4. Jan 6th: An American Story - The Book of Purple

PART 4: This explosive episode reveals how senior investigator Candyce Phoenix, who led the Purple team, pushed for a different narrative – one that was ultimately shoved aside. Named the “Book of Purple,” this treasure trove of testimony lays bare the nation’s root causes of white supremacy in explaining former President Trump’s rise to power. Our Body Politic is the first journalism organization to tell this story – why it was sidelined, and what this means for democracy and America’s future.
