Donald Trump is already calling on the Supreme Court that he helped stack to annul his conviction in New York. Meanwhile in Delaware, Hunter Biden's trial on gun charges got underway. Yamiche Alcindor, Hugo Lowell, and Charles Coleman Jr. join Stephanie Ruhle to discuss.
An Alabama man pleaded guilty on Tuesday after threatening Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis and Sheriff Patrick Labat for prosecuting and processing Donald Trump’s election interference charges in Georgia. The threats against Willis and Labat, who are both Black, are part of a disturbing trend of Trump supporters threatening violence against government officials who’ve been portrayed in conservative media as Trump’s political enemies.
Willis spoke out last year about the death threats, many of them racist, that she’s received as she’s sought to prosecute Trump on charges of pressuring Georgia officials to overturn the state’s 2020 election results and falsely name him the winner over Joe Biden. Hanson’s guilty plea is a reminder of the violent threats that face Black officials nationwide. My colleague Clarissa-Jan Lim reported earlier this week on a Texas man who sent racist death threats to California Rep.
