Summary

The National Archives has asked the Department of Justice to investigate former President Trump’s handling of White House documents. The New York Times is reporting the Archives found possible classified material in some of the boxes returned to them by the former President. Rep. Adam Schiff is a member of House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol. He tells AC360 the DOJ should look at the allegations “very seriously and investigate them” if there were classified materials in the boxes. Plus, New York Gov. Kathy Hochul announced she’s lifting the statewide mask-or-vaccine mandate for indoor businesses starting tomorrow as many other states have made similar announcements. CNN’s Chief Medical Correspondent Dr. Sanjay Gupta joins AC360 to discuss the growing list of states getting rid of mandatory masking and whether he thinks it’s too soon.
