Inside The Transcript of the Trump Dossier Firm's Interview

Devlin Barrett, who covers national security and law enforcement for The Washington Post, and Andrea Bernstein, WNYC's senior editor for politics and policy, talk about the much-discussed transcript of the Senate Judiciary Committee’s interview with the head of Fusion GPS.

@AndreaWNYC on the Deutsche Bank line of investigating: Many banks wouldn't loan to Trump bc of his history of bankruptcies. Deutsche Bank was one of the few who'd lend to him -- so the question is, who backed those loans? (Maybe someone with ties to Russia...?)

@DevlinBarrett says what leaps out to him about this transcript is he doesn't know why anyone would expect Congress to solve these riddles -- as Congress is "locked in a...partisan, bitter tug-of-war of which direction this all should go in."
