Summary

Tonight on The ReidOut, Joy Reid leads with President Biden expressing his concern about his opponent, Donald Trump, who, instead of campaigning, spent his day off from his ongoing criminal trial meeting with a right-wing foreign leader once ridiculed for proposing a military base in his home country named "Fort Trump." Additionally, Trump complained about not receiving unlimited jury strikes, a practice that does not exist in criminal trials, while continuing his attacks on the judge and prosecutor in his hush money trial. Meanwhile, Sergeant Aquilino Gonell, who was brutally attacked by members of Trump's insurrectionist mob on January 6th, joins the discussion as National Guard whistleblowers shed light on the true events of that violent and disgraceful day. Sergeant Gonell also joins Joy with his perspective. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
