House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-KY) and Congresswoman Katie Porter (D-CA) discuss how they've come together to introduce the Presidential Ethics Reform Act, in order to address this concern head on.

Common Ground: Restoring Americans' Trust in the Government

Following closing arguments in former President Donald Trump's hush money trial, Americans could hear a verdict in the high-profile case within the week.

Wall Street Editorial Board Member Bill McGurn, FOX News Radio Political Analyst Josh Kraushaar, and FOX News Political Analyst Juan Williams discuss their thoughts on the trial as it wraps up, what political impact the verdict could have, and recent polls that have President Biden trailing former President Trump despite his legal battles.

Common Ground: Bringing Manufacturing Back to America

A helicopter crash over the weekend has launched tensions in the Middle East to new heights, following news that the incident killed the Iranian President and Foreign Minister. Additionally, overseas, the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court claims he's seeking arrest warrants for both Israeli and Hamas leaders due to their committing 'war crimes and crimes against humanity'. 
In the U.S., a new chapter in former President Donald Trump's trial is approaching -- after the prosecution and defense have both rested their cases without having the former President take the stand. To discuss this & more, FOX News White House Correspondent Jacqui Heinrich, Democratic Pollster Carly Cooperman, and Republican Strategist Colin Reed join Bret for this week's All-Star Panel.
