Thanks to you for joining us on the beat as we track several truly big stories, including

how the Justice Department is now full steam ahead after winning that total vindication

in the Mar-a-Lago stolen documents probe. Trump's loss reverberating. We have that story

0:17.3

with an expert later tonight, plus special guests on Election Eve in Georgia.
