Trump's Controversial Attorney General Pick Withdraws

Both the House ethics committee and the FBI investigated the allegations; the federal investigation closed without charges, and the House investigation was not made public.

This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, political correspondent Susan Davis, and senior national political correspondent Mara Liasson.
