Special counsel goes to Supreme Court to resolve if Trump has immunity from prosecution

The Supreme Court said it will expedite special counsel Jack Smith’s request to determine if former President Trump has immunity from criminal prosecution for allegedly committing crimes while he was in the White House. It’s an attempt by Smith to keep the trial on track for early March 2024. CNN Senior Legal Analyst Elie Honig tells Anderson Cooper if he thinks the Supreme Court will take the case. Plus, Secretary of State Antony Blinken spoke with an Israeli war cabinet member about the remaining hostages in Gaza and the increasing humanitarian crisis there. Ifat Kalderon's cousin, Ofer, is still believed to be held hostage in Gaza. She joins AC360 to talk about the situation and says "it's not an option" that Ofer doesn't come back alive.
