Trump’s Indefensible Pardons

In This Episode

Donald Trump makes good on his promise to free the January 6 rioters—including those convicted of savage violence against police officers—calling the attacks “very minor incidents” in a primetime interview with Sean Hannity, and saying it would be too “cumbersome” to review individual defendants’ records. Jon and Dan react to the pardons, the expansive list of executive orders that Trump signed this week, the prospects for his cabinet picks, and how Democrats are doing in their efforts to push back. Then, Dan talks to progressive strategist Faiz Shakir about his bid for DNC Chair and where he wants to steer the party.
