Episode Details

A former Cornell University student is suing the university and others alleging that she was drugged and sexually assaulted by members of the Chi Phi fraternity. The Tompkins County District Attorney has now reopened the criminal investigation. We break down what the lawsuit actually alleges, why criminal charges weren’t filed originally, what changed, Cornell’s response, and the legal questions surrounding the university’s potential liability.

Then, we explain the Supreme Court’s latest ruling involving the federal SAVE voter-verification database, the State Department wanting to expand the use of passport data for voter-eligibility checks, the U.S. military planning for potential action involving Cuba, and President Trump's pocket rescission of $810 million.
