“A con man,” “a cheat,” “a racist," -- these are all phrases President Donald Trump's former attorney Michael Cohen used to describe the President today as he testified before Congress. How will Cohen’s testimony change the course of the investigations?

During this Politics Day conversation on River to River, host Ben Kieffer talks with political scientists Jim McCormick and Jonathan Hassid of Iowa State University. 

McCormick and Hassid also provide commentary about the second North Korean Trump-Kim Jong-un Summit, and Senate Finance Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley's invitation asking seven drugmakers to testify about drug prices.
