Summary

The investigator is now being investigated. Former Special Counsel Jack Smith, who led two of the four criminal cases against then former President Donald Trump, is under scrutiny over allegations he was politically targeting the President. James Trusty, former federal prosecutor and former Trump attorney during the Jack Smith investigations, joins the Rundown to discuss the latest investigation. Home price listings have reached a new high, over $435,000 for the median U.S. home, according to the National Association of Realtors. As housing sales slow, it's one of the things on President Trump’s mind when he emphasizes the need for interest rates to come down. Real estate broker and star of 'Million Dollar Listing New York,' Kirsten Jordan, joins the show to discuss rising mortgage rates, the financial temptation to rent, and why younger buyers are facing issues which older generations did not. Plus, commentary from the host of “Tomi Lahren is Fearless" on Outkick, Tomi Lahren. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
