MSNBC political analyst and chief White House correspondent of The New York Times, Peter Baker and Wall Street Journal Justice Department reporter Sadie Gurman spoke with Alex Witt about why the White House has not been able to control the narrative over the files, plus how the president and the attorney general are personally handling the backlash.
