Socalled magnisky sanctions. What are those and why does putin care about them . Bill broader lawn unched a Worldwide Campaign to slap those sanctions on russia. He will make sense of it all.

that s a 2012 american law that punishes russians who are seen to be human rights abusers. i freezes their assets and bans them from entering the united states. astonia and the uk have made their own law and other countries are considering similar ones. the laws are named after a russian tax lawyer who uncovered the biggest tax fraud in russian history, $230 million worth. he was arrested and later died in prison after being tortured according to russia s own presidential human rights commission. the russian government said heart failure killed him and there was no violence. he found the fraud while working for my next guest william browder. he was once the biggest foreign investor in russia but he was expelled from russia. he has much light to shed on trump junior s meeting and the players in on it. thank you for being here. thank you. it seems as though this
