Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Courthouse in alexandrialexandr virginia, cnns jessica schneider. So what did we learn today at the trial . Anderson, we learned a lot. It was only the first day here, but this courtroom is definitely living up to its Rocket Docket reputation. They managed to whittle down this jury pool of 65 people down to 12 jurors plus four alternates, and then, of course, we heard the fiery Opening Statements here. In this, prosecutors shed some light on Paul Manaforts lavish lifestyle, and they did it by talking about his 30 hidden Foreign Bank Accounts they say existed in three different countries. And they say that funded that lavish lifestyle that included seven different homes, ranging from virginia to manhattan, all the way to the hamptons on long island. They also talked about his 500,000 luxury clothing. They mentioned a 21,000 watch, and they even, yes, mentioned a 15,000 jacket made of ostrich. T
Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. Gates is all to blame here. Theyre saying he is the one who stole and embezzled money. Theyre saying hes the one who lied. And now theyre trying flip this on the government. Rick gates will be the governments star witness, but the defense team is saying how can he be your star witness . Rick gates is an admitted liar and he is now cooperating with the government. Whats next for the trial . What happens tomorrow . Just day one, weve already seen a lot. But day two were expecting that the prosecution will be calling two more witnesses.

The prosecution here says that they have a witness list of 35 people that they plan to call, but this trial is really only expected to go three weeks. We saw just how fast this trial moved just in the first day here. So who knows. It could wrap up
Unborn, we have got to guard this moment. This is our watch. And again, i am so, so very proud of the judiciary committee. Im so very, very proud of the Intelligence Committee because they went in and tried to pull out the facts so that they could paint the picture so that america could see it. Hopefully they will not be ladies like the lady at amashs town hall meeting who says they didnt know that there was something wrong that trump did with regard in this Mueller Report. The speaker was absolutely right. She told us a little earlier that she wants to gather all the information and make sure that we have everything we need to paint that picture. Now, what the American People do with it, thats another thing. But we will not stand by and fail to give them let them
see the total picture. I, too, thank mr. Mueller for coming forward for this service to our country. Last but not least, it is so interesting that when mueller would make a decision that they liked, they said, oh, we love you
