Summary

The main focus in Washington this week has been immigration, and the efforts to strike a bipartisan deal on DACA — the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals Program. The administration also announced it will allow states to impose work requirements for Medicaid. And Senator Dianne Feinstein has a new nickname from Trump - sneaky Dianne - after she unilaterally released the transcript of a Senate interview with the head of Fusion GPS, the research firm behind the infamous Steele dossier. This episode, host/congressional correspondent Scott Detrow, congressional reporter Kelsey Snell, justice reporter Ryan Lucas and national political correspondent Mara Liasson.
