SUMMARY: This week on Mississippi Insight, Richard Lake examines political tensions as Donald Trump calls for January 6th committee members to be indicted, potentially targeting Mississippi Congressman Benny Thompson. Analyst Eric Schmidt discusses historical uses of law enforcement against political opponents. The show delves into Trump’s 34 felony convictions linked to falsifying business records, with former Mississippi Assistant Attorney General John R. Henry offering insights on potential sentencing and appeals. Shifting to local economic issues, the segment explores efforts to rejuvenate the Mississippi Delta, focusing on challenges and opportunities for equitable economic growth. Despite historical adversities, the region seeks inclusivity in future developments.

Could Mississippi’s lone Democrat in Congress face potential payback from the target of his January 6 committee? Donald Trump is calling for all committee members to be indicted. Meantime, the former president is campaigning for re-election, even as he awaits sentencing for his criminal convictions in New York state. We’ll get analysis from former state Assistant Attorney General John R Henry. And, when might the Mississippi Delta enjoy the fruits of state economic development? 12 News looks in depth. Hosted by 12 News’ Richard Lake and produced by Tom Wright.
