Welcome to the Beat. I am Ari Melver. And tonight we begin with this, the Trump fans who

infamously tried to overthrow the government on January 6th. What do you see in this picture?

the response by law enforcement. We're also outnumbered and surprised because then President

Trump took extreme, culpable measures to keep his plans a surprise that alone endangering many

police officers among others. That's now criminal evidence against Mr. Trump. We'll come back to
