Preet Bharara: Life After the Mueller Report
By now you know what's in the Mueller report and the spin-masters have told you what to think. But the most important takeaway isn't only about Trump. It's also about Putin. Today Ian Bremmer talks Mueller report big picture with a man who oversaw investigations into suspected Russian organized crime, former U.S. attorney Preet Bharara.
Dems Consider Impeachment: US Politics in 60 Seconds
Is the impeachment of President Trump more likely following the Mueller Report?
Well, it's slightly more likely, but still very unlikely to happen. There's not widespread public support. It would be very dangerous for Democrats to impeach. They'd rather just keep talking about it. Hold hearings, bring Miller up to the Hill, make it an issue in 2020.
What happened to Beto-mentum?
Well, he's been underwhelming on the stump and people are wondering where are the policy ideas. At a time when somebody like Elizabeth Warren seems to come out with new big ideas every day, he's got to step it up.
Will big GOP donors line up with Trump in 2020?
Yes, they already are. People who supported Jeb Bush, Mitt Romney, they're all starting to line up with Trump, because they like the tax cuts and don't want to see a Democrat win.
Is there bipartisan support for lowering drug prices?
There is. It's a big issue for Trump, it's a big issue for Democrats. Possibility if one thing happens in this Congress this year it will be a bipartisan effort to lower drug prices.

Waiting for the Mueller Report: US Politics in 60 Seconds
How are Americans feeling about President Trump's tax cut bill?
Well, not very good. Polls suggests that it remains really unpopular. People feel like the rich and corporations got most of that tax cut and they didn't get very much.
What's the Dems' biggest achievement in their first 100 days in the House?
I'd say it's oversight of the Trump administration, having the gavels, calling people like Bill Barr up to testify. That'll continue to be their number one role in the House since they don't control the Senate.
Will the Mueller report reveal more details of collusion?
I'd say it's much more likely to give us details about potential obstruction rather than collusion, but I'm not sure there will be huge blockbusters in there.
Is President Trump moving to consolidate power?
Obviously he is. He's cleared out DHS, he's got acting directors or leaders in six agencies not Senate confirmed. He's absolutely moving to consolidate power in himself and the executive branch.

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen Resigns: US Politics in 60 Seconds
What will Attorney General William Barr reveal about the Mueller Report when he testifies on the Hill?
I don't think very much he'll defend his summary and say that more will be revealed once the redaction period is over and you can put out the full report. So he'll probably evade a lot of tough questions.
Will DHS go in a tougher direction now that Secretary Nielsen is gone?
Trump certainly hope so. More zero-tolerance policy at the border, fewer asylum refugees let in, and he certainly wants to go much tougher with Secretary Neilsen gone.
Can Dems stop the logjam on emergency aid on Capitol Hill?
Well they'll try with a bill that adds money for disaster relief in the Midwest. But the issue of Puerto Rico disaster funding is still going to be a problem in the Senate. So I'm not sure the logjam is over.
Can the New York State legislature force the release of President Trump's tax returns?
Well they're certainly going to try with a new bill to do that. Democrats control the state so you'd think that they could but there's still a lot of questions about whether this would be a bad precedent to force the release of a single person's tax return. So the effort will be there. I'm not sure it'll be successful.

Maggie Haberman on Trump and the challenges of White House correspondence
The night before our interview, The New York Times' star White House reporter Maggie Haberman published a bombshell scoop that President Trump wanted to fire Mueller as early as June of last year.
On our show, Haberman talks about Trump's obsession with the Russia probe, the challenges of covering the most unusual White House in modern US history, and recalls another time when the president's aides (temporarily) stopped him from firing a high-powered investigator...
