Summary

Former President Trump arrived in New York City a day before he’s expected to turn himself in to be arraigned. The indictment is still under seal but CNN sources say the former President faces more than 30 criminal charges. Trump was indicted for his possible involvement in a scheme to pay hush money to adult film actress Stormy Daniels in an attempt to cover up an alleged affair. Elie Honig is a former assistant U.S. Attorney for Southern District of New York. He tells Anderson Cooper what he’s expecting when the indictment is unsealed.

Plus, conservative lawyer and Washington Post contributing columnist George Conway joins AC360 to discuss Trump being the first former or sitting President ever to be booked on criminal charges.
