Former police officer Michael Fanone celebrated the newest indictment against former President Donald Trump by comparing the event to the U.S. military killing Osama bin Laden.

Fanone --- a former Washington, D.C., police officer who was injured in the Jan. 6 riots at the U.S. Capitol and who now works as a CNN analyst — expressed joy that Trump was indicted for alleged conspiracies related to the 2020 presidential election.

The statement clearly made Coates uncomfortable.

Unfortunately, she did not ask Fanone to clarify the "horrific acts" that he alleged Trump has committed, but the content of her follow up question --- asking Fanone whether he believes his rhetoric may help "cloud people's view of this indictment as a fair process" — suggested she thought the statement was extreme.

"You can imagine that is a very eyebrow-raising statement, to say the least, the notion of Osama bin Laden in comparison to Donald Trump," she said.
