The Drama in Congress

Duration: 18 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC World Service OnlineLatest broadcast: on BBC World Service

This week in Trumped, the drama in Congress for President Trump, starting with the FBI director’s announcement of an investigation into Russia and the election, and continuing with the efforts to pass new healthcare legislation. Anthony Zurcher, the BBC's North America reporter, is joined by Susan Glasser, chief international affairs columnist at Politico and guests to explore the longer term significance of the FBI investigation and what the healthcare struggle says about the President’s ability to deliver on his campaign promises. And we’ll have some top Trump tweets on the way.

At the end of each week Trumped explores the bigger take on what the Trump Presidency means for America and the world. With the help of Washington DC insiders, we will be deciphering the new White House, using the President’s own tweets as a starting point for a weekly conversation at a time when we are all experiencing a new way of realising the power of the Presidency.
