Summary

During a speech in New Hampshire, former President Trump attacked special counsel Jack Smith, calling the criminal investigation into the 2020 election interference “ridiculous,” and claimed it is targeting his First Amendment rights. Trump also suggested he wouldn’t be able to campaign because of the charges since he’d be sitting in a courtroom on “bullsh*t.” CNN National Correspondent Kristen Holmes joins AC360 from New Hampshire where she heard the former president talk about possibly being indicted in yet another case, Fulton County, Georgia’s investigation into election interference. Plus, Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the counteroffensive hasn’t been easy and is “happening probably slower” than some had hoped. CNN Chief National Security Correspondent Jim Sciutto tells Anderson Cooper what his sources are saying about Ukraine’s chances in the war against Russia.
