Face the Nation: Omar, Vinograd, Krebs

Ilhan Omar says that as the Trump administration has steamrolled forward with executive orders to dismantle USAID and the Department of Education as well accessing the Treasury Department records because the president doesn't "have the support" among Republicans in Congress, amid the Trump administration's bureaucratic overhaul, CBS News Justice Department correspondent Scott MacFarlane, chief legal correspondent Jan Crawford, CBS News homeland security contributor Sam Vinograd and CBS News cybersecurity expert and analyst Chris Krebs join to discuss the impact, and USAID had only accounted for less than 1% of the federal budget before the Trump administration began its campaign to dismantle it. It isn't clear why this sliver of spending is the first focus of the so-called efficiency project, but it feels like a demolition — and perhaps a preview of the future for other public servants.

A spokesperson for the group, known as M23, says the rebels backed out of the ceasefire because the Congolese army and allied militias did not remove their attack drones from the town. Mvemba Phezo Dizolele, senior fellow at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, joins CBS News to assess the state of the conflict.
