Episode notes

I think the committee accomplished a lot much more than I initially expected. It got surprising results in testimony, most notably from White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson. No man who would behave that way at that moment in time can ever serve in any position of authority in our nation again. The seriousness was that Trump's conduct was part of a larger plan and some evidence it was premeditated even before the election.

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.
