Summary

House Judiciary Chairman Jim Jordan (R-OH) is demanding answers from former Special Counsel Jack Smith, who has been subpoenaed to testify after federal investigators secretly accessed lawmakers’ phone records. Jordan joins the Rundown to explain what his committee wants to learn from Smith and why some want that testimony made public. Plus, with a year-end deadline approaching on Obamacare subsidies, he discusses what failure to act could mean for millions of Americans facing higher insurance premiums. Illegal, unregulated e-cigarettes are flooding into the U.S., many of them marketed to kids and packed with unknown contaminants. Federal officials have launched a major crackdown, seizing millions of dollars’ worth of Chinese-made vapes and warning retailers who continue to sell them. Former North Carolina Senator and Chair of the Coalition for Smarter Regulation of Nicotine, Richard Burr, joins the Rundown to explain how these illegal vape products are flooding the U.S. market, why many are designed to target kids, and what tougher enforcement could mean for consumers and retailers.
