that s how one person familiar with the january 6th trial preparations described the strategy according to rolling stone magazine. in new reporting tonight, rolling stone cites several of trump s legal and political advisers who claim the former president is demanding they incorporate fringe conspiracies into his legal defense. quote, his list of ideas has included asserting that there s evidence of anti-trump elements in the fbi framed him and maga protesters by using undercover agents and informants to instigate the deadly january 6th riot. the anarchists and left wing anti-fascists played a role in attacking the capitol that day and they gathered real evidence showing, quote, massive amount of voter and election fraud, end quote, in 2020 in swing states and heavily democratic urban areas as he has long baselessly claimed, end quote. trump s team has even discussed calling witnesses like nancy pelosi and other political foes to the stand in an effort to paint them as the tr
live. in a moment we re going to play a short portion of it, one that gives you a look into his state of mind and how he is trying to frame his defense to his supporters. i m joined now by new york democratic congresswoman and house oversight committee member alexandria ocasio-cortez. thanks so much for being here. first of all, i just want to the little havana stop, that cafe, versailles cafe, one of the reasons we re told by his folks he was there is because the cuban american people know from political persecution. and i wondered how you might interpret that and what you think of that. well, you know, i think it s it makes it s not a surprise. during trump s remarks he was trying to somehow pin this as some great marxist conspiracy. but the fact of the matter remains that tn individual who r. tand u.s. national security secrets, nuclear weapons locations or, you know, nuclear site locations, sensitive materials, and put our nation at risk. and frankly this is beyon
now. idout. all tonight on all in. epstein hung out with some of the most well connected people on earth. the republican front runner and the jeffrey epstein docks. she said she was once flying on epstein s plane and a maiden and planned stock in atlantic city because jeffrey said, great, we re gonna call up trump. tonight, new unsealed documents and what we already know about donald trump and jeffrey epstein. i do not think it is right and fair for this administration s labor department to have epstein as the focus. then, move over hunter biden. ever been any occupations that trump got paid by china? brand-new accusations that trump got paid by china while he was president. congressman jamie raskin joins me live with his new bombshell report. plus, the biden campaign drops their first app. all of us are being asked right now, what will we do to maintain our democracy? can the call to save democracy breakthrough margaret propaganda? when all in starts,
