Anderson Cooper takes viewers beyond the headlines with indepth reporting and investigations. The cleanup was after the Helsinki Summit saying he meant to say wouldnt instead of would although in that cleanup the president said it could be others meddling and since then calling the russia story a hoax and investigation rigged.
