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. We expect another democratic consultant who worked with Paul Manafort. Were also expecting to hear from an fbi agent. 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

reported that are inconvenient to him, he can dismiss them as political in nature. and that to me is a very insidious thing. that s really, you know that is the stuff of autocratic states. and so while i agree with carl that the reporting has been aggressive, it s been thorough, it s been critical, there is still concern about a president who doesn t really believe in a free press. and carl, it is not just the lack of press briefings. you know, the president himself still hasn t directly answered questions about why his campaign lied about their involvement in trying to buy karen mcdougal s rights the rights to her story from ami, which the campaign claim they d had no knowledge of, they knew nothing about the ami deal, nor has he answered any questions about your reporting that he allegedly knew about the trump tower meeting in advance. this president and this
