Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the dominos starting to fall in the Fulton County case against Donald Trump after another one of his former legal advisers and co-defendants has flipped. On Friday, Kenneth Chesebro unexpectedly pleaded guilty for illegally conspiring to overturn Trump's 2020 election loss in Georgia, just hours after jury selection began for his trial. Meanwhile on Capitol Hill, it was speaker vote number three that ultimately sank Jim Jordan's hopes of becoming speaker of the House. Plus, more than three new candidates are throwing their hat into the ring for the gavel. Rep. Eric Swalwell joins Joy with more. We also bring you a major development in the Middle East, as we see the first photo of an American mother and daughter, after having been freed from captivity by Hamas. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
