Andrew Kuchins: Is there any world in which Donald Trump faces the music for what happened on January 6th? He says he's closer to facing charges today than he has ever been in the past. The Justice Department will not let him off the hook because he's going to whine and complain about it, said Kuchins. "There would be several twists and turns lying ahead"
The January 6 committee sent the Justice Department four criminal referrals against the former president, who it alleges engaged in an elaborate criminal conspiracy to remain in office after his 2020 defeat. Vox’s Andrew Prokop explains what happens next.
This episode was produced by Hady Mawajdeh and Siona Peterous, edited by Matt Collette, fact-checked by Laura Bullard, engineered by Efim Shapiro, and hosted by Sean Rameswaram.
