Trump returns to Washington

Morning Joe’s Willie Geist, Jonathan Lemire and Mike Barnicle discuss Attorney General Merrick Garland having declined to rule out prosecuting former President Donald Trump and others for their role in the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol or for attempting to interfere with the presidential election, following former President Trump delivering a speech in his first return to Washington since leaving office. “(Trump) basically tried to destroy our government—to take an election, a legal election, a legal winner, Joseph R. Biden, and basically trample on 230 years of history. That’s what he tried to do,” says Barnicle about former President Trump’s words and actions. You can join the conversation here.
