About this episode

Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear says the death toll now stands at 74 and 109 people are still unaccounted for after tornadoes tore through the state. Indianapolis Fire Department Division Chief Thomas Neal came to Kentucky to help and is leading the search and rescue efforts. He tells Anderson Cooper he has “high confidence” everyone is accounted for at a candle factory that was devastated by the tornado. 

Plus, the January 6 committee investigating the attack on the Capitol unanimously voted to hold former President Trump’s chief of staff Mark Meadows in contempt of Congress after he stopped cooperating. Rep. Zoe Lofgren is a member of the committee. She joins AC360 to discuss why she voted to hold her former colleague in contempt.
