On Wednesday's show: Local experts discuss the latest developments in politics in our weekly roundup.

Also this hour: A lot has been made of what President Donald Trump’s connections were to Jeffrey Epstein. But, whatever they were (and whatever we might yet learn about them), how much will it matter? University of Houston political science professor and Party Politics co-host Brandon Rottinghaus discusses the changing nature of political scandals, which is the subject of his latest book, Scandal: Why Politicians Survive Controversy in a Partisan Era.

And we visit the first-ever national showcase of Black female soccer players, held recently by the Black Women’s Player Collective at Prairie View A&M University.
