CNN Special Report S2021E19 - Trumping Democracy: An American Coup

The January 6th attack on the U.S. Capitol was the most visible piece of Donald Trump's push to overthrow the results of a free and fair U.S. election endangering our American democracy. Before election day itself even began, Trump led a disinformation campaign attacking the 2020 election's credibility. As votes were still being counted, he pressured local, state, and federal legislators to disenfranchise millions of voters, even twisting the arms of leaders in the Justice Department to help orchestrate a second term. CNN Anchor and Chief Washington correspondent Jake Tapper interviews key Republican officials about details never before heard on just how close the nation came to losing the democracy many of us hold so precious – and what Trump and his team are planning for 2024.
