July 08, 2021 Assassination of Haiti's President
Haiti's President was assassinated in his home. It would be a shattering development to any country. But Haiti has had more than its share of misfortune - whether from poverty, natural disaster, or now, political violence. A journalist in Haiti joins Anderson to talk about what is happening right now. In Florida, there is the grim but sadly not unexpected breaking news on the condo collapse. The search and rescue effort is now a recovery operation with the fatality number rising sharply today as the work there goes on. Also, the former president is trying to take social media to court for banning him while uttering the kind of inflammatory things that got him barred in the first place. We're joined by First Amendment scholar, Laurence Tribe, who weighs in on the lawsuit.

July 07, 2021 6 Months since the Insurrection
It’s six months to the day since the attack on the Capitol. The FBI and the Department of Justice released new videos today from the January 6 insurrection in hopes getting the public's continued help with identifying the alleged rioters. Congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois joins Anderson to discuss. And a warning today from President Biden on Covid. Despite cases and deaths being down 90-percent since January, he says the Delta variant should be taken very seriously. According to the CDC, that variant now accounts for more than half of all new infections in the U.S. The President's warning comes in wake of word from the Israeli government, that as the Delta variant has spread there, efficacy of the Pfizer vaccine has fallen. Dr. Anthony Fauci, Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, and the President's Chief Medical Advisor talks about the latest concerns.

July 02, 2021 Trump CFO indicted on 15 felony counts, alleged 15-year tax scheme
New York prosecutors charged the Trump Organization and its chief financial officer, Allen Weisselberg, with an alleged 15-year tax scheme. The Trump Organization CFO was charged with 15 felony counts in connection with the alleged scheme stretching back to 2005 "to compensate Weisselberg and other Trump Organization executives in a manner that was 'off the books.'" Timothy O’Brien is the author of “TrumpNation: The Art of Being the Donald” and a senior columnist for Bloomberg Opinion. He tells AC360 he thinks the “function of this indictment” is to “encourage Allen Weisselberg to flip” against former President Trump. Plus, President Joe Biden and First Lady Jill Biden traveled to Surfside, Florida to meet with search and rescue personnel, first responders and some of the families of the victims and the 145 people still accounted for in the deadly condo collapse. Surfside Mayor Charles Burkett joins AC360 to discuss the President’s visit and to give an update on the search and rescue efforts.
