About this episode

A source tells CNN the House Select Committee investigating the January 6 attack on the Capitol is considering recommending the Department of Justice pursue at least three criminal charges against former President Trump. The criminal charges being considered are obstruction of an official proceeding, conspiracy to defraud the federal government, and insurrection. Elliot Williams is a former federal prosecutor and former deputy assistant attorney general. He tells Anderson Cooper whether he thinks a criminal referral helps or hurts the DOJ.

Plus, former Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson joins AC360 to discuss the influx of migrants at the Texas-Mexico border and how the problem can be fixed.
