This week on “The Tent,” California Rep. Ted Lieu (D) joins the show to discuss the House’s ongoing impeachment inquiry, as well as the latest crisis in Syria, where Donald Trump’s catastrophic decision to withdraw troops was roundly condemned by lawmakers in both parties in Congress and celebrated by Turkey, Russia, and the Islamic State group (ISIS).
