FBI Warns of Chinese Spies Posing as Recruiters

The longest government shutdown in U.S. history could come to an end Wednesday night, if the House passes the Senate's deal to reopen the government in a final vote.

The White House criticized Democrats for shutdown losses, and President Donald Trump doubled down on another fight—this one against the BBC. Could Trump sue for the broadcaster's editing of his Jan. 6, 2021, speech that some said made it appear he called for violence? And could the president send $2,000 tariff checks to Americans? We discuss the legal options with former Trump attorney Jim Trusty.

When will Americans feel things are going back to normal if the shutdown ends Wednesday night, and what will be the political consequences? We discuss with Mally Smith and Chet Love.
