Trump and the GOP take aim at Obama-era regulations

Clip: 2/3/2017 | 5m 56s

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.

William Brangham and Lisa Desjardins join Judy Woodruff for a closer look.
