SUMMARY: President Trump's expansive and divisive campaign-style speech in Phoenix drew cheers from his supporters but did nothing to reach more skeptical Americans. Judy Woodruff sits down with Matt Schlapp of the American Conservative Union and Karine Jean-Pierre of MoveOn.org, to discuss how his remarks on Charlottesville, the news media and fellow Republicans affect his own agenda.
GWEN IFILL (NewsHour): Two Supreme Court decisions today, one on purchasing firearms and the other involving political speech.
Jeffrey Brown has that.
JEFFREY BROWN (NewsHour): As it happens, both cases involve when the truth must be told.
In a 5-4 decision, the court ruled that the federal government can enforce its ban on so-called straw gun purchases. Under that law, buyers must tell the truth when they are buying guns for someone else. In a separate ruling, the court looked at an Ohio law that bars the making of false statements about candidates in a political campaign. The court unanimously ruled that a legal challenge to the law can go forward.
Here to tell us more, as always, is Marcia Coyle of “The National Law Journal.”
