Federal judge: Trump knew voter fraud claims were wrong

A federal judge says that former President Trump knows his claims about voter fraud during the 2020 election were wrong but “continued to tout those numbers, both in court and to the public.” Judge David O. Carter ordered the release of the emails from John Eastman, a former Trump attorney, to House investigators and said they are “sufficiently related to and in furtherance of a conspiracy to defraud the United States.” Conservative lawyer George Conway tells Anderson Cooper why he believes this is a “smoking gun” in the Georgia investigation that’s looking at efforts by the former President and his allies to overturn the 2020 election. Plus, Independent Sen. Bernie Sanders joins AC360 to discuss the upcoming midterm elections and why he’s warning Democrats to not focus solely on the issue of abortion.

Guests: George Conway, Sen. Bernie Sanders.
