Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the fact that it is Tuesday--the day that the former president told America he would be arrested and charged by the Manhattan district attorney--which has not happened, but if and when it does, it would be historic. As we await news of a possible Trump indictment, we recall the case of John Edwards, the rich and powerful Democratic politician who was indicted for something very similar to Trump--allegedly breaking campaign finance laws after a tawdry affair. Joy and her guests analyze the unsubstantiated Republican allegation that the Department of Justice among other law enforcement agencies are partisan. Also in this episode, a Fox producer has accused the network of coercing her into providing misleading testimony in the Dominion defamation lawsuit, as a judge begins hearing pre-trial arguments in the case. MSNBC legal expert Katie Phang has more. Plus, 10 indictments have been announced, including multiple second-degree murder charges, after sheriff's deputies pinned 28-year-old Ivor Otieno, in handcuffs, on the ground until he was dead. We have the latest reporting on this tragedy. All this and more in this editon of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
