Summary
Sources tell CNN the Top Secret document that former President Trump was heard discussing at a 2021 meeting at his New Jersey golf club was returned to the National Archives in January 2022 despite the former President saying it didn’t exist. Trump was charged with retaining the classified document as part of the superseding indictment. Conservative lawyer George Conway joins AC360 to discuss the new details in the indictment. Plus, for the last 29 consecutive days, temperatures in Phoenix, Arizona have hit above 110 degrees. Some pavement temperatures have reached 180 degrees, which could cause a deep burn if someone fell and landed on the hot surface. Dr. Kevin Foster is the director of the Arizona Burn Center at Valleywise Health. He tells Anderson Cooper what heat-related issues they’ve seen.
