SOTU Scoop
By CNN's Tracey Webb
Your daily scoop of what State of the Union is watching today, June 5, 2014.
1. Obama: "No apologies." President Obama forcefully defended the deal that freed U.S. Army Sgt. Bowe Bergdahl from nearly five years in captivity. The agreement to give up five Taliban prisoners at Guantanamo Bay in exchange for Bergdahl has ignited a political backlash from many Republicans and a few Democrats in Congress. At a news conference in Brussels, where he attended the G-7 summit, the President offered no regrets. "We had a prisoner of war whose health had deteriorated, and we were deeply concerned about, and we saw an opportunity, and we seized it. And I make no apologies for that," Obama said.
