Today on Boston Public Radio:
Judge Nancy Gertner shared her thoughts on the Jan. 6 hearings so far, including Ginni Thomas’ emails, and the possibility of former President Donald Trump being indicted. Gertner is a retired federal judge and is now a senior lecturer at Harvard Law School.
Then, we asked listeners if they’re struggling to give the Jan. 6 hearings adequate attention given the overwhelming state of the news.
Andrea Cabral talked about the Jan. 6 hearings, the thwarted white supremacist plan to riot near a Pride event in Idaho, the ruling that a Bronx Zoo elephant named Happy is not a legal person. Cabral is the former Suffolk County sheriff and secretary of public safety, and former CEO of the cannabis company Ascend.
Judd Legum discussed his reporting on the pledges corporations made about not funding politicians who voted to overturn the 2020 election. Legum writes the newsletter Popular Information. He was the founder and editor of ThinkProgress, Hillary Clinton’s research director for her 2008 presidential campaign and a Democratic nominee for State Delegate in Maryland in 2010.
We then carried live coverage of the Jan. 6 hearings.
