On Wednesday, September 16th, Paul Gigot, the renowned editorial page editor for the Wall Street Journal, a noted political analyst known, in part, for his hosting of Fox News’ Journal Editorial Report, joined Hudson Senior Vice President Lewis Libby for a conversation on the presidential election and the prospects for U.S. national security in a post-Obama era.
