After Trump is caught on tape discussing a classified Pentagon document about a potential attack on Iran, the former president’s team tries to defend him with an array of different excuses. CNN Tonight fact checks what they're saying. Plus, Ron DeSantis and his flip-flop on Dr. Fauci. On the campaign trail he calls him nasty names in an about-face from what he said about Biden's then Chief Medical Advisor at the height of the pandemic. Plus, how the anti-drag law in the Sunshine State is raining on Pride parades this year, and Melanie Zanona reports live from Capitol Hill on the Senate debt ceiling vote.
