We have a lot to talk about on the Weekly Wrap this week: We'll cover the economic impacts of Comey's firing, the interview President Trump gave about his own economic policies and that letter about Trump's Russian business interests or lack thereof. Then: State governments submitted more than 500 infrastructure projects to the White House for consideration as Trump puts together his spending plan. We're tracking what's on each state's wishlist along with APM Reports. Plus: What the Justice Department's new action on drug offenses means for the private prison business.
