## Resource

On today’s episode of Politics Nation, Rev. Al Sharpton discusses President Trump’s conflicting statements on the war with Iran. While he claimed the U.S. was winding down, reports suggest Trump is considering sending troops, and the Pentagon is asking Congress for $200 billion for military preparations. Rev. Sharpton also remembers former FBI Director Robert Mueller, who passed away at 81 and was known for investigating Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
