How is Congress reacting to President Trump's first month?

President Trump's first month in office has been tumultuous.

National security adviser Michael Flynn resigned. There have been reports that senior members of Trump's campaign were in regular contact with Russian intelligence officials prior to the election. The Office of Government Ethics called on the White House to discipline top aide Kellyanne Conway over her comments regarding Ivanka Trump's clothing line.

Congressional Republicans are mixed in their reactions to all of the chaotic news, which comes amid their own work to repeal and replace Obamacare. That effort seems to be stalled.

MPR News host Kerri Miller spoke with Linda Chavez, chair of the Center for Equal Opportunity, and J. Tobin Grant, professor at Southern Illinois University Department of Political Science, about the congressional response to Trump's first month in office.
