The U.S., Downgraded, the CFTC Mining for Crypto Clarity, & All-You-Can-Fly at Frontier 8/02/23

Fitch Ratings has downgraded the United States’ long-term credit rating from AAA to AA+. CNBC DC correspondent Emily Wilkins explains the downgrade and what it means for America’s standing in the global markets. Former President Donald Trump has been indicted on four federal felony charges centering around his alleged efforts to discount legitimate votes and discredit the 2020 election. CNBC Eamon Javers explains the criminal charges, the historical significance and the next steps for American democracy. Chair of the CFTC Rostin Behnam discusses his effort to find clarity for crypto regulation and ultimately crack down on fraud while allowing legitimate enterprises to continue to innovate. Plus, Frontier Airlines CEO Barry Biffle joins CNBC’s Phil LeBeau to discuss his company’s economics and Frontier’s all-you-can-fly passes available on a monthly, seasonal, and annual basis for a flat fee.
