Did Iran Pose an ‘Imminent Threat’? And Why the Fed is Holding Rates Steady

from Here's the Scoop · host yasmin vossoughian, dan deluce, brian cheung

Top national security officials were on Capitol Hill today for a grilling from the Senate Intelligence Committee. The testimony from Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, CIA Director John Ratcliffe, and FBI Director Kash Patel came a day after one of Gabbard’s top deputies resigned in protest over the war in Iran, saying the country posed “no imminent threat to our nation”. NBC News Reporter Dan De Luce breaks down the biggest moments. Then, NBC News Business and Data Correspondent Brian Cheung explains the Federal Reserve’s decision to keep interest rates steady amid oil price shocks and stuttering economic indicators.
