Today is the 5th anniversary of the death of Eric Garner and yesterday we found out that the Justice Department will not bring federal charges against Daniel Pantaleo , the New York City police officer who put Garner in a chokehold that later led to his death. Carl Takei, senior staff attorney at the ALCU, joins us to discuss why no charges were filed and if there is any other disciplinary action yet to come for Pantaleo.
Next, as Operation Varsity Blues works its way through the courts with parents and coaches who were charged in the college admissions cheating scandal we take a look at how USC is investigating the students who have been connected to the scandal. 33 students are under investigation to see what they knew or if they lied on their applications. Joel Rubin, reporter for the LA Times, joins us for a look inside the admissions investigation.
Finally, a cash shortage may soon be squeezing the huge Democratic field of presidential candidates. Nearly half of the candidates spent more campaign cash than they raised in the second quarter of the year. Early money is more important than ever because candidates are forced to spend heavily to meet polling and donor thresholds to qualify for debates. David Siders, reporter for Politico, joins us for who is in danger.
