President Trump turned up the heat on the immigration debate to scalding this week. NPR's Ron Elving joins us. And, you know, Homeland Security officials had been denying this idea was really under consideration right up until the president said he was still thinking about it. ELVING: Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned under pressure. And that's a trade-off that the president apparently likes. SIMON: We didn't get the Mueller report this week, redacted or otherwise, but Attorney General Barr still managed to keep his name in the news. So it was amazing to hear him make such statements without having that information. President Trump was once a big fan of Julian Assange's, wasn't he? ELVING: Said he was. SIMON: NPR's Ron Elving, thanks so much.
