Summary

Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg filed a lawsuit against Congressman Jim Jordan (R-OH) this week, as the House Judiciary Committee continues to investigate the D.A.'s recent probe into former President Donald Trump. This legal battle takes place as a critical criminal investigation into former President Trump's alleged election interference efforts is finalized in Georgia. Fox News Senior Congressional Respondent Chad Pergram discusses the conflicting narratives behind these partisan investigations and addresses key issues for the GOP as the 2024 Presidential Election nears. Congress is back in session following a two-week pause, as headlines revolve around this week's mass shooting in Louisville, disputes over an FDA-approved abortion pill being taken to the Supreme Court, and a major leak of classified documents containing key information into Russia's war on Ukraine. Anchor of Fox News Sunday Shannon Bream explains legislators' approach to gun reform and abortion issues in response to these events and talks about the legal consequences that face Air National Guardsmen Jack Teixeira, the alleged leaker of the Pentagon's classified documents.
