Mueller Hearing.
Special Counsel Bob Mueller testifies today before Congress to answer additional questions about his report on ties between Russia and Trump’s campaign and obstruction of justice. On other news, the House votes down a motion to impeach President Trump. At his testifying before two committees, Mueller stated that his report proves that Russia interfered in the 2016 election with the purpose of benefitting Trump’s election, that his report didn’t exonerate Trump, and that the president can be indicted after he leaves office. Listeners call in to comment on the special investigation.
Guests: (Audio Cuts) Rep. Jerrold Nadler, Chairman, House Judiciary Committee, US House, Washington, DC; Rep. Debbie Mucarsel-Powell, D-Florida, Washington, DC.

Immigrant advocates are now questioning the role of local police in this violent incident and consider suing ICE.
