Summary

Earlier this week, President Donald Trump announced the expansion of Operation Legend, a federal law enforcement effort to crack down on violent crime in America's major cities. Shortly after his press event, Fox News Rundown host Jessica Rosenthal spoke with Arkansas Republican Senator Tom Cotton about the program and how the federal government can address crime spikes and unrest in numerous cities across the country. In the segment that aired earlier this week, US Senator Cotton discussed the virus, mask-wearing and his controversial op-ed in "The New York Times" that led to the resignation of the newspaper's opinion editor. The original conversation was too long and we could not include everything the Senator had to say including his thoughts on our escalating tensions with China. On The Fox News Rundown Extra, you will hear the entire conversation with Arkansas Senator Tom Cotton. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
