The episode discusses the Justice Department's halt on the anti-weaponization fund and the controversy surrounding Senate nominee Graham Platner.
The Justice Department said Monday that it will stop work on the $1.8 billion "anti-weaponization" fund following a district judge's decision temporarily blocking the establishment of the program.
