About this episode
Matt Larson, Bloomberg Intelligence litigation analyst, discusses why President Trump blocked Broadcom’s hostile takeover bid for Qualcomm, citing national security concerns. Plus, Richard Briffault, a professor at Columbia Law School, discusses the special election in Pennsylvania’s 18th Congressional district, which pits Republican Rick Saccone against up-and-coming Democrat Conor Lamb, who has the chance to retake what was once a solidly republican district. The election is further complicated by Pennsylvania’s congressional voting map, which is due to be redrawn before the end of the year. They speak with Bloomberg’s June Grasso.
