What do Chesebro and Powell pleas mean for Fulton Trump case?

Georgia State University law professor Anthony Michael Kreis joins Greg Bluestein, Bill Nigut, Tia Mitchell and Patricia Murphy to discuss how far the guilty pleas of Sidney Powell and Kenneth Chesebro can go in proving Fani Willis’ election conspiracy case against the remaining defendants, especially Donald Trump, Rudolph Giuliani, John Eastman and the Georgia fake electors. Then: It’s another day of déjà vu all over again on Capitol Hill as GOP House members still have no nominee for speaker of the House. Georgia’s Austin Scott has thrown his hat back in the ring. But he’s now just one of as many as nine other candidates. What chances does he have to win the gavel? Plus, Patricia Murphy points out how the chaotic speaker battle reveals that the MAGA wing of the party is undermining the traditional Republican Party in Washington and here in Georgia. And Greg Bluestein reports that GOP legislative leaders who want to us the new state commission set up to discipline district attorneys may not be able to use it against Fani Willis.
