After stressing last year that hydraulic fracturing had no “widespread, systematic impact” on water, the EPA now is emphasizing that fracking can affect drinking water under some circumstances. More of our investigation with APM Reports on the show today. But first, Trump’s conflict of interest tweet raises more questions than it answers — what does “no new deals” mean? Plus, an interview with Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Mathews Burwell and holiday shopping at the airport.

U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services Sylvia Burwell testifies during a hearing before the House Ways and Means Committee June 10, 2015 on Capitol Hill in Washington, DC. The committee held a hearing on 'Obamacare Implementation and the Department of Health and Human Services FY2016 Budget Request.'
