Rep. Mike Lawler defends $10,000 campaign donation from colleague Max Miller's PAC, who's accused of abuse

Inside Politics

Dana Bash asks Republican Rep. Mike Lawler about campaign donations coming from his colleague Rep. Max Miller's political action committee. Miller has been accused of domestic abuse and denies the allegations. Lawler tells Bash, "It is tragic, and obviously I don't condone any level of abuse. But ultimately, there's been nothing that has been corroborated here."
