Russia. The white house emphatically maintains that the president has no connection to these charges. We have been saying from day one that theres been no connection between the president and russian collusion, and these charges just prove that. Reporter the president asked why not crooked hillary and the democrats the focus . Indictments against both manafort and gates contains 12 counts including conspiracy against the United States and conspiracy to launder money.

Reporter manaforts bond is set at 10 million in case bond is set at 5 million. East bay congressman eric farwell said the plea deal by George Papadopoulos is the clearest effort yet that members of trumps team were working with russia. I think we have established a working relationship. You have a senior Foreign Policy advisor, someone the president said was an excellent guy, traveling multiple times over to europe at neutral locations to meet with russians to receive dirt on their opponent hillary clinton. I expect there will be more to come. Farwell said he hopes the indictments will be a wakeup call to republicans in congress to get serious about their investigation into russian interference in the 2016 election. And joining us now is our political analysis. Is is bad for President Donald Trump and if so, how bad you think it is . It is bad in that it shows that there was people in and around the administration that knew about the russians and what we are learning today frank is that the russian influence may have been much greater than we thought. It extended to all kinds of democrats and republicans. We may be learning here that behind all of this is the russian attempt to bring down the american democracy as a whole. Not to pick winners and losers in the election. But the reaction today from the Trump Administration and the immigrants is very different. You heard from our congressmen that this is clear evidence that there is a link. You hear from Sarah Huckabee sanders there is no evidence. Whos right . I do not know if we know who is right yet. If you look at the case of the 30yearold senior policy advisor to trump, one wonders how senior he really was. That is not to say that he was not involved in a meeting with the russians and that sort of thing, but there is a certain narrative on both sides, and i am not sure that either side has the correct narrative yet. This is not a good day for President Donald Trump and the white house because of the implications here. When you look at the indictments, which one is worse to you . Which one has the most potential to damage the Trump Administration . I think it is papadopoulos is. Manaforts is really unrelated to the campaign and really speaks with his involvement with the ukraine and Money Laundering that is been going on for a lot of years. But they could get him to flip is a key member of the Trump Campaign, that he could potentially have information that could become very valuable. There is no question about that. I think if you line up what happened today, i think the guilty plea about lying to federal investigators and that this person may have met with russians, is a little bit worse than the manafort thing except that manafort was very high up on the food chain. The fact that papadopoulos has flipped is important. Do you think that he will be providing information on others . There is a dispute to how much he was involved. You have to believe that he has been cooperating with the prosecution and maybe wearing a wire or all of that. Maybe he could get other people to say things. This could be a real problem. The New York Times reports that Russian Election meddling in last years president ial election was much more widespread than initially thought and reach hundred 26 million facebook users.
