House Majority Whip On Brown University Shooting, Health Care Debate, and Minnesota Fraud Scandal

Two students are dead and nine others wounded after a shooting at Brown University, as investigators work to piece together what happened just as families were preparing for finals week. At the same time, federal officials continue to investigate the Minnesota fraud scandal involving up to one billion dollars in taxpayer money that has drawn national attention and sparked political backlash.
