Mr navalny s widow, yulia, was amongst those who queued for several hours outside the Russian Embassy in berlin to vote. She was greeted by supporters with flowers and applause. After voting she told reporters that she had written the name of her late husband on her ballot paper. She also thanked her fellow russians for queuing so long.

In 2004, the democratic governor of new jersey, Jim Mcgreevey, stepped into a press room just like this and became an Overnight Sensation when he admitted to a gay affair and resigned in the same speech.

Behavior and the stakes. It was a bracing message. He will be treated like any other defendant. Trump did not attend the hearing in washington today, and thats fine. You can have these kind of hearings among lawyers. His defense team entered this morning. We saw that, tracked that. Hearing about what, in other cases, might be a more routine matter.
