Former President Trump appeared in court for his third indictment and pleaded not guilty to four criminal charges related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election that he lost to now-President Joe Biden. The next hearing in the case is scheduled for August 28, just five days after the first Republican presidential primary debate. Former Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez tells Anderson Cooper that based on the allegations special counsel Jack Smith laid out in the indictment, he also would have brought this case. Plus, Democratic Rep. Zoe Lofgren, a member of the House select committee that investigated the January 6 attack on the Capitol, joins AC360 to react to the former President’s court appearance.
