On this edition of Your Call’s media roundtable, we’ll discuss the violent crack-down on the anti-government protests in Sudan. Sudan’s President Omar al-Bashir declared a year-long state of emergency, banned protests, and gave sweeping power to security forces.
We’ll also talk about Michael Cohen’s testimony before Congress. Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer accused him of being a racist, a conman, and a cheat with a long history of tax and insurance fraud. What's next?
