Summary

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with a defiant DA Fani Willis, who was on the witness stand in Atlanta, pushing back hard against a series of degrading personal questions, as Donald Trump's lawyers try to get her removed from the Georgia election interference case. Also, the stage is set for Trump's first criminal trial, as a judge in the hush money case sets a date for jury selection. Plus, the Republican Party is apparently now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Trump, Inc. He's in total control of the Republican agenda in Congress. Additionally, we are now learning of a push from Trump's allies to have him give the official Republican response to President Biden's State of the Union address. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
