Just one day after his law license was suspended, Kenosha County District Attorney Xavier Solis had his ability to practice law restored, adding another twist to an already unusual story. Adam Roberts breaks down what led to the temporary suspension, why the Office of Lawyer Regulation says the issue stemmed from cooperation with an ongoing investigation, and how the reinstatement occurred so quickly. The discussion also examines Solis' turbulent tenure as district attorney, the limited information available to the public, and the unanswered questions that continue to surround the ongoing inquiry.
From business leaders and politicians to police officers and professional sports teams, this hour examines the people and institutions facing tough questions. The conversation includes a settlement involving Brewers owner Mark Attanasio, new estimates on the cost of tariffs for Wisconsin households, mounting concerns over the Packers' recent struggles, and a discussion of the body-camera footage at the center of a Milwaukee police shooting investigation. The hour concludes with Major Garrett's analysis of reports involving Donald Trump Jr., Russian connections, and the continuing debate over influence, ethics, and public accountability.
CBS News chief Washington correspondent Major Garrett joins the show to discuss reports that a lavish post-wedding celebration for Donald Trump Jr. was financed by Umar Kremlev, a Russian businessman with ties to the Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin's inner circle. Garrett breaks down what is known about the relationship, why ethics experts say the arrangement raises questions, and how gifts, favors, and personal relationships can create lasting obligations in politics and business. The conversation also explores comparisons to past scrutiny of presidential family finances, the role of influence and access in Washington, and why appearances can matter just as much as actions when public trust is on the line.
New details emerge in the officer-involved shooting of Printis Smith, as the family views body camera footage and raises questions about the encounter. Milwaukee Police Association President Alex Ayala, who has also seen the video, joins the show to discuss what the footage depicts, including the foot pursuit, the physical confrontation between the suspect and officer, and the moments leading up to the shooting. The conversation examines conflicting public narratives, the challenges officers face when responding to armed suspects, the impact of the incident on the injured officer, and the broader debate surrounding transparency, body camera footage, and public trust during critical investigations.
