Closing take

The Trump movement spent years pretending January 6 was either a tourist visit or a useful blur. By June 6, 2022, federal prosecutors were writing the opposite in black-and-white, and the legal consequences were getting harder to spin away. The date did not deliver a single giant Trump indictment, but it did deliver more evidence that the hangover from the coup attempt was still spreading through his world—and getting more expensive by the day.
