Summary
The House votes to end the partial government shutdown, and the legislation makes its way to President Trump's desk. Caitlin Huey-Burns is on Capitol Hill with more. Survivors are continuing to push for the Epstein files to be taken down from the Department of Justice website due to a lack of redactions that expose victims, while Fmr. Secy of State Hillary Clinton and Fmr. Pres. Bill Clinton agree to testify in front of the House Oversight committee, as part of their investigation. Scott MacFarlane explains all the moving threads. Plus, Texas Republican Congressman Troy Nehls is set to leave office, but his twin brother, Trever, has plans to replace him in the House. Major interviews both twins on a range of topics, from the government shutdown, immigration enforcement and even their favorite movies. All that and more on The Takeout!
