Summary

A new report from House Oversight Committee shows Donald Trump took at least $7.8M from foreign governments while in office. The report says 20 nations made payments to Trump’s business during a two-year period. Then critics say ‘No Labels’, the group weighing a bi-partisan unity ticket for president in November, could end up handing Trump the election. And Claudine Gay’s resignation at Harvard is just the latest battle over diversity equity and inclusion. From college campuses to corporate America, leaders are weighing how and whether to openly back DEI. Peter Baker, Carol Leonnig, Barbara McQuade, Maria Teresa Kumar, Reed Galen, Matt Bennett, and David Gura join.
