News Wrap: Supreme Court hears McDonnell corruption appeal

Clip: 4/27/2016 | 4m 18s

Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell’s corruption appeal.

In our news wrap Wednesday, the Supreme Court heard former Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell’s corruption appeal with seeming sympathy, as both liberal and conservative justices suggested the federal bribery law is too broad. Also, House Speaker Paul Ryan suggested the White House asked for too much money to combat Zika virus, likely delaying a decision on the matter until after the upcoming recess.
