On the North Carolina News Roundup...

This week, the big news from Washington is also big news here in North Carolina. Approximately 50 people from North Carolina were among those pardoned by President Trump for their involvement in the Jan 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol.

Also, an update on the North Carolina Supreme Court race, which still has not been certified. And, remembering a longtime member of the General Assembly who passed away this week.

A panel of reporters joins ¼ª²ÊÍøÍøÕ¾'s Colin Campbell for context and analysis of the week's news.
