Summary
A federal judge in the Michael Flynn trial made clear that all of the conspiracy theories and defenses that the White House has been pushing for months were total BS, baloney, hogwash. The WH will continue to use the same lies, but it's been made very clear: They are lies. Michael Flynn himself admitted it.
A big win for the Trump administration yesterday as we saw criminal justice reform. It's a good step and a bipartisan win.
We talk to Ed Chung from the Center for American Progress, Olivia Beavers from The Hill and Zoe Tillman from Buzzfeed.
