Summary

Special counsel Jack Smith has asked U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan to limit former President Trump’s public statements in the federal 2020 election interference case against him. A newly released court filing reveals that prosecutors want a court order limiting what the former president can say. Trump responded to the request by calling Smith “deranged.” Former federal prosecutor Elliot Williams tells Anderson Cooper how strong he thinks the special counsel’s argument is and if he thinks the judge will grant the request. Plus, CNN Correspondent Jomana Karadsheh joins AC360 from Derna, Libya to give an update on the catastrophic flooding that hit the country. More than 5,000 people are feared dead and Libya’s United Nations Ambassador expects that number to increase.
