Real-World Impacts of the Shutdown

The Justice Department indicted New York Attorney General Letitia James, an outspoken critic of President Trump, this week on allegations of fraud. It comes after the DOJ indicted another Trump critic, former FBI director James Comey, who was arraigned this week on charges alleging he lied to Congress.

Then, we get an update on the government shutdown, and talk about a cat's wild ride.

This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, political correspondent Ashley Lopez, national justice correspondent Carrie Johnson, and congressional reporter Sam Gringlas.
