It has been a busy week in politics. Bloomberg News reported that Special Investigator Robert Mueller is looking into President Trump’s personal financial dealings — something the President warned would be crossing a “red line” and outside the scope of Mueller’s investigation into Russian election interference. That warning came during an interview with the New York Times in which President Trump also said that we would never have appointed Attorney General Jeff Sessions if he knew Sessions were going to recuse himself from the Russia investigation. Also, after a week where Senate Republicans failed to repeal the Affordable Care Act, the Congressional Budget Office reports that about 32 million people would lose health insurance over the next decade under the Senate’s most recent plan to repeal the ACA. Our round table of reporters and experts discuss the latest news from Capitol Hill.
