Michael Bender, political correspondent for the New York Times, talks with Alex Wagner about how Donald Trump is trying to calculate the best political light for his potential indictment and arrest in the Stormy Daniels hush money case, and Trump is motivated by a decades-long fear of being arrested regardless of what his posturing tries to express.

The Washington Post's Carol Leonnig and The Wall Street Journal's Michael Bender talk about the revelations from a new book about Donald Trump...including former Vice President Dan Quayle's advice to Mike Pence on overturning the 2020 election results.

Then-President Donald Trump told a number of his advisers in 2020 that whoever leaked information about his stay in the White House bunker in May of that year had committed treason and should be executed for sharing details about the episode with members of the press, according to excerpts of a new book, obtained by CNN, from Wall Street Journal reporter Michael Bender.

In his new book, "Frankly We Did Win This Election," Michael Bender describes the chaos inside the Trump administration. “They feared for the safety of the country and the future of this country because they thought this president was dangerous for the nation,” says Bender on the people working beside Trump.
