Trump won’t try to move Georgia case to federal court

According to a new court filing, former President Trump’s lawyers say he won’t try and move the criminal charges brought against him by Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis to federal court. Trump’s lawyers had said he “may” try to get the case moved into the federal system, as part of a bid to invoke immunity protections for federal officers. Former U.S. Assistant Attorney Elie Honig joins AC360 to discuss the filing and explains why he was "stunned." Plus, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy refused to say if he would try to cut a deal with Democrats if the GOP conference can't coalesce around a plan to avert a shutdown. Republican Rep. Ken Buck tells Anderson "there's nothing worse than a shutdown" and it's an "embarrassment."  To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy Learn more about your ad choices.
