The Trump administration has launched its first major H-1B visa fraud investigation, with the Department of Labor Inspector General issuing dozens of subpoenas to investigate corporations that are undercutting American wages and funneling money to criminal enterprises.
Inspector General Anthony Diaz Posito emphasizes that the investigation is part of a whole-government approach, with collaboration from the White House fraud task force and the Department of Justice, to prosecute fraudsters and reclaim stolen taxpayer money.
The episode also highlights the ongoing controversy around Senator Mitch McConnell's health, with multiple Republicans claiming to have had lengthy phone conversations with him, but no public sighting or photo has been provided, fueling skepticism.
Texas Democrat candidate James Talarico is criticized for hiring an activist who orchestrated a 'Cocks Not Glocks' protest involving handing out 4,500 dildos on a college campus, and the host mocks Talarico's masculine presentation.
