## Resource

Iran attacks a U.S. base in Jordan, killing two U.S. service members. A third soldier was killed during a separate incident in Iraq. CENTCOM announces another round of strikes in Iran as retaliation. Charlie D’Agata joins from Jordan to detail the latest. Aaron MacLean is with Major at the desk for additional analysis. Jonah Kaplan is on Capitol Hill, speaking with the families of victims of state-sponsored terrorism who urge President Trump to demand Iran pay restitution as part of a peace deal. He joins Major to discuss their plea. Plus, New York Times Justice Department reporter Devlin Barrett has a new book called, “The Department of Revenge,” which explains how President Trump has turned the Department of Justice into an agency where he’s weaponized the law against his enemies. All that and more, right here on “The Takeout!”
