Trump Faces New Criminal Investigations.
Donald Trump is facing multiple criminal investigations in Washington and New York, from suspected campaign ties to Russia, to receiving illegal foreign donations, to using hush money to benefit his presidential campaign. The judicial noose is tightening around Individual 1, and Trump’s inner circle. This is an update on the Trump-related investigations, including several by New York state. A news reporter also comments on the imminent shutdown of the federal government after Trump warned he wants funding in full for the border wall.
Guest: José López Zamorano, Reporter, Editor, Washington, DC.
Controversial Ruling Against Obamacare. The Affordable Care Act is still in effect despite a US judge in Texas declared it “unconstitutional” due to a change in federal tax law. Democratic states are vowing to appeal the decision. A health policy expert comments on the impact of this ruling on the healthcare law, the foreseeable next legal steps, the current Open Enrollment period in some states, and the plans in the new US Congress to help stabilize ACA’s insurance markets.
Guest: Leonardo Cuello, Director of Health Policy, National Health Law Program, Washington, DC.
