Trump's Hush Money Indictment & Fed Inflation Gauge Cools 3/31/23

Former President Donald Trump has been indicted by a grand jury for hush money payments to porn star Stormy Daniels just before the 2016 election. It marks the first time a former U.S. president has been charged with a crime. CNBC’s Eamon Javers reports on Trump’s indictment and what it means for the future of the Republican party. The Fed’s key inflation gauge rose slightly less than anticipated in February, providing some hope that interest rate hikes are helping ease price increases. Jason Furman, former chair of the Council of Economic Advisers and Harvard economics professor, discusses his current thoughts on the Federal Reserve. Plus, Atlantic Council CEO Fred Kempe discusses the United States’ relationship with China and what it means for big tech companies like TikTok, Apple and Tesla.
