The wildfires scorching Maui are now 80% contained and the full extent of the devastation is now being discovered. CNN's Bill Weir was one of the first journalists to get to Lahaina to access the damage. Also, Tiffany Winn’s Lahaina business was destroyed by the flames. She describes what she found when she returned to the town. And in politics, Florida Governor Ron DeSantis fired state attorney Monique Worrell on Wednesday, saying in an executive order that the Orlando-area prosecutor didn't pursue mandatory sentences for gun crimes and drug trafficking. He also claimed that showed "neglect of duty and incompetence." Worrell joins AC360° and says the governor is “pushing false narratives” and “weaponizing” the Florida constitution.
