Episode: Can Congress Stop Trump's Takeover?
Description: Donald Trump has been working to expand his presidential influence into places that are supposed to operate independently, like the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Federal Reserve, and even into Congress’s constitutionally appointed “power of the purse.” As Congress returns to Washington, is this nominally co-equal branch of government willing to wrest its power back?
Guest: Luke Broadwater, reporter covering the White House for The New York Times.
