“In discovery documents filed in late November, Trump’s lawyers revealed that the former president is apparently building his defense based on Internet conspiracy theories, including one involving…me,” writes Nation national affairs correspondent John Nichols.

What’s going on? Nichols asks. Why would Trump accuse a reporter in such a document? Nichols surely was not involved in January 6, but rather reporting on it from his home in Wisconsin. His reporting in the months following “probably didn’t make Trump or his most ardent backers view me in a favorable light,” he writes. “I don’t know. But what I do know is that this is part of a very serious issue we face as a nation.”
