The Jimmy Carter Scenario
Evan Osnos, staff writer for The New Yorker and author of, now in paperback, Age of Ambition: Chasing Fortune, Truth, and Faith in the New China (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2014), and Susan Page, Washington bureau chief for USA Today, talk about the latest news from D.C. and the future of the Trump-Russia investigations since James Comey's termination.
How likely is the fallout and pending investigation to lead to impeachment?
"What is more likely is that President Trump will lose his political clout," said Page. "He will be undercut in the way that Jimmy Carter was."
