Summary

The issue over President Trump’s tax returns has been an ongoing battle between Mr. Trump and the Democrats for years. Now the Supreme Court has decided to take up three major cases regarding the president’s financial records and his right to keep them secret. Former U.S. assistant attorney Andrew McCarthy weighs in on the fight, the legal ramifications and why the Democrats may want them so bad. During their first year in Congress, the four Democratic lawmakers known as The Squad, led by New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, quickly rose to stardom. In an attempt to combat them, four Republican women running for Congress decided to band together become the Conservative Squad. Jessica Taylor from Alabama, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, Beth Van Duyne of Texas and Minnesota’s Michelle Fischbach join the Rundown to discuss their races, impeachment and why they’re so opposed to Rep. Ocasio-Cortez and her progressive “Squad”. Plus, commentary by Democratic Strategist and FOX News Contributor Jessica Tarlov. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
