Summary
We've seen years of enabling of Donald Trump by Republicans, but there are some glimmers of hope that the Senate is actually working the way that it's supposed to. Guest host Jason Dick explains some of the moves that they've recently made to show their independence from Trump.
Still LOTS of legal problems for Trump. We talk about them with Todd Ruger, Legal Affairs Staff Writer for Roll Call and Ginger Gibson from Reuters!
