单集简介 ...

When President Trump left the NATO summit in Turkey last month, he covertly switched planes because the government had received reports of an Iranian threat on Trump’s life. We discuss the significance of the president’s maneuver, which left the traveling White House press corps out of the loop. And we discuss how the pro-Israel group AIPAC’s increased spending on elections may not be yielding the results the group was hoping for. This episode: voting correspondent Miles Parks, Pentagon correspondent Tom Bowman, White House correspondent Deepa Shivaram, and congressional correspondent Barbara Sprunt.
