Washington Today

Former FBI Dir James Comey indicted and other top stories this week


Listen Later

While Congress is out of session, and President Donald Trump spent the day in New York at the Ryder Cup golf tournament, Washington Today look at some of the major stories this past week, including:

*Former FBI Director James Comey is indicted for lying to Congress. President Trump says it is justice and not revenge against a political opponent.

*Deadly shooting at an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) facility in Dallas leads to more bipartisan calls for an end to politically-inspired violence.

*Chances grow for a federal government will shut down with Republicans and Democrats seemingly far apart on a funding deal.

*FDA warns that using pain reliever acetaminophen in Tylenol during pregnancy increases the risk of autism. President Trump goes further, saying 'don't take Tylenol if you are pregnant.'

*United Nations General Assembly meets  to hear speeches from

President Trump and other world leaders. Today, Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu spoke, but not before a mass walkout of delegates in protest.
