Good evening from washington. I am mehdi hasan in for chris hayes. Donald trump could end up behind bars next year for conspiracy to obstruct justice. And if he does, it may very well be because of a new testimony by someone identified by the justice department, only as Trump Employee 4. Now that we have had all weekend to digest the new Superseding Indictment for donald trump from doj special counsel jack smith and the classified documents case, employee number fours involvement seems particularly notable.
