Summary

Yahoo News White House Correspondent Hunter Walker and Former Deputy Trump campaign manager Rick Gates join Michael Isikoff and Daniel Klaidman on "Skullduggery." First, Walker talks about President Trump's release from Walter Reed just days after testing positive for Covid-19 and the uptick in White House staff that now too has tested positive. Why does Trump continually put his staff and those that work near him in danger? Then, Gates talks about some surprising comments Trump made back in 2016 about his now Vice President Mike Pence.
