ANNOUNCER: This is CNN breaking news.</s>BALDWIN: You are watching CNN. I'm Brooke Baldwin. Thank you for being here. We begin with a major blow to an accusation President Trump made most of his presidency, that the FBI spied on his campaign. Now the "New York Times" is reporting that a long-awaited internal review found no evidence that the FBI attempted to place undercover agents or informants inside the Trump 2016 campaign. That conclusion reportedly comes from the inspector general, Michael Horowitz. Let's start there. Jennifer Rodgers is a CNN legal analyst and former federal prosecutor, and CNN correspondent, Josh Campbell, is a former FBI supervisory special agent. Jennifer, let me jump to -- I have "The Times" piece in front of me. Here are the three takeaways. One, that the I.G. found no evidence that the FBI attempted to place undercover agents or informants inside the Trump campaign. Two, that Horowitz found FBI leaders did not take politically motivated actions in pursuing a secret wiretap on former Trump campaign adviser, Carter Page. And three, Mr. Horowitz will sharply criticize FBI leaders for handling of the investigation. Which, Josh, I'll ask you about in a second. Number one, how much does his Horowitz report undermine the president's arguments?</s>JENNIFER RODGERS, CNN LEGAL ANALYST: Well, it really should be the death knell for these arguments, which never had any real factual basis and were just conspiracy theories to drum up support. I hope that now Michael Horowitz, who is a non-partisan, non-political appointee with a sterling reputation for integrity, has come out with his conclusions after an exhausted investigation, that people will now finally accept that the investigation was started in good faith using the right methods and that none of these conspiracy theories about wiretapping, putting spies in this camp had anybody merit in the first place.
