Congress to address ‘flash crash,’ financial reform

Congress will face public pressure this week as it tackles a series of hot-button issues. In the House, the Financial Services Committee has called for a hearing on the “flash crash” that took place last Thursday when the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell nearly 1,000 points in just 30 minutes. And Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid is hoping to get the financial reform bill complete by the end of the week.

We talk with Takeaway Washington correspondent Todd Zwillich for more on Congress’ agenda this week.
