The Brian Lehrer Show | Apr 4, 2019
Coming up on today's show:
- Hakeem Jeffries, U.S. Representative (NY-8) and House Democratic caucus chairman, discusses the latest on the House Judiciary Committee's attempts to force the Justice Department to release the full Mueller report, plus the House of Rep's request for years of President Trump's tax returns and more national news.
-
Susan Lerner, executive director of Common Cause New York, and Chisun Lee, senior counsel in the Democracy Program at the Brennan Center for Justice, react to the ethics and elections reforms included in the New York budget, including the creation of a commission to deal with campaign finance reform, rather than legislating the reforms themselves.
- Dr. Chinazo Cunningham, physician, researcher and professor of medicine at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine, talks about what doctors know about medical cannabis and how the industry works to help patients in New York State.
- George Papadopoulos, the first person to plead guilty in the Mueller Investigation, a former adviser to President Trump and HUD secretary Ben Carson and the author of Deep State Target: How I Got Caught in the Crosshairs of the Plot to Bring Down President Trump (Diversion Books, 2019), talks about his theory of the Russian investigation.
