A little field trip for us, but i am glad you are holding down the fort on that end. Have a great rest of the day and i will see you tomorrow. And thanks to you at home for joining us. Today on velshi, the story of a symbol of election deniers and capital rioters on display at the home of a Supreme Court justice keeps getting worst. The disturbing new context being offered by the justice himself. Plus, the tactic offered by socalled Real Republicans to convince them that their party is not dead. I have a lot of questions for two of the people behind the latest effort to salvage our twoparty system. Then who is behind the Group Spending tens of millions of dollars in democratic primaries to try to oust the most progressiv
it s easy to overlook, but donald trump is trying to run out the clock, the slow walk, the many cases against him, enough to win the republican primary before he can be convicted or maybe even tried of a crime. given a recent spate of legal losses for the twice impeached ex president, we re now entering a crucial time in this high stakes test of wills. last week, in appeals court, reinstated the gag order against him in new york. judges in d.c. also rejected his broad claims of presidenti immunity, which prompted tanya chutkan, the jue and jack smith s federal write, quote, defendants for your service as commander-in-chief did not bestow on him the divine right of kings to evade criminal accountability that governs his fellow citizens, and quote. those legal losses haven t curbed his legal team s efforts to escape or at least postpone his prosecutions. at a hearing on friday, his lawyers went as far as to argue a trial in the fulton county, georgia case this year, would const
