I have read the charging document alleging a series of criminal acts by a member of the Virginia Senate.

NOW: "You're a stupid person. And by the way, your network is the worst of all."
President Trump goes after an ABC News reporter questioning whether easing sanctions on Russia to secure an American prisoner's release amounts to giving Moscow something in return.
The tense back-and-forth comes after Trump insisted the U.S. "gave nothing" for Hubbard's release.

Jess Miers, who previously worked in trust and safety at Google, joins me to explore how Al keeps people engaged and the legal fight over who should be held responsible when things go wrong.
