U.S. attorney prosecuting Comey faces legal challenge

Episode 317 | 5m 22s

President Trump’s Justice Department was on defense in a northern Virginia courtroom. A judge is weighing whether to disqualify the U.S. attorney pursuing charges against former FBI Director James Comey and New York Attorney General Letitia James. That prosecutor, Lindsay Halligan, is a Trump ally with no prosecutorial experience. Geoff Bennett discussed more with Glenn Kirschner.
