This week, Maine’s governor vetoed a bill partially decriminalizing
prostitution in the state. Advocates said it would have been a big win
in the fight against sex trafficking, but critics said it could entice
more people into the underground trade. POLITICO’s Liz Crampton reports.
Plus, the CBO says the federal budget gap will widen to $3 trillion this
year. And D.C. Attorney General Karl Racine has subpoenaed Facebook for
records related to the platform’s handling of coronavirus
misinformation.
