Peter Strzok, former FBI counter-intelligence agent, talks with Alex Wagner about new reporting from Rolling Stone that Donald Trump is trying to build a list of federal investigators and FBI agents who have been involved with investigating his many transgressions so that he can make sure they lose their jobs if he becomes president. 

Alex Wagner reports on the growing field of people who have declared or are expected to declare candidacies for the Republican nomination to be president of the United States, noting a poll that shows Republican voters are apparently convinced that Trump has the best chance of winning.

Joyce Vance, former U.S. attorney, talks with Alex Wagner about the unusual number of Donald Trump's lawyers who have testified to special counsel Jack Smith's grand jury or investigators, and the worsening infighting among Trump's various legal representatives in his myriad probes, investigations, and prosecutions.

Trump lawyer Evan Corcoran, who conducted the initial “diligent” search of Mar-a-Lago last June in response to a grand jury subpoena, told a federal grand jury that he had actually been told to steer clear of Donald Trump’s office and to only search a storage room, according to two people familiar with the matter, new reporting from The Guardian indicates. MSNBC legal analyst, former FBI general counsel, and former senior member of the Mueller probe Andrew Weissmann joins Joy Reid with his analysis.

State Representative James Talarico (D-TX) on AG Ken Paxton: “He’s learns from the best. Donald Trump is his mentor, his biggest supporter, so he’s going to throw everything but the kitchen sink in order to divert from the issue at hand, which is his corruption and the fact that his own party is finally going to hold him accountable for it.”

Special Counsel Jack Smith is reportedly eyeing possible obstruction charges as his documents probe nears the finish line. The Guardian's Hugo Lowell, who broke the story, discusses his reporting with MSNBC’s Katie Phang, calling the revelations “really important” to the obstruction investigation, adding Smith already “pierced the attorney client privilege” between Trump and lawyer Evan Corcoran.
