'Exactly What Happened In Watergate!': SCOTUS Rebuffs Trump

The Supreme Court has rejected Trump's effort to stop the National Archives from giving the Jan. 6 Committee hundreds of pages of documents from his time in the White House. MSNBC's Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber is joined by MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace, former Watergate prosecutor Nick Akerman, and The New York Times Magazine's Emily Bazelon to break down the significance of this decision.

wasn't today's decision about only four pages?

I'd love to be wrong on this one. Did I miss something?

Those four pages are probably doctored, altered, you know, "President Trump took no calls, he was taking a three hour afternoon nap."

There were four pages from what is referred to as the "Third Tranche" of documents that Trump never tried to block and weren't covered by the court cases. The Supreme Court decision related to the Court of Appeals ruling on Tranches One and Two, which contain around 700 documents.
