Coming up on today's show:

Eugene Scott, Washington Post reporter covering identity politics, and Rosalind Helderman, Washington Post political enterprise and investigations reporter, talk all about what we know, what we don't and what it means for Congressional Democrats.
  • Daniel Strauss, Politico politics reporter covering the 2020 campaign, talks about how the news of the Mueller report will affect the Democrats campaigning for the 2020 presidential nomination.
  • U.S. Representative Adriano Espaillat (D, NY 13) talks about what comes next in the House now that the Mueller Report summary has been released.
  • WNYC’s Andrea Bernstein, senior editor for politics and policy, and reporter Ilya Marritz, co-hosts of the Trump, Inc. podcast, talk about what the Mueller report means for the multiple investigations the president, his associates and his business still face in New York and elsewhere.
  • Maya Wiley, NBC News and MSNBC legal analyst, professor of Urban Policy and Management at The New School; former counsel to Mayor de Blasio, provides legal analysis of the Mueller report.
  • Former Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano discusses her new book, and the sweeping role of the department she inherited, which was created in the wake of 9/11, and deals with everything from terrorism, to natural disasters to immigration.
