Feds: Russia and Iran have interfered with presidential election

The Director of National Intelligence John Ratcliffe announced both Iran and Russia have obtained U.S. voter registration information in an effort to interfere in the 2020 presidential election. Andrew McCabe, former Deputy Director of the FBI and CNN Contributor, tells Anderson Cooper this is a threat so significant that it should be led by the President of the United States. Plus, former President Obama was out on the campaign trail for his friend and former Vice President, Joe Biden. He gave a blistering speech about Pres. Trump and argued he “hasn’t show any interest in doing the work or helping anybody but himself and his friends or treating the presidency like a reality show he can use to get attention.” Reggie Love is a former Special Assistant and Personal Aide to Pres. Obama. He joins AC360 to react to the former President’s speech and says he thinks it was based around the idea of wanting to remind people their voice matters.
