Week In The News: Opioids, Russia, GOP Battle (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Reckless, dangerous and debasing the nation. Hard words on President Trump this week from two Republican senators. But they’re leaving Washington, where the train rolls on. The way cleared for a big tax bill this week. Details, and a fight, to follow. Consumer rights against big banks curtailed. The president talking opioid emergency, tangled in a Gold Star fight. We’ve got Republicans, Democrats and the Trump dossier. General Mattis in the DMZ. New harassment charges every day. This hour, On Point: Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. --Tom Ashbrook
