Anderson Cooper 360
Anderson Cooper brings you highlights from CNN's premier nightly news program AC360.
A new report from the New York Times alleges “federal investigators established a trail of payments from Matt Gaetz,” President-elect Trump’s pick for attorney general, “to women including some who testified that Mr. Gaetz hired them for sex.” According to the Times, the chart they obtained ”shows a web of thousands of dollars in Venmo payments between Mr. Gaetz and a group of his friends, associates, and women who had drug-fueled sex parties between 2017 and 2020.” Gaetz denies any wrongdoing since these allegations surfaced. The report comes after Republicans on the House Ethics Committee blocked the release of a report on the former Florida congressman. Kaitlan Collins is near Mar-a-lago with how this new report could further complicate Gaetz's nomination. Plus, 30 years after Susan Smith drowned her two children and blamed it on a black carjacker, she is up for parole. Gary Tuchman looks at the infamous case, her argument to go free, and how the parole board ruled.
