Public Affairs Programs
Saturday, April 1, 2017
Coverage of the demise of the continuing, multiple investigations of potential ties between the Trump 2016 campaign and Russian intelligence operatives who were seeking to impact the U.S. presidential election will dominate this week's Sunday morning public affairs programs, leaving little room for discussions about other subjects, including immigration and refugees.
The headliner guests on the programs this weekend will include Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), who is appearing on two programs; Assistant Majority Leader John Cornyn (R-TX); and Senate Minority Leader Charles Schumer (D-NY).
Also appearing on the programs will be the usual assortment of political journalists and political operatives. But the list of those appearing on the venerable programs who make immigration or refugees a key part of their agenda is particularly sparse this week.
A sneak peek at the guest lists for the upcoming April 2, 2017, editions of each of the five major broadcast and cable Sunday public affairs programs appears after the jump, along with previews of the likely or possible discussions on those programs about immigration and, refugees.
