Summary

CNN has learned that former President Trump is considering releasing the surveillance video of the FBI’s search of his Mar-a-Lago residence. One person close to Trump said it’s not a matter of if the former President releases the video but a matter of when. Others in his inner circle have warned of potential risks. Former Deputy FBI Director Andrew McCabe tells Anderson Cooper how he thinks the FBI would react if the footage is released. Plus, Rudy Giuliani testified in front of a Fulton County grand jury just days after prosecutors told him he was a target in their Georgia 2020 presidential election investigation. Elliot Williams is a former federal prosecutor and a former deputy assistant attorney general. He joins AC360 to discuss what kind of charges prosecutors could be considering.
