Disinformation about the 2020 election motivated thousands to march on the Capitol on January 6th. We follow one of those lies – about suitcases filled with fake ballots — and meet two of the men who tried to stop it. But as disinformation continues to spread through our society, is there anything we can do to keep straight what is fact and what is fiction?

How will January 6th be written into American history? First we explore how a little-known law connects that day to the aftermath of the Civil War. Then we look at how the criminal justice system is holding insurrectionists accountable, as the court of public opinion rewrites the stories of those who survived the attacks.

Special Note: Thanks for listening. We hope you enjoyed the series. The January 6th Select Committee is holding public hearings in June and we'll be back to unpack the testimony and what it means. Be sure to follow "Will Be Wild", so you get notified when these special episodes drop.
