Summary

The Defense Department identified the three U.S. soldiers killed in a drone attack on a U.S. military outpost in Jordan as Sgt. William Rivers, Specialist Kennedy Sanders, and Specialist Breonna Moffett. More than 40 others were injured. Sources tell CNN the drone caused confusion because there was also an American drone returning to base, which led to uncertainty over whether it was hostile and caused a delay in U.S. response. CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward joins AC360 from Tel Aviv, Israel to discuss how the attack unfolded. Plus, a South Carolina judge ruled that Alex Murdaugh will not receive a new murder trial after his attorneys alleged the court clerk tampered with the jury that found him guilty of killing his wife and son nearly 11 months ago. CNN National Correspondent Dianne Gallagher tells Anderson Cooper what is next for Murdaugh. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
