The latest news from around the world with host Brooke Baldwin. Arguments. This afternoon. This means this trial is on its way. Its a very important trial, as you know, brooke, this is the Special Counsel investigating russian interference in the 2016 election facing off against Donald Trumps campaign manager. Of course, he was only there briefly, but for a very critical period. And as you know also, this means a lot of things for the state of play, at least in politics during a Midterm Election here in the United States, especially because the president has said so many times that in his view the Russian Investigation is a witch hunt, if Paul Manafort ends up being convicted, it will be a lot harder for the president To Throw Shay on the investigation. If Paul Manafort is found not guilty, that gives a lot of support for the trump side in this National Conversation over Russia Meddling in the 2016

When Richard Nixon was being investigated by a Special Prosecutor and by congress, it was a special investigation in congress. While most republicans tried to look at the mounting evidence against president nixon as favorably as possible, none of them ever tried to say anything like this. Just remember what youre seeing and what youre reading is not whats happening. Republicans did not try to deny reality during the investigation of Richard Nixon and eventually it was a group of republican senators who went to the white house to tell president nixon to his face that he should resign immediately because the House Of Representatives would definitely vote to impeach him based on the latest evidence and the United States senate would easily reach a twothirds Majority Vote to convict and remove president nixon from office in an impeachment trial.
