Why DOJ Is Reviewing the Watergate Investigation More Than 50 Years Later

P.M. Edition for Oct. 1. The Justice Department is reviewing whether prosecutors mishandled the Watergate case, decades after the scandal led to Richard Nixon’s resignation. WSJ White House reporter Philip Wegmann explains that the review comes as more conservatives, including President Trump, show renewed interest in Nixon’s legacy. Plus, mortgage rates had their biggest weekly increase in four years, tracking the sharp recent rise in U.S. bond yields. Markets reporter David Uberti discusses why more ships moving through the Strait of Hormuz haven’t done more to send gas prices and bond yields lower. And that global bound rout got messier today, as investors started picking winners and losers in different countries. Alex Ossola hosts.
