Senator Sheldon Whitehouse joins to discuss Bondi's job performance and why she may have been left out of the loop on such a prominent case that is so important to Trump.Jen Psaki looks at how the effectiveness and increasing popularity of anti-Trump protests have driven some Republicans into hiding while Trump's closest acolytes have begun pushing weird lies and mischaracterizations of the events in the hopes of undercutting their energy.
