A "dark day for democracy" or a way to "right the wrongs" of the past?
Jenna takes you inside the White House Press Briefing room, where the Vice President focused on two major topics: Iran and a controversial DOJ settlement creating a $1.77 billion Anti-Weaponization Fund.
Vance says he can’t know if Iran will ultimately reach a deal and suggests it’s unclear what Iran wants.
Jenna provides some background on a new settlement t related to a lawsuit brought by President Trump over allegedly leaked tax returns.
We discuss unanswered questions about how the new "Anti-Weaponization" fund will operate - who qualifies, how claims will be vetted and why critics argue this is "corruption in plainest sight."
