Should Trump Make It Official? Depends If He's More Worried About The FEC Or DOJ

Trump has gobs of money is his political action committees and as long as he's not officially running for office he can basically spend it however he wants.

This episode: political correspondent Danielle Kurtzleben, political reporter Deepa Shivaram, and justice correspondent Ryan Lucas.
