Former Georgia Senator Kelly Loeffler is standing by Donald Trump after a unsealed court document revealed a special grand jury recommended indicting her along with two other U.S. Senators in the Georgia election interference case. However, Fulton County DA Fani Willis did not charge the Republican lawmakers in her RICO case. An MSNBC political panel joined American Voices with Alicia Menendez to discuss how Georgia voters have repeatedly rejected election deniers in statewide races.

Trump has said that the indictments against him are a sign that the U.S. is a “banana republic.” The term dates back 120 years, to describe single-export economies that were very susceptible to corruption and outside influence. In claiming that the indictments against him inherently make the United States a quote “banana republic,” Trump is incorrectly saying that any kind of accountability reaching the highest office of the land is intrinsically corrupt. But the indictments Trump faces, all voted on by a jury of his peers, demonstrate that, in America, no-one is above the law.

The ex POTUS accused the Duchess of Sussex of treating the late Queen with “disrespect” and said he "didn’t like" the fact the couple "were getting US security when they came here". Royal commentator Kinsey Schofield and Emily Andrews join Jeremy Kyle to discuss all things royal.
