Trump has told some advisers he’ll refuse to leave the White House

Pres. Trump has told some advisers he will refuse to leave the White House on Inauguration Day with one source saying “he’s throwing a f***ing tantrum” but “he's going to leave. He's just lashing out." Meanwhile, Trump is weighing pardons for more than two dozen people in his orbit. One source told CNN “it’s turned crazy” and there are so many requests for pardons or commutations that there’s a spreadsheet to keep track of them. CNN Chief Political Analyst Gloria Borger and CNN Political Commentator Van Jones join AC360 to discuss Trump’s final days in the White House. Plus, Democratic Senator Chris Murphy gave an impassioned speech on the Senate floor about some of his Republican colleagues’ false accusations of voter fraud and how he worries it could lead to the end of American democracy. He tells Anderson Cooper “their allegiance is first and foremost to Donald Trump” and “they’re willing to do anything to keep him in power even if it means overturning the election.”
