On the next Your Call’s media roundtable, we’ll discuss coverage of Jeff Sessions’ tenure as Attorney General of the United States, and the future of Robert Mueller’s investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election. How did Sessions reshape the Justice Department?

This week, Propublica reported that just before he left, Sessions adopted a policy to limit the Justice Department’s ability to oversee abusive police departments. That same policy could also hamper the department’s role in environmental, voting-rights, and other cases. We’ll also discuss the impacts of economic sanctions on the lives of Iranians. Join the next Your Call, with Renee Kemp, and you.
