Crimes with mishandling classified information and obstruction of that investigation. those are serious federal crimes. but there are other individuals in the country over years who have been charged with those crimes. no former president has been charged with this. i think the historical significance is really important. i also want to follow up from something that katelyn and my colleague david aaron were speaking about which is the fact in this case right now the former president is the only defendant. and while i understand that there may be strategic reasons why the special counsel did that in terms of the case potentially being able to move more quickly, i do think from an optics standpoint and from how the public will understand this case it is important that they understand it was a conspiracy of more than one person, a conspiracy under the law requires more than one person. and the fact that we don t yet know who the other named ....
Voting rights act and gerrymandering and anti-gerrymandering, we re at a time when voting rights have been on the chopping block for quite some time in this country. when we talk about the notion of this being a clear and present danger and ongoing threat as former congresswoman liz cheney spoke about beyond, this was their signal to say this could be an ongoing threat. part of the goal of prosecution is not only just to punish, it s also to deter conduct. so trying to ensure this will not happen again is very significant. general specific deterrent. specific deterrents of this one individual who, as bolton pointed out, secretary bolton pointed out to jake, he he would try to finish the job if he gets back into office. let s throw it back to anderson in new york. anderson? thank you so much. i want to check in with paula and katelyn outside the courthouse. explain where we re at in this proceeding. reporter: well, our colleagues who are inside the courthouse giving us min ....

Ally rudy giuliani decided to scapegoat me and my daughter shay. i don t want to go anywhere. i second guess everything that i do. it s affected my life in a major way, in every way, all because of lies. so we still have to see how the judge in this lawsuit is going to respond to what giuliani is saying here and what happens in the criminal investigation and other investigations, but we just did get a statement from their lawyer from ruby freeman and shayne moss lawyer from giuliani saying a major milestone in their fight for justice. katelyn polantz. thank you, katelyn. terrifying moments just outside our window in the cnn headquarters. this crane collapses at a construction site. you are looking at the ....
