Sen. Mark Warner on Trump’s Role in the Government Shutdown

The Trump administration has now been temporarily blocked from laying off thousands of government employees by a judge who said the layoffs are politically motivated. Democratic Senator from Virginia Mark Warner discusses the impacts of the shutdown.
