So much happening in
the world of politics this week, what with the House of Representatives
narrowly passing a budget resolution and Sen. Jeff Flake (R-AZ) announcing he
will not be seeking reelection. Helping
us to make some sense of it all is Michele Jawando, Vice President
of legal progress at the Center for American Progress, and don’t forget to
check out THINKING CAP, the podcast she does every Thursday with our friend
Igor Volsky!
Back in July, Congress
sent President Donald Trump a bill that slapped new sanctions on Russia, the
president signed the legislation reluctantly while at the same time claiming it
was an example of congressional overreach.
However, since July Trump’s administration has blown past an October 1
deadline to implement the sanctions and lawmakers are now searching for answers
as to whether the president is even planning to follow the law that they passed
and he signed. Joining me today to talk
all about the sanctions put in place and the Trump administration’s active
efforts to weaken a core part of the sanctions bill is Andrew Desiderio, who is The Daily Beast’s Congressional and national security reporter.
