President Trump: “We are in a good place”
President Trump claims the country is “in a good place” despite more than 131,000 people dying from COVID-19 and the U.S. seeing the highest single day of new COVID-19 cases. A key model now projects more than 208,000 deaths by November. Dr. Chris Murray is the director of the group at the University of Washington that’s been working on the models throughout the pandemic. He tells Anderson Cooper that kids going back to school and the seasons changing contribute to the higher projection. Plus, President Trump’s niece accuses him of being a “sociopath” in her forthcoming tell-all book. She also claims he hired and paid someone to take his SATs but the White House says that is false. Maggie Haberman, White House Correspondent for the New York Times and CNN Political Analyst, has been reporting on the book and has been covering Donald Trump for years. She joins AC360 to discuss the portrait the book paints of the Trump family. Airdate: July 7, 2020
