Leaders of progressive caucus slam House failure to pass eviction moratorium
In tonight's episode of The ReidOut we begin with an alarming and grim new portrait of the fight to contain COVID-19. Then, we cover stunning new details we are learning about the pressure Donald Trump reportedly exerted on his justice department in an alleged attempt to help him overturn the results of last year's election. Plus, the DOJ made news on another front, issuing an opinion that the Treasury department must turn over Trump's tax returns to a congressional committee that has been fighting to get them for the past two years. Plus, federal eviction moratorium extension efforts failing in the House are slammed by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Rep. Cori Bush, and Rep. Ayanna Pressley on The ReidOut. Ocasio-Cortez tells us, "When we have a Democratic majority that is capable of passing legislation, we cannot hide behind the Republican Party in the lack of ability to extend the eviction moratorium." All this and much more in this edition of The ReidOut on MSNBC.
