Summary
Donald Trump went to the US-Mexican border to to try and make another pitch for his stupid wall. He actually said that he NEVER SAID that Mexico would pay for the wall directly. The Washington Post has found over 200 instances of Trump saying Mexico would pay. He's a liar, but what else is new.
Also, Michael Cohen WILL testify publicly in front of Congress. What light could he shed on Trump's campaign finances?
We talk to Joe Perticone from Business Insider, Matt Gertz from Media Matters and Adele Stan from RightWingWatch.
