Savory reputations. Then a highprofile return to american politics, running Donald Trumps campaign. Paul had Great Success with reagan and with bush and with ford, and, you know, Great Success. Ive known trump three years, and we talked about the need to bring in additional people. He listened. He reached out. He couldnt escape the past. He was wanted for committing bank fraud. Or his ties to russia. He was indebted to a Russian Oligarch who is close to president putin. After convictions on bank and tax fraud and time in jail, a stunning reversal for the former trump insider. Paul manafort agreed to cooperate fully with Robert Muellers russian probe. Huge, capitalized, huge. What does manafort know and whats it mean for President Trump . Hes not making a deal where manaford pleads guilty to two charges unless theres something significant to offer. Again, the rise and spe spectacular fall of Paul Manafort. He may be the biggest threat to Donald Trumps presidency. Paul manafort was proba
Beyond a reasonable doubt and le jury sent a note to judge t. S. Ellis acting in asking him to redefine reasonable doubt. The judge brought them into the courtroom and told them that the government is not required to prove the defendant guilty beyond all possible doubt but beyond all reasonable doubt. A few minutes after that, the metaphor defense team came out here and said they think its a favorable sign for their side. We just got some good news. The jury has been deliberating. They had some questions which the judge addressed and they have have asked to come back tomorrow to continue. Do you think its a good sign that they are asking about reasonable doubt .

The jury deliberated for more than seven hours today and at the end, they asked some questions about keywords the mueller team used over and over again concerning Shelf Companies and Foreign Bank Account reports. The judge didnt really answer and told them to rely on their memory of that testimony
Too. This was a real triple whammy. This is worth watching. I think it would be funny if i got a private a block of the rachel show. If you hide under my desk for any 15 Second Period of time, i mumble enough to get most of it out. Thank you, my friend. Thank you at home for joining us. This is one of those fridays. Theres a triple whammy going on. Theres a lot of different types of news that were watching tonight. For example, we are still getting in new reporting tonight about the mass shooting that took place today in aurora, illinois. What we know now is at least five people dead, multiple others injured from this mass shooting that took place at a manufacturing plant in aurora, illinois. Keeping in mind that initial reports from major Mass Shootings are often later revised in terms of our factual understanding of what happened. With that caveat, i should tell you that preliminarily reports make it seem what happened here is a single shooter, a 45yearold man. He was ultimately kill
Understanding of what happened. With that caveat, i should tell you that preliminarily reports make it seem what happened here is a single shooter, a 45yearold man. He was ultimately killed by police. Authorities tell us that of the people who were shot and injured in this mass shooting, at least five were Police Officers themselves. So, again, that means we think were talking about five injured Police Officers, five nonPolice Officers, five civilians killed and the shooter himself killed on top of that. So we arch wassie watching thats it continues to develop. Well let you know more as we know more. Today started, of course, with the president declaring a National Emergency to try to give himself a sort of legal way to take money, mostly from the military, to build a wall between u. S.

Daughter and mr. Kushners very famous lawyer appear to have made direct detailed and very false public statements about this matter before now. Were seeing tonight some sort of confused and to my eyes, slightly desperate efforts tonight to clean up some of those false statements. But this story is still developing tonight. Well have more on that ahead. Were going to start tonight, though, with a little bit of breaking news.

Paul manafort, as you know, is due to be sentenced next week, thursday next week but a federal judge in virginia. This new filing tonight is manaforts best effort with his defense team to argue for lenience in that sentence from that virginia judge. Quote, defendant paul j.
