Rep. Jamie Raskin Speaks at Brookings on the Future of American Democracy
Rep. Jamie Raskin of Maryland has been one of the most prominent voices in Congress speaking about Jan. 6 and the aftermath of the insurrection. He has a uniquely personal relationship with the violence that day: he lost his son shortly before the riot, and went on to serve both as an impeachment manager prosecuting the second impeachment of Donald Trump, and as a member of the House select committee on Jan. 6, on which he still sits.
On February 15, the Brookings Institution welcomed Representative Raskin to discuss his new book, \u201cUnthinkable: Trauma, Truth, and the Trials of American Democracy.\u201d For this special episode of the Lawfare Podcast, we\u2019re bringing you audio of the event. First, you\u2019ll hear Brookings President John R. Allen in conversation with Rep. Raskin. Then, you\u2019ll hear a panel of Brookings scholars discuss Jan. 6 and Rep. Raskin\u2019s reflections. Brookings senior fellow Sarah Binder moderated a discussion with Brookings senior fellows Fiona Hill, Rashawn Ray, Molly Reynolds, and Brookings fellow Quinta Jurecic.
