Joy Reid on reports the Trump-era Justice Department sought records of Democratic lawmakers

Joy Reid leads The ReidOut on Friday with what is reportedly shaping up to be yet another appalling abuse of power by the Trump-era Justice Department. Former Watergate prosecutor Jill Wine-Banks comments on comparisons between Richard Nixon's wiretapping and reports that Donald Trump's Department of Justice sought the records of Democratic lawmakers. In today's "The Absolute Worst": New reporting from Reuters details a torrent of truly disturbing texts, voicemails and e-mails that election workers and top officials have received as a result of the Big Lie--fraudulent claims of a rigged election. Then, Dr. Jason Johnson has some advice for the Democrats on how to fight back against the GOP. Finally, Joy celebrates the Bidens restoring American dignity abroad. All this and much more in this Friday edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
