Summary

Correspondent Scott Pelley reports on the recent firings and resignations at the U.S. Department of Justice. Correspondent Lesley Stahl reports on President Trump’s efforts to halt the work and cut the funding of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, an enforcement agency that was created in response to the 2008 financial crisis. Host John Oliver's highly lauded show, "Last Week Tonight," gives him a Sunday night platform to unleash searing, satirical takes on the politics and problems of America, his adopted homeland. So how did this Brit become one of this country's sharpest comedians? Correspondent Bill Whitaker travels to the U.K., and goes behind-the-scenes in New York, to trace Oliver’s comedic journey.
