Ex-DOJ Official: Whitaker Testimony ‘An Embarrassment To The DOJ’ | The Last Word | MSNBC
"Senator Chris Murphy On Donald Trump's ‘Foreign Policy Garbage Fire’"

Former Justice Department official Lisa Graves says that Matthew Whitaker's "contemptuous" testimony before the Judiciary Committee was a disgrace to his office. Ari Melber also discusses the controversial hearing with Matt Miller.
After watching the hearing i'd guess it's more likely than not Whitaker is subpoenaed back to enable the committee to gain answers to a number of questions they were unable to gain from him today.
