Summary

A Florida woman, Ajike “AJ” Owens, was shot and killed through a door after a heated argument on Friday. Many fear the alleged shooter may be protected by the state's "Stand Your Ground" law. In their first interview, Ajike “AJ” Owens’ mother, Pamela Dias, Owens’ son Isaac Williams, and their lawyer, civil rights attorney Ben Crump, join Joy Reid on growing calls for the arrest of the woman accused of shooting Ajike “AJ” Owens, who was her neighbor. Plus, Nikki Haley has suggested that trans girls in sports are linked to the rise in teen girls’ suicides without evidence. Kelley Robinson, president of the Human Rights Campaign, joins Joy to debunk this disinformation. Additionally, Donald Trump's attorneys met with Justice Department officials over the investigation into his mishandling of classified documents. Our legal expert explains how Trump’s possible indictment by the DOJ in its classified documents probe is sparking security concerns. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
