Summary
William Barr came to Congress to testify about the Mueller Report. He completely embarrassed himself, lied, provided cover to the President and made a mockery of the government. He used to have some credibility, but that is LONG gone. Democrats grilled him so mercilessly that he said he wouldn't come back for a second day of questioning that was scheduled. So what happens now? Robert Mueller MUST testify.
We talk to Jennifer Williams from Vox about the situation in Venezuela, Matt Ford from The New Republic and Caroline Fredrickson, author of THE DEMOCRACY FIX: How to Win the Fight for Fair Rules, Fair Courts, and Fair Elections
