Summary

Countless states have filed lawsuits against President Trump’s executive order, “Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections,” which includes mandatory proof of citizenship or voter ID and requirements for states’ to cooperate with the DOJ on election fraud-related cases. Former Congressman, host of Sunday Night in America, and host of the Trey Gowdy Podcast, Trey Gowdy joins the Rundown to discuss why the increased amount of lawfare against the President’s executive power threatens to disturb the equilibrium between the three branches. Today marks one week until Tax Day, and for millions of Americans, the word "taxes" is synonymous with stress. A recent internal survey from TurboTax shows that one in five Americans would prefer to speak in front of a crowd rather than tackle their taxes. It’s estimated that nearly one quarter of Americans wait until the last minute to file. Kemberly Washington, a certified public accountant and tax reporter for Bankrate, joins the Rundown to discuss why many people depend on annual refunds, the free resources available, and tips for filing taxes. Plus, commentary from FOX News Digital columnist David Marcus. Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
