New evidence confirms Trump pressed the DOJ to overturn the 2020 election, prompting many to call his efforts a “coup attempt.” Emails show DOJ officials rejected their own colleague’s request to intervene in Georgia’s election certification, according to ABC News. MSNBC’s Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber breaks down the evidence revealing how deep this pressure went and what to expect as the investigation unfolds.

The stack of Trump bombshells in the last 5 years could build that wall.
@blqest,
Not a single charge?
TWICE IMPEACHED.
That’s actually being charged.
Trump U.
Charged.
And gone.
His company indicted several times.
The Trump Foundation.
Charged.
And gone.
Wait.
Sorry.
You are actually correct.
My bad.
“not a single charge”
But MANY charges.
And more coming.
@Bob Brown aleluya!! Amen brother. With a hint of socialism. Funny but a Cuban friend once told me that the Sunday school in Cuba was about the community problems more than a worshiping assembly. If course they sang and everything but the church was more an opportunity for solidarity. At least his church was. Saludos!! Solidarity forever!!
@Dougie Ellis,
< shakes head >
So much unfounded fear and hate.
Exactly what has Biden done?
Delusional paranoia and conspiracy theory don’t count.
@aurora_occidentalis,
Viva ignorance and stupidity!!!
@Lake Safety You are allowed to dream a nightmare. Good luck with fascism. Enjoy.
Ari, I am not fatigued over the stories. I’m fatigued over someone isn’t in handcuffs and being processed.
@David Clark how? Biden runs the House and the Senate. 😬
@LLL Power, ego and protection
Vote smart America we know who is who now, vote smart for a better nation let’s end the trump circus and oust his clowns
@LLL
He’s always lying. He wanted to be a dictator. He wanted to keep grifting. He wanted to stay out of prison.
Poor widdle donnie, not getting everything he wanted. Boo hoo
@DK111122 221111KD Jesus put himself there.
It was not just Trump. It was with support of pretty much the entire GOP.
So isn’t this what the Republicans are doing in different states.
YES, and they have been laying ground work for this in state and county governments since Reagan.
Remember those Democrats that fleed TX, so they wouldn’t have to do their jobs. Remember how some of them have warrants for their arrest?
Wait…they got COVID, too, didn’t they? I guess they should have followed their own rules.
@firestream93 pretty sad that you dont get a thing…..try harder
I imagine we know why Barr quit now.
To try and salvage whatever marketability he has left, obviously. Barr doesn’t care about democracy so much as the eye on the back of the dollar bill and a government leaning towards executive authoritarianism.
@Ryan Shannon My opinion is that Barr is an idealogue. He leans towards authoritarianism, however, I think a coup was a bridge too far for him. He also probably doesn’t want to go to jail.
Get Lindsey out of office while at it for his phone calls too.
There is just so much stuff out there it is often hard to remember all of it. Agree
I love the way that in all the letters shown on the screen, these politicians have got the brass neck to call themselves “honorable”. The human capacity for self-delusion is truly infinite.
Truly
So why is he not standing against a wall being asked if he would like a blindfold or not?!!!
Why isn’t Trump in prison already?
Who is protecting Trump?
ya gotta have a crime!
Nancy is responsible for that mess on 1/6 and it’s not an insurrection. the only guns were the police that killed an unarmed woman. did you watch it on MSNBC that day? did you see the police move the barracades and wave the people in? sure you did. don’t you think that was odd? I did! and the camera men… talk about staged, who let in the camera men that were always AHEAD of the people. put the politics aside and look at it thru your detective eyes and tell me what you see. ✌️ Trump asked the mayor and Nancy if he should call in national guard they refused the offer. why? why were there bus loads of antifa reported on the freeway to the police by travelers. just saying, something to think about.
@Roz Hill 👈🏿👹
@Joe Sanchez so smart people are supporting Joe Biden. are you one of those smart socialist Democrats joe?
Yeah. They have more than enough to send him away for 5 life terms so what’s the F holdup right
I just hope he sees the inside of a prison before his hamburger heart gives out. But more than anything i hope people on the Right start to see the truth of it all.
RETRUMPLICANS will never see/admit the truth!
They obviously do. Ties have been cut, no one’s talking about “the stolen election” in government, and they are already finding new leaders to rally behind. The cult was dissolved after Jan 6 woke everyone up.
@Wrecking Crew I don’t think so TIM!!!!! The nut jobs are still being hard rights. Where are you getting your information from? Whatever!
It’s obvious: Barr and Pompeo are in league with Trump: They knew about Trump’s coup attempt.
He really doesn’t like to hear “You’re fired,” unless he is saying it.
You are right! Hahahahahahaha! Too bad for him! lol
He really doesn’t like evictions unless he’s the one ordering them.
And again. Why aren’t the DOJ people who DID try the coup in jail and why isn’t Trump in GITMO?
@Nick Lincoln, the guy that freed them all.
@Peter V reluctantly by his own words
@Nick they were but not anymore. The KKK seem to be all from red states
@Mike Herriman that may be true, but in my 28 years I’ve never met a single one.
@Nick well nobody is gonna out themselves like that
Gee. Wonder why Republicans don’t want to investigate themselves.
Trump won Georgia
@Lord Nelson 2.0 IN YOUR DREAMS!!
@Lord Nelson 2.0 .
WRONG BIDEN/HARRIS WON . TRUMPSTILSKIN LOST FAIR NO RIGGED, FRAUDULENT, OR ELECTORAL VOTES.
@ALL711 TRIBES shouting ? Calm down
@cheryl begue nope… reality! But then you know nothing, after all, you listen to the MSM, wake up
So for, a lot of talking, but not too much action to indict him, find him guilty, and condemn him to jail for the rest of his life, the result he deserves in fact.
Will the justice dept. ever get enough to send this man to prison. He has done more to upset American democracy than any other foreign dictator.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 SO !!
there’s not anything. face it Trump tried to warn everyone about how bad the government has gotten which you would have known if you had been paying attention for the last few years. and raffensburger lied and nyt issued a correction. MSNBC stop lying to us!
@mary cauffield you have to be deaf dumb and blind if you think trump was trying to “warn us” there’s literally unrefutable proof trump tried himself to steal the election and yet your still backing the wannabe orange dictator.
That is why Putin worked so hard to get him elected in 2016.
@mary cauffield,
And then he made it worse.
You weren’t paying attention for 4 years?
But you’re happy with Fox, OAN, Newsmax and Sky lying to you.
The question is … what is Legal system going to do about Trumps coup
It’s interesting that politicians are still given the official title “Honorable” when most are anything but that these days.
Every time he says the election was rigged, hes calling for a coup. Seriously
Fox is just helping trump pull off the “Jonestown phase” of his cult.
Scarry
Clear and present danger.
@ALL711 TRIBES spell check
FOX News was way involved in the election fraud… try paying attention
@Lord Nelson 2.0 .No I paid attention in school.
