Guest: US political commentator, Brooks Spector

US President Donald Trump, who is yet to acknowledge his resounding loss to Joe Biden, has announced a slew of presidential pardons, and issued a sudden demand for changes to a desperately needed $900 billion pandemic relief bill. Notably, he is asking for a big increase in the proposed $600  in direct payments to less well-off Americans, saying this should be increased to $2,000, which is the amount the Democrats requested in the first place.  We speak to US political commentator, Brooks Spector.
