Now under house arrest after pleading not guilty another suspect is helping the f. B. I. With his investigation. Also on the show the dramatic flight of catalonia ousted leader madrid has accused him of rebellion and sedition so what kind of help is carlos proved among hoping to get and brussels. Hello im brian thomas a very warm welcome to the show Donald Trumps a former campaign chief paul man of ford and his associate brigades are now under house arrest following their indictment in the special counsels russia investigation now both men pled not guilty to charges including conspiracy and Money Laundering another former trump advisor George Papadopoulos has pled guilty to lying to f. B. I. Agents trumpets denying any collusion between his Campaign Team and moscow during the election campaign. A Trump Campaign chief turns himself then to the f. B. I. A key advisor makes a guilty plea as the russia investigation closing in on Donald Trumps white house. Pomona for it was a trump site when the billionaire outsider accepted the republican nomination someone for and show he is said to have one pick trumps Vice President mike pence the man just behind him has also been charged flanked by his lawyer he surrendered himself to the f. B. I. On monday the reaction was accused of acting for years as an authorized agent of the pro russian ukrainian government. For there is no evidence that mr mann of fort of the tribe campaign colluded with the russian government even so the judge placed metaphor under house arrest. The white house insists the charges are not definitive evidence of links to russia. Weve been saying from day one theres been no evidence of trumped russia collusion and nothing in the indictment today changes that at all but washington was in for more surprises a special prosecutor Robert Millers investigation into russian meddling in last years election gathers pace millers team had secured a guilty plea from former Foreign Policy advisor George Papadopoulos seen here in a meeting with trump. And a signed indictment he admitted lying about meetings with russian government connections offering darts on Hillary Clinton the white house played down his guilty plea. Is nothing to do with the activities of the campaign it has to do with his failure to tell the truth it doesnt have anything to do with the campaign or the campaigns activities box with papadopoulos no cooperating with f. B. I. Investigators these three charges may be just the start of a new phase in the investigation. For the very lowest lets go to our correspondent carson phenomena in washington carson two former trump aides are charged thirds cooperate ing with the f. B. I. But the bottom line is is there any new evidence right now that russia tried to sway the u. S. Election campaign and that the trump side knew about it. Well yes and no i mean if you look at the indictment self poem manifold and richard gates these charges clearly predate the trunk im painting as trump himself as also pointed out this is also not about russia this is about ukraine and the pro russian regime in ukraine at the time about Money Laundering and text evasion that does not directly affect trump and the allegations of collusion of the trump complain with russia the other story the. Case of george puppet though pulis the Foreign Policy or former policy advisor of donald trump thats a different story because this is now the second confirmed attempt that we know of members of the complain to trying to get compromising information about Hillary Clinton from russian sources the other case of course the infamous meeting organized by Donald Trump Jr the president s son and other. Trump allies with a russian law also an attempt to get some compromising information on Hillary Clinton so this does not look good for donald trump but there is no clear connection to donald trump yet again while that line what do these indictments then mean for the president. Well first of all the optics bad as i just mentioned and then of course poll man afford his former Campaign Manager and a close ally. Could go to jail if Proven Guilty of course then you have the case of general Michael Flynn the former National Security adviser who also had to resign because he lied about his contacts to russia and other foreign governments and many other members of trumps inner circle in the first ten months of his presidency had to resign over fired for a number of scandals so this all doesnt look good the indictments maybe dont really change that but they put some pressure on donald trump for now the base his base and the republicans in Congress Stand by him they try to muddy the water by saying well the democrats and Hillary Clinton they were also dirty they also had foreign connections also to russia but in the long run of course this could this mood could change if Robert Miller the special investigator has more people he could in diets and could bring into the public focus ok thanks so much for that this morning from carson phenomena in Washington Police here in germany have arrested a nineteen year old syrian man on suspicion of plotting and is in this terrorist attack he was arrested in the town of schrag mean thats north of the capital berlin federal prosecutors say the suspect was planning a bomb attack with high explosives in order to kill a large number of people.
