Summary
Our "Full Measure with Sharyl Attkisson" investigation dug in to find the real numbers: How much U.S. tax money has Puerto Rico received two years after its double hurricanes? And why are so many Puerto Rican officials, contractors and federal FEMA officials being arrested by the F.B.I.? Investigative Producer Daniel Steinberger joins Sharyl for this episode.
