Summary

Three of former President Trump’s key election lawyers surrendered to Fulton County authorities after being indicted on charges relating to their alleged efforts to overturn the 2020 election. Rudy Giuliani was charged with 13 crimes and Sidney Powell faces seven state crimes. Jenna Ellis was charged with two state crimes. Trump is expected to turn himself in Thursday after agreeing to a $200,000 bond. Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Elie Honig tells Anderson Cooper Giuliani’s downfall is a “tragic, Shakespearean fall” but it’s all “his own doing.” Plus, the Russian Federal Air Transport Agency says Yevgeny Prigozhin, the chief of the mercenary group Wagner, was on board a plane that crashed. CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward joins AC360 to discuss the Wagner group, that she’s been reporting on for years.
