Interview with Senator Elizabeth Warren on Trump's Policies and Administration Challenges

Published | Video Starts at 22:59

And right now, that's being tested in court. But this is a real threat to all of us. Whether you're Democrat or Republican, an independent libertarian, you pay no attention to politics. We have a constitution that says Congress writes the laws and enacts them.

Donald Trump is basically saying to Congress, I'm not going to follow the laws. (22:59–23:06)
