A federal judge ruled Monday that former President Trump and his lawyer John Eastman likely" committed multiple felonies in their bid to block certification of Joe Biden's Electoral College victory in the 2020 election, ordering them to turn over hundreds of emails to the House committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol.

The stolen election myth is animating the Republican base to this day," says Frontline correspondent A.C. Thompson, whose new documentary, Plot to Overturn the Election," premieres today on PBS and tracks how lies about election fraud made their way to the center of American politics.
