Parker's Transition Team, Johnny Doc Trial & New Police Union President

It’s the Friday News Roundup! Host Trenae Nuri is joined by Chris Brennan, political reporter and writer of the Philadelphia Inquirer's Clout column, Marco Cerino, reporter at the Philadelphia Tribune, and Meir Rinde, investigative reporter at Billy Penn. They react to the news that the city is once again moving the bus drop-off/pick-up location for several major carriers. Then, they discuss what’s next for Mayor-elect Cherelle Parker. Plus, the police union is getting a new president and what we know about the embezzlement trial of former union leader John Dougherty, aka "Johnny Doc."
