Biden urges the world to stand firm in support of Ukraine Sep 20, 2023

Show notes

The New York Times is reporting that Molly Michael, a former assistant to Donald Trump, told investigators that the former president instructed her to not tell them about the classified documents he kept at his Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida. According to the Times, she told investigators about the comments when she was interviewed as part of the inquiry into Trump’s handling of sensitive government documents. The Times says the details are from a person briefed on her comments. Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Elie Honig tells Anderson Cooper he thinks this is “potentially devastating evidence” and could hurt the former president’s defense. Plus, while speaking at the United Nations General Assembly, President Biden urged the world to stand up to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and be firm in their support of President Volodymyr Zelensky and his country. Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton is a veteran and member of the Armed Services Committee. He joins AC360 to discuss why it’s important for the U.S. to continue supporting Ukraine.

Trump acknowledges he was told 2020 election lies were false Sep 19, 2023

Show notes

Former President Trump admitted that he was told the 2020 election lies were false but continued spewing the false claims to try and overturn the results. In an interview over the weekend, the former president said he didn’t respect his attorneys who told him he had lost the election and instead he “respected many others that said the election was rigged.” Harvard Law Professor Laurence Tribe tells Anderson Cooper if he thinks Trump undermined his own defense by saying it was his decision to go after the 2020 election results. Plus, CNN Chief International Correspondent Clarissa Ward gives AC360 an exclusive look at what Wagner’s post-Yevgeny Priogozhin future looks like in the Central African Republic. The former Wagner boss died in a plane crash just two months after he and his mercenaries launched an armed insurrection on Russia.

McCarthy calls for formal impeachment inquiry into Biden Sep 13, 2023

Show notes

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is calling on three committees to open a formal impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
