Listen Later

Commerce Depart says the United States economy as measured by the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) shrank in the first quarter of the year by 0.3%, first time in three years. There was a surge in imports as companies tried to stock up before the President Donald Trump's high tariffs take effect. We get reaction from President Trump at a Cabinet meeting at the White House and from Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY); Senate is expected to pass a resolution to disapprove of the national emergency declaration the president is using as the legal basis for the global tariffs; U.S. Customs & Border Protection Commissioner nominee Rodney Scott testifies before the Senate Finance Committee, asked about allegations he helped cover-up the death of an immigrant in Border Patrol Custody in 2010; Supreme Court hears oral argument in a case from Oklahoma about the constitutionality of states supporting religious charter schools. We talk with Washington Post Education Reporter Laura Meckler. (40)
