A team of ex-government officials including the former president, his chief of staff and campaign lawyers, are all expected to surrender in Georgia next week, accused of engaging in a criminal conspiracy to overturn the 2020 election. The Fulton County Sheriff has suggested he wants to treat Trump and the others similar to any other defendant, which means they would have mugshots taken and be fingerprinted. Also tonight: Little Rock Arkansas will teach AP African American Studies despite the state’s objections, the little known country song that has become a chart topping anthem for Conservatives almost overnight, and a brand-new update from the National Hurricane Center about how hurricane Hilary could affect Los Angeles.
