Summary

President Trump isn’t the only one calling the Democrats’ impeachment inquiry a witch hunt. Former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich says the Democrats’ investigation is unconstitutional and being run far differently than the impeachment of Bill Clinton that he spearheaded in 1998. Gingrich joins the Rundown to explain why he objects to the Democrats’ closed door hearings and to compare the current impeachment effort to the Salem witch trials. Former Secretary of Veterans Affairs Dr. David Shulkin, who served during the beginning of the Trump Administration and was fired by President Trump via tweet, is out with a new book “It Shouldn’t Be This Hard to Serve Your Country.” Sec. Shulkin describes what it was like to work at the VA. He also discusses America’s veteran suicide epidemic and why so many people, including himself, are so frustrated when it comes to serving in Washington D.C. Plus, commentary by Co-Host of the Tyrus and Timpf podcast, Kat Timpf. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
