About this episode
The episode discusses the DOJ's pause on the anti-weaponization fund following court rulings and features reporting on the Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Tonight, after two courts ruled against it and some Republican lawmakers all-but-mutinied over it, the DOJ is hitting pause on the president’s so-called "anti-weaponization fund.” Plus, exclusive reporting from CNN's Clarissa Ward, who gained extraordinary access to the so-called "red zone" at a hospital in Bunia, the epicenter of the latest Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
