DOJ urges Supreme Court to stay out of documents fight

The Justice Department is urging the Supreme Court to reject former President Trump’s request that it intervene in his legal battle and allow the special master to review the classified documents seized at Mar-a-Lago. The DOJ called the records “extraordinarily sensitive” and warned if they were reviewed it could “jeopardize national security.” Former federal judge Nancy Gertner tells Anderson Cooper whether she thinks the DOJ will win this fight.

Walker’s campaign has been rocked by allegations the former football star, who supports a national abortion ban without exception, asked an ex-girlfriend to have the procedure twice and paid for it on the occasion she did. Washington Post reporter Annie Linskey joins AC360 to discuss new details surrounding the alleged abortion.
