Summary

An arrest warrant was issued for Brian Walshe, charging him in the death of his wife, Ana Walshe. The mother of three has been missing since the new year. He has already pleaded not guilty to misleading investigators about his actions around the time his wife went missing. CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller tells Anderson Cooper why he thinks prosecutors are charging Walshe now, instead of last week when he was taken into custody for the other charge.

Plus, Rep. George Santos, the New York Republican who has lied about his education, career, heritage and religion, has been placed on two low-level House committees, while facing mounting legal issues and calls to resign. Gregory Morey-Parker, a former friend and roommate of Santos, joins AC360 to discuss all the lies he says the now-Congressman told him back when they were close.
