Fitch Ratings has downgraded the United States’ long-term credit rating from AAA to AA+. CNBC DC correspondent Emily Wilkins explains the downgrade and what it means for America’s standing in the global markets.

CNBC Eamon Javers explains the criminal charges, the historical significance and the next steps for American democracy. Chair of the CFTC Rostin Behnam discusses his effort to find clarity for crypto regulation and ultimately crack down on fraud while allowing legitimate enterprises to continue to innovate.
