    May 18 2024

    On this week's episode of 'The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart': Outrage is growing over Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito and the upside-down flag -- a symbol of distress used by some election deniers -- seen outside his home days after the January 6th riot at the Capitol. Although Justice Alito blamed the incident on his wife, who was feuding with neighbors, it's raising more questions about the High Court's impartiality. Rep. Jamie Raskin, ranking member of the House Oversight committee, is here to weigh in. Plus, Donald Trump's first criminal trial could wrap up next week. Harry Litman and Adam Klasfeld have been inside the courtroom and game out what to expect in this final phase. And Republicans gone wild. From flocking to Trump's trial to hurling insults in committee meetings, congressional chaos reaches a whole new level. I will unpack all of that and more on “The Saturday Show with Jonathan Capehart.”
