Last Wednesday, on a baseball field in Alexandria, VA, Republican Congressman Steve Scalise and three others were shot, including a Capitol Hill police officer who lives in Baltimore County. Congressional leaders vowed to tamp down their vitriolic rhetoric. But in a week that included the anniversary of the worst mass killing in US history, there seems to be no end in sight to this violence, even in our political discourse.
Maryland Attorney General Brian Frosh and DC Attorney General Karl Racine filed a lawsuit against President Trump for what they say is a violation of anti-corruption clauses in the Constitution. Congress has filed a suit too. Jeff Sessions gave often defiant testimony to the Senate Intel Committee on Tuesday. And there are now published reports confirming that President Trump is himself a subject of an investigation into possible obstruction of justice. Plenty to talk about with Tom's News Wrap guests, Ayesha Rascoe, a White House correspondent for Reuters, and Alan Walden, who was last year's Republican candidate for Mayor of Baltimore.
