Donald Trump has been deplatformed and defenestrated, but he's nowhere close to being gone. The same goes for the people who made up his administration.

Insider's project tracked down 327 of the most prominent Trump administration alumni here. 👇 businessinsider.com/trump-white-ho…
At least 99 alumni have establishment ties with prominent lobbying shops, law firms, think tanks, big business or corporate America.

But, as our project shows, not all corporations are willing to employ all former alumni. businessinsider.com/trump-alumni-m…
At least 21 former Trump alumni have been building something new, including Nikki Haley, Stephen Miller, and Jared Kushner. businessinsider.com/trump-white-ho…

On January 6, rioters stormed the US Capitol and tarnished American democracy.

Six months on, formal testimony, news reports, and investigations have made clear what went wrong. Missed warnings, botched plans, and poor leadership exacerbated the chaos. 👇 businessinsider.com/capitol-riot-m…
Drawing on congressional testimony, official reports, legal documents, and original interviews, Insider can tell the extent of the dysfunction and confusion that led to insurrection on US soil.

businessinsider.com/capitol-riot-m…
The Capitol riot prompted one of the worst days for US law-enforcement injuries since 9/11, The New York Times reported in May.

73 Capitol Police officers and 65 officers with the DC Metropolitan Police Department were injured. One died.

The book contains 375 entries and the names of 349 people — the majority of whom do not appear in Epstein's little black book from the aughts.

Derek Chauvin has been sentenced to 22.5 years in prison for the murder of George Floyd.

But criminal justice experts don’t think that alone signals that America will start holding cops accountable for misconduct.

insider.com/derek-chauvins…
Ayesha Bell Hardaway, an assistant professor at the Case Western Reserve University School of Law and director at the Social Justice Law Center, said only systemic reform can prove that America has turned the corner when it comes to taking police brutality seriously. Text graphic that features a quote from Ayesha Bell Hardaway
A jury found Chauvin guilty of second-degree murder, third-degree murder, and manslaughter after being presented evidence that he used excessive force by kneeling on Floyd’s neck for 9 minutes and 29 seconds while he begged for his life.
