After months of pressure, the Democratic National Committee has released an independent review of how Democrats lost so big in the 2024 election. NBC News’ national political reporter Ben Kamisar explains why it took so long — and why the DNC still isn’t owning the contents of the report. Then, NBC News’ justice reporter Ryan J. Reilly breaks down why police officers involved in the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, Democratic lawmakers and even some members of the GOP are pushing back against the Department of Justice’s new $1.8 billion “anti-weaponization” fund — and what it would mean for tax audits of President Donald Trump, his family and his businesses.
