US Public Divided on Bergdahl, Taliban Prisoner Swap

A Fox News poll shows, in the first few days, 45 percent approved of the swap while 47 percent disapproved. VOA’s Michael Bowman reports Saturday's exchange, and the administration's failure to notify lawmakers beforehand, have sparked intense debate on Capitol Hill.
