Summary

Tonight, Joy Reid brings you a conversation with Democratic Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, one of 23 state attorneys general suing the Trump administration over its executive order seeking to ban birthright citizenship. Plus, four years ago, Donald Trump was found to have incited an attack on the U.S. Capitol in a desperate bid to overturn the 2020 election, according to the House Jan. 6 select committee. Over 140 officers were injured, several of Trump’s supporters lost their lives, and democracy itself was under siege. Yet, Trump's first day back concluded with a wave of pardons, including over 1,500 insurrectionists charged for their roles in the January 6th attack. We bring you leading analysis of this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
