About this episode

The episode discusses the second indictment of James Comey, King Charles' address to Congress, and a Supreme Court case on temporary protected status.

The Justice Department has indicted former FBI Director James Comey for a second time, accusing him of threatening President Trump with an Instagram post of the numbers 86 47 spelled out in seashells on a beach. King Charles told a joint session of Congress today that the United States and Britain must strengthen their partnership even as President Trump clashes with European leaders over Iran and NATO. The Supreme Court hears arguments today in a case that could let the Trump administration move forward with mass deportations of people who have lived legally in the United States for years under temporary protected status. (NOTE: this story contains a bleeped clip of President Trump using vulgarity) Want more analysis of the most important news of the day, plus a little fun? Subscribe to the Up First newsletter.
