future of american democracy. We will get to that significant action in a moment, but before we do, just give me a second to go back to the context of what happened in the last election. I think it has been obscured by the sabotage and disinformation and violent insurrection unlike anything weve seen in the history of the country stoked by the former president. Remember this, last november, right, once in a cent ray pandemic, we got a glimpse of what a full or fuller participation version of our democracy would look like because due to the pandemic, state after state, jurisdiction after jurisdiction, and i should note this is both democratic and republican there were fights over this. But across the board, more or less on the whole in the aggregate, all these places did something praise worthy and novel. They took steps to make it easier to vote. They did this by expanding eligibility for mail
Glimpse into the defenses lawyers will make on the stand. Here is jonna lauro on meet the press. The defense is quite simple. Donald trump, president trump, believed in his heart of hearts that he had won that election. And as any american citizen, he had a right to speak out under the First Amendment.

Alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 president ial election. The twice impeached former president already hit with two other criminal indictments, pleading not guilty. When it comes to the second federal indictment, trump refuses to remain silent. In a social media post yesterday trump threatened, in all caps, if you go after me, im coming after you. Which got a response from the Special Counsels office. Overnight, attorneys asked the federal judge overseeing the case to issue a protective order on trump and his legal team to limit the information they can share publicly about the case. All of this comes as trump faces a trial on four Felony Counts laid out in Special Counsel jack, smith, damning 45page indictment. Those counts include conspiracy to defraud the United States government. Conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding. Obstruction of an attempt to obstruct an official proceeding. Conspiracy against the right to bow and to have one vote counted. That fourth charge falls un
