Friday News Roundup - Domestic

After the officer who shot Philando Castile was acquitted, dashboard camera footage of the incident was released. It shows tensions escalating quickly after Castile informs the officer he's carrying a gun, which he had a license for.

For all the talk this week, one group has been unusually quiet: the National Rifle Association. We’ll discuss why gun owners in particular have concerns surrounding the death of Philando Castile and why some want the NRA to speak out. Plus, back room dealing on healthcare, and is the President’s front man moving on?
