After the ICC issued an arrest warrant for Benjamin Netanyahu back in November, the Trump administration announced sanctions against the court's chief prosecutor, Karim Khan, and its officials, employees, agents, and their family members. Now, the effects of the executive order are becoming clearer. The chief has had his bank accounts frozen, and casework is under ramped-up pressure.

He speaks with host Marco Werman about what's happening and what it means for the long-term survival of the ICC.
