One week ago, Merrick Garland was in the position of needing to say something. The Attorney General spoke for fewer than four minutes and now a lot of work lies ahead. It's today explained that Merrick Garland's King is Zack Beacham, Senior Correspondent at Vox. How has Donald Trump been responding to all of this? So Trump tells us what he always does, right? Which is like throw shit at the wall and see what sticks.
The Justice Department is investigating Donald Trump, but the ex-president's still-large base likely won’t want him prosecuted under any circumstances. Vox’s Zack Beauchamp explains the ongoing fallout from the FBI raid at Mar-a-Lago.
This episode was produced by Victoria Chamberlin, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro, and edited by Amina Al-Sadi and Noel King, who also hosted.
