Hey Crimestituents! We're gaveling in another session of Crime in Congress, a new true crime podcast with hosts Harley and Sarah that examines political scandals and infamous crimes with elected officials.

 

This session, we're talking about hostage situation in Washington, D.C. that lasted 38 hours and led to multiple fatalities; but, we can't talk about that attack without first discussing the 1973 Hanafi Massacre.
