Katelyn Polantz, CNN's senior legal correspondent, reported during "The Arena" on Wednesday that Trump prosecutors sought testimony from mobster Sammy "The Bull" Gravano about whether the now-infamous "86 47" picture that Comey posted on his Instagram could be a threat against the president's life.
