Are local prosecutors doing the work the DOJ should have been doing all along?

The ReidOut with Joy Reid - A podcast by Joy Reid, MSNBC

Categories:

Joy Reid leads this episode of The ReidOut with the fact that it was not the Department of Justice that brought the historic charges against Donald Trump, but a local prosecutor in the state of New York. As local prosecutors pursue criminal charges against Trump, Joy and her legal expert guest question whether they are doing the work that the DOJ should have been doing all along. Plus, despite warnings to refrain from inciting violence, Trump is still attacking Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg, Judge Juan Merchan, and their families. Also in this episode, we discuss a big victory for progressives and reproductive rights in Wisconsin, but the challenge to democracy remains very real with Republicans pushing minority rule. Finally, we cover how many students across the country walked out of class to demand an end to gun violence. All this and more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
