Tonight on America At Night with McGraw Milhaven, Dr. Bruce Bechtol, Professor of Political Science at Angelo State University and former Senior North Korea Intelligence Analyst for the Defense Intelligence Agency, examines President Trump's renewed focus on North Korea, the strategic relationship between North Korea and other U.S. adversaries, and what a shift in policy could mean for the region. Retired NYPD Detective David Sarni, who spent more than 27 years in law enforcement, discusses the case involving 14 people facing charges connected to an alleged cocaine operation at Penn State fraternities, offering insight into the investigation, the challenges of drug enforcement on college campuses and what happens next in the legal process. Plus, author Matthew Campbell joins McGraw to discuss The Man Who Stole The Gods: A True Story of War, Obsession, and a Global Art Conspiracy, an extraordinary story involving stolen art, international intrigue and the obsession that drove one of the most fascinating art mysteries of recent history.
