About this episode
Democracy On Trial is a 2.5-hour documentary that investigates the roots of the criminal cases against former President Donald Trump stemming from his 2020 election loss. The documentary follows the work of the House Jan. 6 committee, which collected evidence and testimonies to prove Trump’s role in inciting the violent attack on the Capitol. The documentary also examines the historic charges against Trump, which include obstruction of justice, abuse of power, and violation of the oath of office. The documentary explores the threat to democracy posed by Trump’s false claims of election fraud and his attempts to overturn the results. The documentary features interviews with key players, such as former Attorney General William Barr, former FBI Director James Comey, former White House Counsel Don McGahn, former National Security Advisor John Bolton, and former Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger. The documentary also analyzes the impact of Trump’s actions on the 2024 presidential race and the future of the Republican Party.
