Weekly Roundup: Trump's Televised Trial, Ramaswamy's Rap Riposte

Donald Trump has pled not guilty to state charges in Georgia, as have many of his alleged co-conspirators.

And, on the campaign trail, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis was forced to return home to deal with a storm. Vivek Ramaswamy agreed to stop performing an Eminem song, but said that he hopes the rapper will "rediscover the renegade that made him great."

Also, the 2008 campaign celebrity "Joe the Plumber" died this week.

This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, national political correspondent Sarah McCammon, WABE reporter Sam Gringlas, and national political correspondent Don Gonyea.
