Robert Draper: During Watergate hearings, unlike now, 'facts mattered back then'
American journalist and author of “Do Not Ask What Good We Do: Inside the U.S. House of Representatives,” Robert Draper joins Andrea Mitchell to discuss his article comparing the Republican reaction to Trump’s attempts to overthrow the 2020 election to Nixon’s Watergate.
