Less than 1: PM Edition, June 2



This evening on Less than 1: Irico Group seeks to escape a potential $7 billion default judgment in decades-old cathode ray tube price-fixing litigation -- plus a California appeals court reverses a $43 million judgment in a 19-year wage-and-hour class action, and Monday's landmark RJA rulings set off a turf war between the courts and the Legislature. Also: the Trump administration abandons its $1.8 billion "weaponization" fund after a rare Republican revolt.
