Summary

Trump's attorneys said despite having reached out to 30 underwriters, the former president cannot find an insurance company who will back his $464 million judgment against him in the New York attorney general's civil fraud case. Trump’s lawyers wrote in a court filing that “very few bonding companies will consider a bond of anything approaching that magnitude." David Cay Johnston, author of "The Big Cheat: How Donald Trump Fleeced America and Enriched Himself and His Family," speaks to Anderson Cooper about the former president’s legal predicament, and what he thinks could happen next. Plus, CNN's David Culver visits one of the last remaining hospital trauma centers still functioning in Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince, as gangs continue to hit the city with relentless violence.
