Summary

New reporting from the New York Times shows that the Trump administration might be seriously overstating how much damage they've done to Iran's missile program – new data shows inflation accelerating, but Trump says he’s not thinking about American’s finances “not even a little bit” – & the Secretary of Defense and the FBI Director clash with lawmakers over the cost of the war and their conduct in office. Carol Leonnig, Scott MacFarlane, Lt. Gen. Mark Hertling, Brendan Greeley, Dan Nathan, Dave Weigel, and Josh Tyrangiel join The 11th Hour this Tuesday night.
