Summary

Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner testifies to a grand jury in the 2020 election probe that Trump truly believed the election was stolen. Our panel discusses what Kushner’s testimony reveals about the special counsel’s investigation. Plus, why deep-pocketed donors are souring on DeSantis. And, the Secret Service ends its White House cocaine probe with no suspect found. Former Secret Service agent Jonathan Wackrow joins to discuss why the investigation ultimately holds nobody to account. Also tonight: the slow pace of Biden’s reelection campaign feeds Democrats’ 2024 anxiety, the manhunt for a ‘survivalist’ escapee inmate in Pennsylvania intensifies, and the SAG-AFTRA strike is set to go into effect at midnight PT.
