From the war in Iran to his plan to use taxpayer money to pay his allies, the Republican-controlled Congress has begun rebelling against President Trump.

Guest: Julie Hirschfield Davis, congressional editor at The New York Times. Background reading: Mr. Trump says he never promised no new wars and defends the compensation fund.
