Description

Epoch Times Washington, D.C.-based reporter Stacy Robinson joins the Constitution Avenue crew to share how locals feel about President Donald Trump’s recent takeover of the city’s police force.

The hosts also share their own encounters with altercations on the streets while living in D.C.

And while the Hill is in recess, Nathan Worcester has the latest on a key MAGA agenda item: curbing foreign influence, including from the Chinese Communist Party. 

Sen. Tom Cotton, who chairs the powerful U.S. Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, has introduced an amendment to the upcoming big defense bill. It would address what he says is a loophole that lets foreign nationals access Department of Defense computer systems.
