Summary
Rep Adam Schiff has opened an investigation into the financial ties between Donald Trump and Russia. Trump calls it "presidential harassment," but it's Congress doing their job for a change! He's just not used to it!
MORE scandal for the elected Democratic leaders of Virginia this week. After Governor Ralph Northam admitted to wearing blackface and Lt Gov Justin Farfax has serious sexual assault allegations brought against him, the THIRD in line, AG Mark Herring has now admitted that he also wore blackface at a party in the 1980s. If ALL of them step down, that means that a Republican could take over as governor. What a disaster.
We talk to Rep Earl Blumenauer (D-OR), Ginger Gibson from Reuters and Carolyn Fiddler from DailyKos.
