Good evening, everyone. I'm Allison Kamarata. And I'm Laura Cotes, and this is CNN Tonight.

0:14.0

We have updates tonight on the DOJ's investigation into Donald Trump. And there's new ludicrous

0:19.8

things that the Congresswoman from Georgia is saying about January 6th, and how much

0:24.2

worse it would have been if she'd been in charge. Somehow she's proud of that. But it's

0:29.0

deeper than just hateful comments. That Congresswoman is on the verge of being placed on important

0:33.1

committees and having real power. Plus, shocking developments tonight, almost seven months after the

0:38.6

horrific tragic Evaldyschool shooting. We're learning tonight the Sheriff's Department actually had

0:43.8

no active shooter policy when 19 children and two of their teachers were shot to death in their

0:50.0

classrooms. How could they protect these kids if there was never a plan? Okay, so we have a lot

0:56.5

1:22.6

almost two years. Can I answer your question with just the word A-men? I mean, I asked the same

1:27.4

question. Why has it taken so long? And look, this is a failure. It's not going to doom the case,

1:32.8

but it's an unforeseen error by prosecutors. Let me explain why. Laura knows this. As a prosecutor,

1:38.0

you guard your witnesses gelously. If you get wind that you have someone who you think is an important

1:43.3

witness and someone else is poking around, another agency, another prosecutor's office,

1:47.1

you shut them down and you keep your witness away. Now, why? Is it because of greed? No, it's because

1:51.8

you don't want your witnesses exposed. So let's look at Brad Raffinsberger. We know he's testified

1:55.8

in front of the January 6th committee. There's a book on him. Literally, there's a transcript full of
