Summary

Donald Trump is now selling pictures of his mugshot on t-shirts, mugs, and other campaign gear. All eighteen of his co-defendants are now formally booked at the Fulton County jail. On Monday, Mark Meadows will make his case for a move out of Fulton County and into federal court. We examine why that move may impact all co-defendants in the Georgia indictment. Plus, Russian investigators now say they have the black box from the plane crash that likely killed Yevgeny Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner Group.
