Trump and the GOP take aim at Obama-era regulations

Season 2017

President Trump has spent his first two weeks rolling back many Obama-era regulations.

President Trump punctuated his first two weeks in office with a push to begin deregulating the financial industry. Meanwhile, Congress is using a seldom-used law to target recent rules set by the Obama administration, including environmental protections and gun control. William Brangham and Lisa Desjardins join Judy Woodruff for a closer look.
