P.M. Edition for Aug. 28. The Treasury Department has put out a report about a Chinese money laundering network that has moved billions of dollars through U.S. banks, and how that money is being used to support criminals like Mexican drug cartels. WSJ reporter Dylan Tokar joins to discuss how the network functions, and what the Trump administration is planning to do about it. Plus, Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook files a lawsuit over President Trump’s attempt to fire her. And starting at midnight tonight, shipments of goods to the U.S. worth $800 or less will be subject to tariffs. We hear from Journal reporter Esther Fung about who will be footing the bill.
